Abstract
When the axillary nodes contain tumor, the prognosis in breast carcinoma is poor. Preliminary results suggest that a combination of efferent vascular invasion of the axillary nodes and estrogen receptor analysis on the primary tumor may enable a more individual prognosis to be given at the time of operation. The risk of early recurrence is greatest in patients with efferent vascular invasion and an estrogen receptor negative primary tumor.
