Title: The clinical research of axillary lymph node dissection in breast cancer with apparent clinical axillary lymph node
Abstract: Background and purpose:Breast cancer patients with clinically apparent axillary lymph nodes were always treated with axillary lymph node dissection,the purpose of this study was to identify the clinic application and significance of modified radical mastectomy about improved ter-group axillary lymph node dissection.Methods:In this study,322 patients with clinically apparent axillary lymph nodes were collected,154 patients were operated by improved ter-group axillary lymph node dissection,168 patients were operated with regular axillary lymph node dissection.Results:The difference of the 2 types of surgery has no statistical significance in operative time and side effect(P0.05),but has statistical significance in axillary lymph nodes and ter-group axillary lymph nodes(P0.05).Five-year disease-free survival of patients with negative ter-group axillary lymph was 68.6%,and for the positive was 35.7%,the difference of the 2 surgical methods has statistical significance(P0.05).Conclusion:There are specified clinically meaning for patients with clinically apparent axillary lymph nodes,they were operated by improved ter-group axillary lymph node dissection,and this will make it easy in dissect ter-group axillary lymph nodes.
