Abstract / Description of output

The optimal management of axillary lymph node metastases from occult breast cancer (TXN1-2M0) is uncertain and practice varies in the use of primary breast radiotherapy. We conducted a retrospective review to examine clinical outcomes for patients managed with or without primary breast radiotherapy.
