AbstractThe most important predictor of outcome for women with early stage breast cancer is the presence or absence of metastases in the axillary lymph nodes. In the era of sentinel lymph node biopsies and improved pathology techniques, micrometastatic disease can be diagnosed. The question of whether or not to treat these women as if they have nodal disease remains in doubt. In order to further explore this topic, we identified two cases of women with nodal micrometastases at our institution. A literature review of PUBMED and SABCS abstracts was then performed. In this article, we discuss our results and the emerging clinical debate about the management of nodal micrometastases.
