引言：乳腺癌淋巴结微转移的预后意义存在争议。我们假设只有微转移的患者（N1 mi）的生存率介于有1-3个肿瘤阳性淋巴结的患者（N1）和无阳性淋巴结的患者（N 0）之间。方法：我们查询了1992年至2003年所有无远处转移的浸润性导管或小叶乳腺癌患者的监测、流行病学和最终结果（SEER）数据库，
Introduction: The prognostic significance of lymph node micrometastases in breast cancer is controversial. We hypothesized that the survival of patients with solely micrometastatic disease (N1mi) would be intermediate to patients with 1-3 tumor-positive lymph nodes (N1) and those with no positive lymph nodes (N0).Methods: We queried the surveillance, epidemiology and end results (SEER) database for all patients between 1992 and 2003 with invasive ductal or lobular breast cancer without distant metastases and
