摘要: Purpose To study the relation between presence of axillary lymph node (LN) involvement and age in breast cancer. Patients Methods The cancer database University Hospitals Leuven contains complete data on 2,227 patients with early consecutively treated 2000 2005. A multivariate piecewise logistic regression model was used to analyze LN at diagnosis. similar analysis then performed a large, independent, population-based from Eindhoven Cancer Registry investigate whether effects could be replicated. Results We observed effect age. That is, women up 70 years were less likely have positive LNs increasing (odds ratio per 10-year increase, 0.87). In contrast, older more However, for women, interacted tumor size (P = .0044), suggesting that is assoc...
