Figure 2
Figure 2 Correlation between the maximal diameter of metastasis in the sentinel lymph nodes and number of axillary lymph node metastases. A strong correlation is evident between maximal diameter of metastasis in the sentinel lymph nodes and the number of axillary lymph node metastases (P < 0.001). ALMNs: Axillary lymph node metastases.
