Abstract

Background: Patients having breast cancer, with increasing tumour size is associated with an increased of axillary lymph node involvement. Moreover, all this association to place altogether of all tumors smaller than 1.0 cm in a single category and all tumors larger than 5.0 cm in another category. This coarse classification may obscure a nuanced description of the effects of tumour size across the full range of possible sizes.
