A prospective study has been carried out in 172 women to determine the sensitivity of methods to detect occult metastatic disease in the skeleton and liver. With the exception of bone scintiscans, the results of these tests bore little relationship to recurrence rates. On the other hand, knowledge of the histopathology of the lower axillary (pectoral) lymph nodes is of value in this respect.A follow-up study is also reported which confirms the importance of accurate measurements of the primary tumour clinical node status and oestrogen receptor contact of the tumour in defining prognostic groups. Elastosis (estimated in 165 tumours) did not prove to be a useful prognostic index.
对172名女性进行了一项前瞻性研究,以确定检测骨骼和肝脏隐匿性转移疾病方法的敏感性。除骨闪烁扫描外,这些检测结果与复发率几乎没有关系。另一方面,了解腋窝下(胸肌)淋巴结的组织病理学在这方面具有重要价值。还报告了一项随访研究,该研究证实了在定义预后组时准确测量原发性肿瘤临床淋巴结状态和肿瘤雌激素受体情况的重要性。弹性组织变性(在165个肿瘤中进行评估)并未被证明是一个有用的预后指标。
