When the axillary nodes contain tumour, the prognosis in breast carcinoma is poor. Preliminary results suggest that a combination of efferent vascular invasion of the axillary nodes and oestrogen receptor analysis on the primary tumour may enable a more individual prognosis to be given at the time of operation. The risk of early recurrence is greatest in patients with efferent vascular invasion and an oestrogen receptor negative primary tumour.
