Patients who were identified to have infraclavicular lymph node metastases by preoperative ultrasonographic examination should have a relevant treatment plan as they are classified as locally advanced, stage III-C disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
