“…This correlation of AXN and IMN has been noticed since the era of ERM [37]. Our results add to the growing body of evidence for the use of IM-SLNB in patients with axillary involvements [26]. However, these results should be interpreted with caution.…”

“…Multiple factors, such as age at diagnosis, tumor site, laterality, stage, lymph node involvement, ER/PR and HER2 status etc., have been linked to an elevated risk of developing distant metastasis in breast cancer [6]. Nevertheless, few studies have specifically focused on the risk factors for distant metastasis of patients with primary TNBC.…”

“…Routine biopsy and pathologic evaluation of IMNs is generally not performed due to their deep location. Risk of IMN metastasis correlates with axillary lymph node involvement and increases with the number of involved axillary lymph nodes; however, involvement of IMN alone is not an independent predictor of overall survival or disease free survival [3, 4].…”
