What are the Treatment Implications if Axillary Lymph Nodes are Positive for Cancer?
If axillary lymph nodes are found to be positive for cancer, the treatment approach may include a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies. The specific treatment plan depends on several factors, including the number of positive nodes, the size of the tumor, and the cancer's molecular characteristics. Radiation therapy is often recommended to the axilla to kill any remaining cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence.
