What is the Prognosis for Patients with Axillary Lymph Node Involvement?
The prognosis for patients with axillary lymph node involvement varies based on several factors, including the number of affected nodes, the size and grade of the primary tumor, and the presence of hormone receptors or HER2 protein. Generally, a higher number of involved lymph nodes is associated with a poorer prognosis. However, advances in treatment have significantly improved outcomes for many patients.
