Synopsis: 
This study has shown the analysis and characteristics of axillary lymph nodes after axillary dissection. The likelihood of non-sentinel nodes (non-SLN) metastases is shown to be dependent on penetration of the sentinel’s capsule by malignant cells, tumour grade, stage, and molecular subtype.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine the prevalence of positive non-sentinel nodes (non-SLN) after axillary dissection for positive sentinel lymph node (SLN) and the relationship between occurrence of positive non-SLNs and penetration of the sentinel's capsule by malignant cells, as well as grade and molecular subtype of the breast cancer.
