Abstract

Axillary lymph node involvement remainsone of the most important prognosticindicators in breast cancer and plays a criticalrole in determining disease recurrence,therapeutic planning, and long-term survival.Despite advances in systemic therapy and
molecular profiling, the extent and pattern ofnodal metastasis continue to influenceoutcomes following modified radical mastectomy (MRM).
