Summary
Microscopic analysis of 71 breast cancer cases reveals that axillary lymph node metastases often present as the first clinical sign. The study details dysplasia and preinvasive cancer, discussing metastatic spread without detectable invasive tumor growth.
Area of Science:
- Oncology

- Breast Cancer Research
Context:
- Focuses on 71 cases of clinically occult breast cancer.
- Investigates early-stage disease and metastatic patterns.
Purpose:
- To report microscopic findings in occult breast cancer.
- To describe histological features of dysplasia and preinvasive cancer.
- To discuss metastatic spread to lymph nodes without invasive tumor.
Summary:
