| Abstract |
In most breast cancer series, nearly 30% to 40% of all patients are sentinel node positive; however, in a large proportion of these, the disease is limited to three or fewer positive nodes. On the basis of these observations, the object of this study is to identify a subset of patients who might benefit from a less aggressive axillary dissection, without compromising staging or local disease control. We reviewed known clinicopathologic variables associated with a higher risk for axillary metastasis in 467 patients who underwent sentinel node mapping at our institution. We then compared the incidence of these variables in patients with N1a versus N2-3 stage disease. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 February 2012.
All research outputs
#4,689,563
of 22,757,090 outputs
Outputs from Annals of Surgical Oncology
#1,538
of 6,446 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#13,162
of 70,446 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Annals of Surgical Oncology
#5
of 35 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,757,090 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 76th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,446 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 70,446 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 35 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
