Breast cancer with axillary lymph node metastasis requires removal of the cancerous breast in addition to lymph node dissection in the ipsilateral axilla. In addition, the patient should be treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy as soon as possible after surgery.
Breast cancer that has spread to the axillary lymph is a local metastasis, and although the cancer has metastasized, the prognosis is better compared to metastases in the bone, lung, or liver. After metastasis occurs, the patient needs to have the breast cancer tissue removed immediately to prevent the cancer from spreading to distant lymph nodes. The lymph nodes in the axilla should be removed along with the primary site of the breast. After surgery, the size of the primary site and the number of axillary lymph node metastases, or whether the cancer cells have metastasized to other parts of the body, determine the subsequent treatment plan, such as: local radiotherapy, systemic chemotherapy, targeted therapy, etc., so as to remove the remaining cancer cells from the body.
When breast cancer has spread to the axillary lymph, it is important to take care of it on a daily basis, in addition to active treatment. The main thing that patients should do is to regulate their mindset and have confidence in the treatment. Patients should also adjust their diet structure and eat more food with high protein, high calorie and high vitamin to promote recovery. The company’s main goal is to provide a comprehensive range of products and services to the public.
