Rize Recep Tayyip Erdogan University Hospital, Department of Radiation Oncology, Rize, Turkey.
Background: The ratio of metastatic to dissected lymph nodes (lymph node ratio; LNR) is a sensitive and superior prognostic factor for lymph node evaluation, but its relationship to cancer subtypes is unclear.
Patients And Methods: Data from 469 patients with axillary lymph node metastasis out of 640 early breast cancer cases were retrospectively analyzed. They were classified into 4 molecular subtypes; luminal A, luminal B HER2(+), HER2 overexpression, basal-like.

Department of Radiation Oncology , Rize Recep Tayyip Erdogan University Hospital, Rize, Turkey.
Background: Ten to 30% of early breast cancer (EBC) patients develop brain metastasis (BM) during their follow-up. In this study, we aimed to evaluate importance of the lymph node ratio (LNR) in development of BM in EBC cases.
Materials And Methods: Ninety patients whom had axillary metastases in lymph nodes at their initial diagnosis and developed BM during 5-year follow-up were detected in 950 EBC patients.
