Purpose: The study aimed to assess the frequency of Langer's arch in patients undergoing axillary dissection for breast cancer. Methods: From January-2015 to March-2020, in a general hospital in México City, female patients undergoing axillary dissection for breast cancer were studied. The analysis involved: demographic and anthropometric data, type of surgical treatment, histopathologic diagnosis, number of lymph nodes harvested, and frequency of Langer's arch finding. Results: The sample studied was 123 axillary dissections. The mean age of the patients was 59 ± 10.5-years. Modified radical mastectomy was done in 117 cases (95.1%). Ductal carcinoma occurred in 96 cases (78%). The mean number of lymph nodes harvested was 24 ± 6.5. Langer's arch finding occurred in 33 cases (26.8%). Conclusion: Langer's arch is frequent in our patients undergoing axillary dissection for breast cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
