Objectives: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy all over the world and its recurrence constitutes a burden on both patients and their managing doctors. The extent of axillary lymph node dissection is a controversial factor that may affect recurrence of breast cancer, this study aimed to find the effect of the number of excised axillary lymph nodes during modified radical mastectomy on breast cancer recurrence. Methods: A retrospective study that reviewed the medical records of consecutive female patients in Basrah Oncology Centre from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2019 included a total of 490 female patients who were diagnosed with stage I-III breast cancer and all of them underwent modified radical mastectomy and axillary lymph nodes dissection Results:A 350 (71.5%) of patients had no recurrence during the study period and 140 (28.5%) patients presented with recurrence and 7.7% of total number of studied patients had loco-regional recurrence. Conclusion:Factors that had statistically significant association with recurrence of breast cancer after modified radical mastectomy were: age, total number of excised axillary lymph nodes and number of positive lymph nodes.
