Popis: Objective The influence of the relationship between pre- and post-menopausal stage of patients with breast cancer (BC) and the risk of sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastasis as well as the influence of oestrogen receptor (ER) status within each one of these groups were analyzed. Method A BC database with 1,388 patients was analysed. Three age groups were studied: A, elderly postmenopausal, 200 patients, ≥70 years old; B, younger postmenopausal, 89 patients, 55–69 years old; C, premenopausal, 85 patients, Results SLN metastasis was significantly (P Conclusions SLN metastasis varies significantly according to hormonal state and not according to age, being more frequent in premenopausal patients and mainly in ER negative tumours.
