Internal mammary lymphatic metastasis

Authoring team

Internal mammary lymphatic metastasis tends to come from the medial half and the periareolar regions of the breast. Spread to the internal mammary chain occurs with a lesser frequency than axillary nodal spread but it has a similarly poor prognosis.

Surgery or radiotherapy to involved nodes does not seem to improve survival.
