BACKGROUND: Management of patients with breast cancers < or = 1 cm remains controversial. Reports of infrequent nodal metastases in tumors < or = 5 mm has led to suggestions that axillary dissection should be selective, and that tumor characteristics should guide adjuvant therapy.
METHODS: A retrospective review of 290 patients with breast cancer 1 cm in size or smaller from 1989 to 1991 was done. Distant disease-free survival (DDFS) was the primary outcome measure.
RESULTS: There were 95 T1a (< or = 5 mm) and 196 T1b (6-10 mm) cancers. Nodal metastases were found in 8 T1a and 26 T1b tumors. Larger size, poorer differentiation, and lymphovascular invasion (LVI) were associated with more nodal metastases, but none of these trends reached statistical significance. The 6-year DDFS was 93% for node-negative and 87% for node-positive patients (P = .02). Overall, breast cancers with poorer differentiation and LVI trended toward a poorer outcome. For patients with node-negative tumors, LVI was associated with a poorer outcome (P = .03). The size of the primary tumor was not predictive of outcome. There were no nodal metastases or recurrences in the 18 patients with microinvasive breast cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: Lymph node status is the major determinant of outcome in breast cancers 1 cm in size or smaller. Accurate axillary assessment remains crucial in management of small breast cancer.
