Synchronous contralateral axillary metastases in breast cancer
Description
The purpose of this database is to share data about survival of synchronous contralateral axillary metastases in breast cancer CAM through literature analysis. Methods: A systematic review following PRISMA guidelines to evaluate the prognosis of synchronous CAM is conducted through a search in PubMed, Embase, Clinical Key, and Cochrane Library databases. We present one case. The median age, follow-up, clinico-pathological characteristics, status of lymph nodes, treatments, and outcomes are stated. Results: A total of 23 articles were included, with a total of 68 patients

The search strategy was: a search in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Clinical Key databases in September 2020 using Mesh terms: breast neoplasm AND breast cancer AND lymph nodes AND contralateral AND axilla. Reference list of selected full-text papers was manually evaluated to identify additional studies. The full strategy used in PubMed is the same as Moossdorff (Moossdorff M, Vugts G, Maaskant-Braat AJG, et al. Contralateral lymph node recurrence in breast cancer: Regional event rather than distant metastatic disease. A systematic review of the literature. Eur J Surg Oncol. 2015; 41(9):1128-1136)
