Computed tomographic demonstration of internal mammary lymph-node metastasis in patients with locally recurrent breast carcinoma.

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Internal mammary lymphadenopathy was demonstrated by computed tomography (CT) in 18 patients with biopsy-proved, locally recurrent breast carcinoma. The additional information provided by CT prompted alterations in the proposed radiation treatment portals in 7 of the 18 patients. The CT demonstration of internal mammary lymphadenopathy is outlined and compared with the findings obtained on routine chest radiography.
