Table 3. Incidence of Ultrastage-detected, Low-Volume Metastases in SLNs by Final Histologic Grade and Depth of Myometrial Invasion.
DMI | Grade 1 | Grade 2 | Grade 3 | Total |
---|---|---|---|---|
No Invasion | MM 1 ITC 1 n = 165 |
MM 0 ITC 0 n = 39 |
MM 0 ITC 0 n = 38 |
2/242 = 0.8% |
< 50% invasion | MM 2 ITC 4 n = 80 |
MM 0 ITC 4 n = 62 |
MM 0 ITC 6 n = 56 |
16/198 = 8.0% |
≥ 50% invasion | MM 0 ITC 2 n = 16 |
MM 0 ITC 0 n = 15 |
MM 1 ITC 2 n = 37 |
5/68 = 7.4% |
Total | 10/261= 3.8% | 4/116= 3.4% | 9/131 = 6.9% |
23/508 =
4.5% |
MM: micrometastasis; ITC: isolated tumor cells; DMI: depth of myometrial invasion
