| Research Abstract |
(1) The expression of ALDH1 which is the marker of the breast cancer stem cell in the axillary lymph node metastasis was the significantly prognostic factor for node positive (n=1-3) breast cancer patients.
(2) There was not significantly correlation between the expression of ALDH1 in distant metastatic lesion and prognosis. Because of the discordances of predictive factors between primary and metastatic lesions, the pathological examinations in metastases are important to decide the treatment strategy of metastatic breast cancer.
