Pathoma says
1.Metastasis is the most important factor for prognosis but pt present before mets occur
2.Spread to the axillary lymph node is the most USEFUL prognostic factor(given that mets is not given at presentation)
So, my question is in a question stem if it gives us breast carcinoma with no mets and asks us which of the following is the most important/useful prognostic factor, what should we choose? Mets or Lymph node spread??
