Fig.48.6 Clinical Lymph Node Categories: cN 1 is defined as metástasis tasis in ipsilateral infraclavicular (level III axillary) lymph node(s) with
in movable ipsilateral level I. II axillary lymph nodes. cN2a is defined as or without level I, II axillary lymph node involvement. cN3b is defined as
metástasis in ipsilateral level I, II axillary lymph nodes fixed to one metástasis in clinically detected ipsilateral internal mammary lymph
another (matted). cN2b is defined as metástasis only in clinically detected node(s) and clinically evident axillary lymph node(s). cN3c is defined as
ipsilateral internal mammary nodes and in the absence of clinically evi- metástasis in ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node(s) with or without
dent level I, II axillary lymph node metástasis. cN3a is defined as metás- axillary or internal mammary lymph node involvement
