ABSTRACT: Internal mammary nodes are addressed in high risk group of patients of
carcinoma breast. Though there is crossover of lymphatics across the mid-line,
only ipsilateral internal mammary nodes are evaluated or treated. Considering
the negative impact on survival of patients with inner quadrant tumor, do we
need to treat bilateral internal mammary nodes?
