title: Clinicopathological correlations of xeroradiography in determining involvement of metastic axillary nodes in female breast cancer.
abstract: Xeroradiographic evaluation of the axilla is useful in the presence of mammary carcinoma, as radiographic examination of this area can be highly accurate in predicting its malignant involvement if certain strict criteria are employed. The ability to diagnose nodal metastases with near certainty has important implications for treatment planning and prognostication.
