Evaluation of direct medical costs of hospitalization for febrile neutropenia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Multicentric breast carcinomas have a higher frequency of axillary lymph node metastasis than unifocal tumors of similar stage. It remains unclear whether this merely reflects larger tumor volumes or a different biologic behavior. The authors have shown previously that when aggregate tumor diameter are used ...
