Relationship of tumor grade to other pathologic features and to treatment outcome of patients with early stage breast carcinoma treated with breast‐conserving therapy

Although histologic grade has previously been described as a predictor of distant failure, it is uncertain whether histologic grade should be used to decide which patients should undergo axillary lymph node dissection and whether grade should be considered as a selection factor for breast‐conserving therapy.
