The purpose of this study was to confirm that the grading system for lymph vessel tumor
emboli is a significant histologic outcome predictor for patients with invasive ductal
carcinoma. The subjects of this study were 1042 invasive ductal carcinoma patients who did
not receive neoadjuvant therapy. We classified all invasive ductal carcinomas according to
the grading system for lymph vessel tumor emboli we devised, and performed multivariate
analyses with well-known prognostic factors. Of 1042 carcinomas, 666, 250, 97, and 29 …
