Introduction: Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy amongst women. Twenty five years of research examining factors

associated with local recurrence in breast conserving surgery has provided much illumination. We know for instance that women of young age,

high tumor grade, lymphovascular invasion etc. Are at increased risk of local recurrence.

SCOPE : To establish the effect of lymph node post lumpectomy for early breast cancer ( stage I and II )

Material and Methods: The study included 100 female patients admitted to the Amail Oncology center , Yemen, with the diagnosis of early breast

carcinoma (stage I, II) post breast conserving surgery between January 2013 and February 2016.

Result:From the 100 female patients of the study group.

25 (25%) of female patients were ≤ 40 year–old, while 75 (75%) were > 40 year–old.

A total of 100 patients underwent BCS. Forty–four patients (44%) had NO tumor , twenty three patients (23%) had N1, thirty three patients (33%)

had N2.

CONCLUSIONS: In our study, lymph node status was correlated with tumor recurrence and Local Recurrence Free Survival , but not to Overall

Survival.
