Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
axillary lymphnode metastasis associate with distance between the breast cancer tumor and the nipple intraoperative using frozen section , 2 week after opertion for permanent pathology Pythagorean theorem for calculate distance of tumor

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
ocation of the breast cancer tumor affect the rate of cancer spreading to the lymph nodes at pre operative (day 0) and post operative 2 week for permanent pathology locate tumor location using mammography
