A critical review of the chest CT scans performed to detect asymptomatic synchronous metastasis in new and recurrent breast cancers

Table 4 Size of primary tumor and relationship with distant metastasis in patients who had primary resection

Metastasis on SI	n	Mean tumor size (mm) (SD, range)
Yes	6*	38.3 (10.3, range 25–50)
No	251	29.7 (18.3, range 3–130)

Difference in mean tumor size is 8.7 mm (95% CI − 6.1–23.5) which was not significant (p > 0.05)
*All RBCs and ABCs without primary resection were not included in this analysis
