Nomogram models for prediction of axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients
We developed two preoperative nomograms that can be used to predict ALN metastasis (LN - vs. LN+) and the number of metastatic ALNs (≤ 2 vs. >2) in early breast cancer patients. They were well verified in internal testing groups. The nomograms can help clinicians predict the status of ALNs and guide discussions regarding axillary management.
