Predictive Probability of Four Different Breast Cancer Nomograms for Nonsentinel Axillary Lymph Node Metastasis in Positive Sentinel Node Biopsy

Abstract

We found that the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center nomogram was more predictive than the other nomograms, but the Cambridge model and the Tenon model reached borderline values for accurate prediction. Nomograms developed at other institutions should be used with caution when counseling patients about the risk of additional nodal disease.
