<p>Establishment of Simple Nomograms for Predicting Axillary Lymph Node Involvement in Early Breast Cancer</p>

Abstract

The successfully established nomograms based on US characteristics to predict ALN metastasis rate and high axillary tumor burden rate in early breast cancer can achieve individual prediction. Compared with other nomogram predictions, it is more intuitive, and can help clinical decision-making; thus, it should be promoted. However, at this time US features alone are insufficient to replace sentinel lymph node biopsy.
