Zusammenfassung

Aims: The sentinel lymph node (SLN) procedure could be omitted in cases of an accurate prediction of a very high or very low probability of sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastasis in early breast cancer patients. We evaluated a breast cancer nomogram, an online tool provided by the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) that predicts the likelihood of a positive lymph node. Methods: Data from 545 patients with successful SLN biopsy were collected, including 118 patients with a positive sentinel lymph node. Histopathological assessment of the SLN included hematoxylin and/or immunohistochemnistry. Predictive…
