A Scoring System to Predict Nonsentinel Lymph Node Status in Breast Cancer Patients with Metastatic Sentinel Lymph Nodes: A Comparison with Other Scoring Systems

Abstract: The likelihood of metastatic non-SLN correlated with preoperative ultrasonographic findings of the axilla, increasing pathologic size of the primary tumor, presence of lymphovascular invasion, increasing number of metastatic SLN, and decreasing number of nonmetastatic SLN. Our scoring system appears to be effective and accurate for selecting patients for whom ALND can be avoided.

“…This result stated the aggravated risk corolated with tumour size. In the present study; LVI, the number of positive SLNs, extracapsular extension and the positive SLN ratio (proportion of positive SLN to total SLN) were the other factors affecting non-SLN metastasis risk in univariate analysis compatible with literature [22][23][24]. However, only the positive SLN ratio showed significance in multivariate analysis (p=0.005).…”

“…Tumour size is also reported as a related factor with non-SLN metastasis in some other various studies [21][22][23]. In our study, there was significance between the non-SLN positive and negative groups according to mean tumour size (p=0.002) and in multivariate analysis tumour size over 5 cm.…”

“…Therefore, we considered SLN micrometastasis as the most important negative predictive factor of NSLN involvement in IBC patients with SLN metastasis. Since Van Zee and colleagues reported the use of a nomogram to calculate the likelihood of metastases in NSLNs (42), several other groups have proposed new predictive models (43)(44)(45)(46) and compared their predictive probabilities (47,48). These studies have suggested that the nomograms might be good discriminators of NSLN metastases in SLNpositive IBC patients, but because of their limitations and imperfections they should be used with caution in clinical applications (42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48).…”

“…To avoid performing ALND for non-SLN-negative patients with SLN-positive axilla, nomograms and scoring systems for predicting the status of the axillary non-SLNs have been developed in many centers (Van Zee et al, 2003;Degnim et al, 2005;Smidt et al, 2005;Chapgar et al, 2006;Pal et al, 2008;Alran et al, 2007;Kohrt et al, 2008;Cho et al, 2008;Coufal et al, 2009;Gur et al, 2010;Perhavec et al, 2010;Lombardi, et al, 2011;Mittendorf et al, 2012;Meretoja et al, 2012;Derici et al, 2012). Many studies have tested these models and have obtained varying results (Van Zee et al, 2003;Kocsis et al, 2004;Degnim et al, 2005;Soni et al, 3 2005; Lambert et al, 2006;Ponzone et al, 2007;Pal et al, 2008;Kohrt et al, 2008;Cho et al, 2008;Klar et al, 2008;Poirier et al, 2008;Coufal et al, 2009;Coutant et el., 2009;Scow et al, 2009;Gur et al, 2010;Moghaddam et al, 2010;Hessman et al, 2011;Hidar et al, 2011;Lombardi et al, 2011;Tan et al, 2011;Derici et al, 2012;Chen et al, 2012;Zhu et al, 2012;Sasada et al, 2013).…”
