Abstract:Objectives
To develop and validate a nomogram for predicting ≥ 3 metastatic axillary lymph nodes (ALNs) in early breast cancer with no palpable axillary adenopathy by clinicopathologic data, contrast-enhanced (CE) lymphatic ultrasound (US), and grayscale findings of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs).
Materials and methods
Women with T1-2N0 invasive breast cancer were consecutively recruited for the CE lymphatic US. Patients from Center 1 were grouped in… Show more
