A novel nomogram for the preoperative prediction of sentinel lymph node metastasis in breast cancer

A practical noninvasive method to identify sentinel lymph node (SLN) status in breast cancer patients, who had a suspicious axillary lymph node (ALN) at ultrasound (US), but a negative clinical physical examination is needed. To predict SLN metastasis using a nomogram based on US and biopsy‐based pathological features, this retrospective study investigated associations between clinicopathological features and SLN status.
