Gail model and fifth edition of ultrasound BI‐RADS help predict axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer—A multicenter prospective study

We aim to assess the performance of the Gail model and the fifth edition of ultrasound BI‐RADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System) in breast cancer for predicting axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM).
