- Abstract
Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) remains the standard procedure for breast cancer patients with sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastasis; however, additional nodal metastasis is detected in completion ALND in only about 50% of these patients. To identify the risk of non-SLN metastasis, the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) developed a nomogram. Many validation studies have been performed to evaluate the accuracy of the nomogram in Western populations, but not in Asians. We conducted this study to establish the accuracy of the nomogram in a Japanese population.
