Development and validation of a nomogram incorporating axillary lymph node ratio to predict survival in node-positive breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy

Over the past decade, several studies have highlighted that axillary lymph node ratio (ratio of involved over excised axillary lymph nodes) was a superior predictor for survival outcomes compared with ypN staging. Thus, this study aimed to integrate the prognostic value of axillary lymph node ratio to improve individualized prediction of survival in node-positive breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.A clinical data of 339...
