Performance of four published risk models to predict sentinel lymph-node involvement in Australian women with early breast cancer.

CONCLUSION: All four models showed good discrimination for predicting sentinel lymph-node metastasis, in particular for macrometastasis. With further development such risk models could have a role in the provision of reassurance to low risk women with normal nodes sonographicaally for whom no axillary surgery is contemplated.
