Nonsentinel node metastases are rare with micrometastasis or ITC in SN. Most published predictive models for nonsentinel node involvement perform poorly in the present patient population. We developed a new predictive model which seems to perform well in discriminating patients with more than 10% risk of additional metastases. However, the presented nomogram needs to be validated with an independent patient series to evaluate its accuracy, especially for high-risk patients.
