Using Nodal Ratios to Predict Risk of Regional Recurrences in Patients Treated with Breast Conservation Therapy with 4 or More Positive Lymph Nodes

Table 3

Number of involved nodes on axillary dissections as a function of nodal ratio.

	Number of involved lymph nodes
	4–9 + nodal group; 𝑛	≥10 + nodal group; 𝑛	Total; 𝑛
LNR	16	0	16
INR	14	8	22
HNR	6	12	18
Total	36	20	56

Abbreviations/definitions: LNR = low nodal ratio <40%; INR = intermediate nodal ratio, 40%–70%; HNR = high nodal ratio >70%. 𝑛 = number of patients in each nodal group. Percentages given as a fraction of the total cohort (𝑛=56).
