Abbreviations/definitions: LNR = low nodal ratio <40%; INR = intermediate Nodal Ratio, 40%–70%; HNR = high nodal ratio >70%. SC = supraclavicular recurrence; IM = internal mammary recurrence. All patients with nodal relapse received supraclavicular radiation. Percentages given as a fraction of total nodal relapses (). |
