A Novel Predictive Nomogram including Serum Lipoprotein a Level for Nonsentinel Lymph Node Metastases in Chinese Breast Cancer Patients with Positive Sentinel Lymph Node Metastases

Figure 4

A nomogram composed of Lp(a) and clinical-related factors from the MSKCC model in primary cohort. Constructed Lp(a) nomogram to predict non-SLN metastasis for Chinese patients, with the pathologic size, tumor type (ductal vs. lobular), lymphovascular invasion (yes vs. no), multifocality (yes vs. no), estrogen-receptor status (yes vs. no), No. of positive SLN, No. of negative SLN, and Lp(a) level.
