Description
Wenjin Lin and co-authors build a risk score to spare some breast cancer patients an extra biopsy. In early cancer with no clear node spread, surgeons sample the first draining node to stage the disease. Most samples come back clean, so many patients gain nothing from the step. The team focused on a tricky group whose scans looked odd but whose needle tests were clean.
From close to four hundred such patients, five signs predicted hidden spread. They span tumor size, grade, and ultrasound patterns. A chart built on the five sorted patients well in both a main and a later group. The lowest risk slice had almost no spread at all, hinting some can safely skip the biopsy.
