Nodal recurrence as a function of nodal ratio.
| Ratio | Axilla n (%) |
SC n (%) |
IM n (%) |
Total n (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LNR | 0 (0) | 0 (0) | 0 (0) | 0 (0) |
| LNR | 0 (0) | 0 (0) | 0 (0) | 0 (0) |

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 (n = 3).
