N number of ITT patients, SLN number of lymph nodes

aPatient concordance rate: the number of patients for whom all nodes detected by vital blue dye were also detected by [99mTc]tilmanocept divided by the number of patients with at least 1 blue-stained lymph node

bLymph node concordance rate: the number of blue-stained nodes that were detected by [99mTc]tilmanocept divided by the number of blue-stained lymph nodes

cThe intent-to-treat population

d95 % exact binomial confidence interval for pooled analysis proportion
