Overview of IMN failures. (A) Extent of disease. A total of 67 patients were identified with IMN failures as a first event. Ten patients (15%) presented with isolated IMN failures, 14 patients (21%) presented with other locoregional recurrence (IMN with OLR), and 43 patients (64%) presented with concomitant distant metastases (IMN with DM). (B) Anatomic distribution. IMN failures were mapped to intercostal locations; 6% of failures appeared in the infraclavicular space (between clavicle and first rib); 63% of failures mapped to the first intercostal space (between first and second rib); 18% mapped to the second intercostal space; 13% mapped to the third intercostal space; and no failures were identified caudal to the third intercostal space. Abbreviations: DM = distant metastases; IMN = internal mammary lymph node; OLR = other locoregional recurrence.
