Predicting Occult Nodal Disease. Of 60 malignant basal patients who were cN0, 30% were classified as mesenchymal high and 70% as mesenchymal low. Of mesenchymal low patients 81% were pN0 and of mesenchymal high patients 56% were pN+ (chi sq = 8.0, p = 0.005).

Mesenchymal Low Mesenchymal High Total
Node Negative 34 (81%) 8 (44%) 42
Node Positive 8 (19%) 10 (56%) 18
Total 42 (100%) 18 (100%) 60
