Abstract:
Background: Several mathematical models have been developed to predict non-SN status in patients with breast cancer with SN metastasis. The Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center nomogram and Tenon score outperform other methods in academic studies but their exportability at multiple geographic locations and practice settings has never been reported. The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the combined use of the MSKCC nomogram (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center) and Tenon score to select, in patients with metastatic sentinel lymph node (SN), those at low risk of metastatic non-SN in whom additional axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) could be avoided. Material and methods: From January 2011 to July 2012, data on 3157 patients with breast cancer from 65 institutions (university affiliated, general, regional hospital, nonprofit private hospital and private practice) were prospectively recorded (NCT01509963). Selection criteria were patients aged over 18 years old with untreated invasive T1-2 breast cancer with an indication of SN procedure. The primary outcome measure was the false negative rate in patients with both a ≤10% probability of metastatic non-SN with the MSKCC nomogram and a Tenon score ≤3.5 (i.e. low risk): proportion of patients with metastatic non-SN at additional ALND. The hypothesis was a 5%±5% rate in this group of patients. Other patients were considered at high risk. Because of the results of the Z011 and IBCSG 23-01 trials, additional ALND was not mandatory.in case of metastatic SN. Results: Among the 2936 patients, at least one SN was metastatic (isolated tumor cells, micro- or macrometastasis) in 696 patients (23.7%). Among them, 178 did not have completion ALND. Among patients with completion ALND (n=518, 74.4%), 67 (13%), 437 (84%) and 14 (3%) patients were at low, high and undetermined combined risk while 47.5% were at low risk in patients without completion ALND (p & lt;.001). This study did not meet its primary objective as the false negative rate in patients with low risk was 16.4% (11/67) [95% confidence interval: 8.5%-27.5%]. The false negative rate was significantly higher in patients in the high risk group: 33.9% (148/437) [95% confidence interval: 29.6%-38.4%] had non-SN metastasis (p=.004). Analyzed individually, Tenon score and MSKCC nomogram had complementary performances (number of patients at low risk: 35.3% and 18.5%, false negative rates: 21.9% and 17%, concordance index: 0.63 and 0.65, respectively). Conclusion: In this controlled prospective trial, metastatic SN patients with both a ≤ 10% probability of metastatic non-SN with the MSKCC nomogram and a Tenon score ≤ 3.5 had completion axillary dissection in 47% of cases: in these patients, the false negative rate was statistically over 5% and did not reach the primary endpoint. Further evaluation is warranted to determine the outcome of patients with and without axillary dissection.
