Axillary lymph node (ALN) management in early-stage breast cancer (ESBC) patients has become less invasive during the past decades. Here, we tried to explore whether high nodal burden (HNB) in ESBC patients could be predicted preoperatively, so as to avoid unnecessary sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB).
