A mathematical model for the effect of a false-negative sentinel node biopsy on breast cancer mortality: a tool for everyday use

One of the concerns of using sentinel node biopsy (SNB) is the risks of a false-negative result (FNR). We have created a mathematical model to estimate the effects of FNR on mortality because of excess local recurrence and adjuvant therapy inappropriately withheld. With a FNR of 9.7%, the absolute e...
