A nomogram with Nottingham prognostic index for predicting locoregional recurrence in breast cancer patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Nottingham prognostic index (NPI) has been shown to negatively impact survival in breast cancer (BC). However, its ability to predict the locoregional recurrence (LRR) of BC remains still unclear. This study aims to determine whether a higher NPI serves as a significant predictor of LRR in BC.

Methods

In total, 238 patients with BC were included in this analysis, and relevant clinicopathological features were collected. Correlation analysis was performed between NPI scores and clinicopathological characteristics. The optimal nomogram model was determined by Akaike information criterion. The accuracy of the model's predictions was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC curves), calibration curves and goodness of fit tests. The clinical ap
