The purpose of this study is 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.

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.
