Prognostic Factors and Treatment Decisions in Axillary-Node-Negative Breast Cancer
Abstract
Approximately 186,000 new cases of breast cancer will occur in the United States in 1992, and about two thirds of these cases will not involve axillary nodes. This means that each month decisions about adjuvant therapy will be made for more than 10,000 patients with node-negative breast cancer.Why not simply treat all patients with node-negative breast cancer with additional systemic therapy?1 , 2 One should not, for the following reasons. First, approximately 70 percent of such patients are cured without any adjuvant therapy. Thus, a large number of women without disease would be subjected to the toxic effects of this therapy . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
