Ultimately, the LASSO regression identified the following 13 most powerful predictors: age group, clinical tumour stage, histologic type, number of positive SLNs, number of negative SLNs, number of SLNs dissected, SLN metastasis ratio, ER status, PR status, HER2 status, Ki67 staining percentage, molecular subtype and P53 status. Here, MKI67 is linked to neoplasm.
