Nottingham Prognostic Index information

The Nottingham prognostic index (NPI) is used to determine prognosis following surgery for breast cancer.^[1]^[2] Its value is calculated using three pathological criteria: the size of the tumour; the number of involved lymph nodes; and the grade of the tumour.^[1] It is calculated to select patients for adjuvant treatment.
