The Mathematical Formula
Risk assessment based on Nottingham Prognostic Index (NPI) or Predict models

The Nottingham Prognostic Index (NPI) formula is: [0.02 × Size (mm)] + Grade (1-3) + Nodes (1-3).

Node status is scored as: - 1: 0 nodes - 2: 1-3 nodes - 3: 4+ nodes

NPI Scores: - ≤ 2.4: Excellent prognosis (93% 10-yr survival) - 2.41 – 3.4: Good prognosis (80% 10-yr survival) - 3.41 – 5.4: Moderate prognosis (42-60% 10-yr survival) - > 5.4: Poor prognosis (13% 10-yr survival)
