Popis: Background: Residual disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer patients predicts worse outcomes than pathological complete response. Differing prognostic impacts based on the anatomical site of residual tumors are not well studied. Objectives: The study aims to assess disease-free survival (DFS) in breast cancer patients with different residual tumor sites following NAC and to develop a nomogram for predicting 1- to 3-year DFS in these patients. Design: A retrospective cohort study. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 953 lymph node-positive breast cancer patients with residual disease post-NAC. Patients were categorized into three groups: residual disease in breast (RDB), residual disease in lymph nodes (RDN), and residual disease in both (RDBN). DFS compared among groups. Patients were divided into a training set and a validation set in a 7:3 ratio. Prognostic factors for DFS were analyzed to develop a nomogram prediction model. Results: RDB patients had superior 3-year DFS of 94.6% versus 85.2% for RDN and 81.8% for RDBN ( p
