Figure 1 Relationship of breast tumour to the nipple was made by first drawing the posterior nipple line (pnl) on the craniocaudal view of the breast. Two relationships were calculated: (1) a/pnl: relationship of the tumour along the pnl; and (2) c/pnl: relationship of the tumour radially oriented to pnl. All measurements were performed in centimetres.
