Van Nuys grading is used for

Van Nuy's prognostic index score(VNPI) is used for Ductal Carcinoma In Situ.

All the scores are added together. 1)If points are 4-6 = % of local recurrence is 1%, 5 year survival is 97-99%, Risk is low 2) if points are 7-9, then % of local recurrence is 20%, 5 year survival is 73-84%, Risk is intermediate 3) if the points are 10-12, then % of local recurrence is 50%, 5 year survival is 34-51%, and Risk is High.
