Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The spatial distribution of positive nodes in axillary after neoadjuvant chemotherapy based on pectoralis minor location

    After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, whether positive nodes remission (transform to negative), from Level III to Level II, and from Level II to Level I. This means that if the nodes at Level I are negative, the nodes at Level II or Level III will be negative; if the nodes at Level II are negative, the nodes at Level III will be negative; if the nodes at Level III are positive, the nodes at Level I and Level II will be positive.

    During the surgery

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • The spatial distribution of black-stained in axillary after neoadjuvant chemotherapy based on pectoralis minor location

    During the surgery

  • The spatial distribution of positive nodes in axillary after neoadjuvant chemotherapy based on intercostobrachiales nerves (ICBN) location

    During the surgery

Study Arms (4)

complete remission (CR) group

EXPERIMENTAL

According to the RECIST 1.1, 32 patients were allocated into the complete remission (CR) group based on their responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

Procedure: complete remission (CR) group

partial remission (PR) group

EXPERIMENTAL

According to the RECIST 1.1, 61 patients were allocated into the partial remission (PR) group based on their responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

Procedure: partial remission (PR) group

stable disease (SD) group

EXPERIMENTAL

According to the RECIST 1.1, 12 patients were allocated into the stable disease (SD) group based on their responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

Procedure: stable disease (SD) group

progressive disease (PD) group

EXPERIMENTAL

According to the RECIST 1.1, 5 patients were allocated into the progressive disease (PD) group based on their responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

Procedure: progressive disease (PD) group
