NCT03715686

Brief Summary

The investigator developed this protocol to accurately assess lymph node response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in clinical stage N1 (cN1) breast cancer patients. Accuracy of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) alone and in combination with the removal of wire-localized-clip-marked nodes will be analyzed. New model to predict lymph node pathological complete remission (pCR) so as to safely avoid axillary lymph node dissection in cN1 breast cancer patients is sought for.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The accuracy of SLNB alone and in combination with the removal of wire-localized-clip-marked nodes.

    Sensitivity, specificity, false negative rate and negative predictive value will be calculated.

    through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Model to predict lymph node pCR in cN1 patients.

    through study completion, an average of 1 year

Study Arms (1)

Wire localization

EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention: procedure: wire localization

Procedure: wire localization

Interventions

Pathologically proven positive axillary lymph node will be clip-marked before the initiation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. After the completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, a wire will be placed to localize the clip-marked node before surgery. During surgery, a standard sentinel lymph node biopsy will be performed as well as the removal of the wire localized node. ALND will be performed in all participants.

Wire localization
