Summary

This prospective, single-arm, phase II trial studies axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) to see if it can be safely omitted in breast cancer patients with axillary pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST). Breast cancer patients with biopsy-proven positive axillary lymph nodes at initial diagnosis, and converted to negative after NST, which is confirmed by Stained region Lymph Node Biopsy(SrLNB), will be enrolled in the study. In other words, a total of 92 patients will be exempted from ALND after SrLNB, and afterwards complete regional node irradiation (RNI) including the axilla. They will also undergo adjuvant chemotherapy, targeted therapy, endocrinotherapy after surgery. These patients will be followed up in the next three years for local-regional recurrence and long-time survival outcome.

Conditions

  • Axillary Lymph Node Dissection
  • Pathological Complete Response
  • Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy
  • Breast Cancer
  • Axillary Lymph

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Stained region Lymph Node Biopsy (SrLNB)

Before NST, carbon nanoparticles suspension would be injected into the cortex of positive lymph nodes for staining under ultrasound guidance. Marked lymph nodes will be removed and biopsied after NST.

RADIATION

Regional lymph node radiotherapy (RNI) including the axilla

RNI including the axilla covers the supraclavicular region and entire axillary lymphatic drainage area (region I, II and III) ,and is at a dose of 50 Gy/25 times, with additional prophylactic irradiation of the internal breast lymphatic drainage area for eligible patients.
