Use of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Patients With Early-Stage, Palpable Node-Positive HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer Having Upfront Surgery and Adjuvant Radiation

Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out how often the researchers can avoid an ALND in patients with early-stage, node-positive HR+/HER2- breast cancer who are having upfront surgery. The study researchers think that, if AUS before surgery can help identify people who may have only 1 or 2 affected lymph nodes, it will be possible to perform the less radical standard SLNB during surgery.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients aged ≥18 years with biopsy-proven invasive breast cancer
Patients with cTx, cT1, or cT2 tumors with palpable ipsilateral mobile adenopathy of level I/II axillary nodes with biopsy-proven (either by pre-operative biopsy or intraoperative frozen section) nodal metastasis (cN1) who are undergoing upfront surgery

Patients with tumors of the HR+/HER2- subtype, defined as:

HR+: Positive for estrogen receptor and/or progesterone receptor staining, indicated by ≥1% immunoreactive tumor nuclei
HER2-: Immunohistochemistry assay demonstrating no or faint staining in ≤10% of tumor cells (IHC 0 or 1+) or negative by dual probe in situ hybridization assay

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients with prior ipsilateral breast cancer
Patients who are pregnant
Patients with stage IV disease at presentation
Patients with advanced regional disease (cN2/cN3)
