Micrometastases in Axillary Lymph Nodes in Breast Cancer, Post-neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study aims to investigate the significance of minimal residual axillary disease following NAC, with a particular focus on micrometastases (ypNmi), in comparison to pathologic lymph node-negative (ypN0) or macrometastases (ypN+). The investigators will further explore the prognostic implications of SLNmi for the prediction of axillary LN status and survival outcomes.
