Comparison of Targeted Axillary Dissection with Sentinel Node Biopsy Alone on Nodal Recurrence for Patients who have Node-Positive Breast Cancer Treated with Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
For the patients with stage II or III node-positive breast cancer who became cN0 after NAC, with tumor-free sentinel nodes, axillary nodal recurrence rates were low after both TAD and SLNB alone despite rates of higher non-retrieval of the clipped node in the SLNB-alone group. These findings suggest that either method affords excellent staging and regional control.
