Measure
A: Surgical Therapy
Local therapy consists of lumpectomy or mastectomy with or without radiotherapy (according to center tumor board decision) with a resection free margin of at least 1 mm or more demonstrated on paraffin embedded histological sections. Intraoperative frozen sections are allowed but not definitive for margin assessment. Sentinel node biopsy may be performed and has always to be followed by axillary dissection of level I and II (axillary surgery level I and II is mandatory). Surgery: lumpectomy or mastectomy with or without radiotherapy. Sentinel biopsy followed by axillary dissection (level I-II)
B: Surgery on Demand
In Arm B (no local therapy) it may be necessary to perform local therapy on demand (surgery, radiotherapy). Reasons may be uncontrolled bleeding or infected exulcerations with a septic component and no treatment benefit from conservative therapy. This will be considered as protocol deviation. However, the patient's follow up is recorded and data are available for analyses as intention to treat. Surgery on Demand: if necessary local therapy on demand
