Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

SLNB has been recommended by domestic and foreign guidelines for patients with initial cN1 and NAC descending to ycN0. However, the best technical path is still not very clear at present, and the long-term tumor safety data is still insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to further explore the optimal technical pathway and long-term tumor safety for SLNB in patients with initial cN1 and NAC downgrading to ycN0 in the real world.This study will evaluate the optimized technical pathway and long-term tumor safety of SLNB in patients with initial cN1 and NAC downgrading to ycN0 in real-world studies.

SLNB has been recommended by domestic and foreign guidelines for patients with initial cN1 and NAC descending to ycN0. However, the best technical path is still not very clear at present, and the long-term tumor safety data is still insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to further explore the optimal technical pathway and long-term tumor safety for SLNB in patients with initial cN1 and NAC downgrading to ycN0 in the real world.This study will evaluate the optimized technical pathway and long-term tumor safety of SLNB in patients with initial cN1 and NAC downgrading to ycN0 in real-world studies. The main endpoint of the study was axillary recurrence free survival. The secondary study endpoints were regional lymph node recurrence free survival, disease-free survival, overall survival, incidence of postoperative upper limb lymphedema, and patient quality of life.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

SLNB group

Standard sentinel lymph node biopsy group, if frozen pathology SLNs are negative, no ALND will be performed; If frozen pathological SLNs are positive, ALND should be performed directly; If the frozen pathology is false negative, it is recommended to complete ALND within 12 weeks after SLNB surgery.

SLNB group

Intervention Type OTHER

After the completion of neoadjuvant therapy, axillary SLNB should be performed first before breast surgery; If the frozen pathology SLNs are negative, ALND will no longer be performed; If frozen pathological SLNs are positive, ALND should be performed directly; If frozen pathology is false negative.
