Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy and Primary Tumor Gene Expression Profiling in Finding Axillary Lymph Node Metastases in Women Who Have Received Neoadjuvant Therapy for Stage II, Stage III, or Stage IV Breast Cancer

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer

In brief

RATIONALE: Sentinel lymph node biopsy and gene expression profiling of the primary breast tumor may help determine if tumor cells have spread to the axillary lymph nodes and help doctors plan more effective surgery for breast cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well sentinel lymph node biopsy and primary tumor gene expression profiling work in finding lymph node metastases in women who have received neoadjuvant therapy for stage II, stage III, or stage IV breast cancer.
