Axillary Lymph Node Status After Completion of Preoperative Neoadjuvant Systemic Chemotherapy in Patients
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Invasive Breast Cancer
In brief
The purpose of the present proposed clinical trial will be to assess the utility of SLN mapping and biopsy for predicting the final axillary status after completion of preoperative neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy in patients who had biopsy-proven positive axillary lymph nodes at initial presentation
