Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Consecutive women and men aged 18 years or older with a diagnosis of stage I-III breast cancer (any histological and receptor subtype)

  • For Clinically Node positive (cN+) at presentation: Biopsy proven confirmation is required. Staging techniques include: SLNB with dual mapping or targeted axillary dissection (Targeted Axillary Dissection, TAD: imaging-guided localization of sampled node in combination with Sentinel Lymph Node procedure with or without dual mapping) or the Marking Axillary Lymph Nodes with Iodine Seeds (MARI) procedure
  • Completed neoadjuvant chemotherapy
  • Residual micrometastases detected on SLNB or TAD or MARI (on frozen section or final pathology)
  • Concomitant presence of Isolated Tumor Cells (ITCs) and micrometastases in other sentinel lymph nodes is allowed
  • Received axillary treatment with completion axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), axillary Radiotherapy (ART), both or none
  • At least 1-year follow-up (inclusion should end in May 2023)
  • Had surgery at any time point until May 2023 at the latest
  • Prior history of stage I-III (not stage IV) breast cancer is allowed

Exclusion

  • Did not undergo SLNB/TAD/MARI (e.g., went straight to ALND or ART)
  • Presence of ITCs alone or macrometastases on the sentinel nodes (or TAD nodes or MARI node)
  • Stage IV disease at presentation
  • Inflammatory breast cancer at presentation
  • Neoadjuvant endocrine therapy
  • Micrometastases detected by One-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA)
