  • Ages 18 to 70 years
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All patients with clinically positive axilla will undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy. All patients with clinically node negativity (physical exam, USG, and/or MRI, PET-CT) after Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NAC) will be considered for SLNB with any technique (blue dye alone, radionuclide alone or both combined) and any breast surgery (mastectomy or breast conservation). PET-CT and MRI are not mandatory. PE and USG and/or MRI are preferred. At least, 2 sentinel lymph nodes will be obtained. Intraoperative evaluation of SLNs is recomended.

Who may be able to join

  • T0-4, N1-3, M0

Who cannot join

About this study

Official title: IS SENTINEL LYMPH NODE BIOPSY WITH RADIOTHERAPY ALONE WITHOUT AXILLARY LYMPH NODE DISSECTION SAFE FOLLOWING NEOADJUVANT CHEMOTHERAPY IN INITIALLY CLINICALLY AXILLA POSITIVE PATIENTS: NEOSENTITURK-TRIAL/MF-18-03

Omitting axilary lymph node dissection (ALND) following SLNB with residual cancer in patients with locally advanced disease after neoadjuvan chemotherapy (NAC) is still controversial. In this study, the investigators evaluated factors affecting local recurrence and outcome in patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC), who underwent sentinel lymph node (SLN) with or without ALND after NAC.

Read the detailed description

All patients with clinically positive axilla will undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Axillary fine needle aspiration biopsy or Trucut biopsy is mandatory.

All patients with clinically node negativity (physical exam, USG, and/or MRI, PET-CT) after Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NAC) will be considered for SLNB with any technique (blue dye alone, radionuclide alone or both combined) and any breast surgery (mastectomy or breast conservation). PET-CT and MRI are not mandatory. PE and USG and/or MRI are preferred. At least, 2 sentinel lymph nodes will be obtained. Intraoperative evaluation of SLNs is recommended.

All patients with clinally-negative axilla and underwent SLNB will be included into the study:

  1. SLNB (-) \& RT
  2. SLNB (+) \& RT
  3. SLNB (+) \& ALND \& RT Radiotherapy details will be announced as supplementary

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sentinel Lymph Node, run by Federation of Breast Diseases Societies at 3 sites in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Neslihan Cabioglu, Prof (+905325057724, ncabioglu@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Local recurrence free survival (time frame: January 2023). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Jan 2020.
