Trial summary

This study aimed to determine whether sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) could be a reliable option for evaluating nodal status in patients who had responded well to neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NAST), even if they had initially presented with a high nodal burden. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Outcomes of Sentinel Node Biopsy According to MRI Response in an Association With the Subtypes in cN1-3 Breast Cancer After Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy

This study aimed to determine whether sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) could be a reliable option for evaluating nodal status in patients who had responded well to neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NAST), even if they had initially presented with a high nodal burden. The study investigated the outcomes of SLNB followed by axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in this patient population, taking into account the response to NAST and the breast cancer subtype.

Read the detailed description

To determine the feasibility of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in this study, the investigators evaluated the false-negative rate (FNR) of SLNB. The FNR was calculated as the number of patients with negative SLNs who had a residual disease in the rest of the axillary lymph nodes (ALNs) divided by the total number of patients with residual disease in either the SLNs, the rest of the ALNs, or both: FN/true-positive + FN. The investigators compared the FNR of the SLNB according to the radiologic response measured using breast MRI in each subtype. The investigators further evaluated the FNR in subgroups stratified by clinical nodal stage. Additionally, the investigators assessed additional metastatic ALNs in cases with 1-2 metastatic SLNs through the completion of ALN dissection.

  • Sentinel lymph node biopsy followed by axillary lymph node dissectionProcedure or surgery

    This is a retrospective study to determine the feasibility of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) after neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NAST) according to response to NAST and breast cancer subtypes. All patients received SLNB followed by axillary lymph node dissection after NAST.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Multicenter retrospective cohortThis study included patients diagnosed with breast cancer who received neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NAST) followed by curative surgery between January 2013 and December 2018. All patients were cN1-3 breast cancer at initial presentation confirmed by any imaging studies (either ultrasonography or MRI) or pathological examination using ultrasonography-guided needle biopsy of suspicious axillary lymph nodes. The clinical nodal stage was determined based on findings from physical examination, with imaging studies such as ultrasonography or MRI taken into account, according to the American Join Committee on Cancer guidelines (7th edition). In addition, all patients underwent sentinely lymph node biopsy (SLNB) followed by axillary lymph node dissection. SLNB was performed using a radioactive marker, blue dye, or both (dual tracers).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer and Breast MRI, run by Gangnam Severance Hospital.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

False negative rate of sentinel lymph node biopsy according to radiologic response stratified by brest cancer subtype (time frame: up to 1 month after the breast surgery). 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 22 Mar 2023.
