Yakup Ergün, Medical Oncologist at Antalya City Hospital, shared on X:

“Outcomes and Trends in Axillary Management of Stage cN3b Breast Cancer Patients

– Study of 4,236 women with cN3b disease (2012–2021) from NCDB.

– SLNB rates increased from 8.5% (2012) to 35.1% (2021).

– nodal PCR was achieved in 24.9% of patients.

– No significant survival difference between SLNB and ALND in nPCR patients.

Axillary de-escalation strategies may be considered in well-selected cN3b patients with nPCR?”
