IIT2023-09-Chung-UpfrontTAD: Upfront TAD/SNB in Patients With Clinical T1-2N0 ER+ Her2- Breast Cancer With Ultrasound Detected Nodal Metastases

The purpose of the study is to determine the recurrence rates and survival of patients with clinical T1-2N0 ER+/Her2- invasive breast cancer who have biopsy proven image detected nodal disease treated with upfront lumpectomy or mastectomy with TAD followed by adjuvant therapy. This is a prospective, single arm phase II clinical trial. Patients will be screened and enrolled per eligibility criteria. Patient, tumor, and treatment data will be documented.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

Time Frame: 5 Years
Regional recurrence rate is defined as the percentage of patients who experience a regional recurrence during follow-up period.
5 Years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Local recurrence rate
Time Frame: 5 Years
Local recurrence rate is defined as the percentage of subjects who experience a local recurrence during follow-up period.

Breast cancer specific survival (BCSS) rate is defined as the percentage of subjects who have not died from breast cancer during follow-up period
5 Years
Overall survival (OS)
Time Frame: 5 Years
Overall survival (OS) is defined as the length of time from targeted axillary dissection (TAD) that the subjects are still alive.
