Loco-Regional Irradiation for Patients With Biopsy-Proven Axillary Node Involvement Who Become Node-Negative After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Featuring Eleftherios Mamounas, MD

12/28/2023

Eleftherios Mamounas, MD, Orlando Health Cancer Institute, Florida, discussed primary results from the NRG Oncology/NSABP B-51/RTOG 1304 study. Results indicated that adjuvant regional nodal irradiation including the chest wall after mastectomy and with whole breast irradiation after breast conserving surgery did not improve survival outcomes among patients with biopsy-proven axillary node involvement that convert to node-negative after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

These results were first presented at the 2023 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.
