How do you treat an early stage breast cancer with cN0 but could not undergo a SLNB?
Would you recommend any imaging of the axilla before lumpectomy? Would you recommend standard breast fields vs high tangents to cover the low axilla?
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Community Practice
I almost always treat these patients with high tangents including lymph node levels 1 and 2 in the tangential beam.
There are multiple studies showing excellent regional control with this approach.
