Is a completion axillary dissection required for a patient with clinical N+ disease who had a complete clinical response in the axilla to neoadjuvant systemic therapy but is found to ypN+ disease on sentinel node biopsy?
Is axillary radiotherapy an acceptable alternative?
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Community Practice
I would favor dissection as that is SOC for now.We have selectively done RT but follow up short and most patients had low volume disease Ling et al., PMID 32280815
