SLNB group: After the completion of neoadjuvant therapy, axillary SLNB should be performed first before breast surgery; If the frozen pathology SLNs are negative, ALND will no longer be performed; If frozen pathological SLNs are positive, ALND should be performed directly; If frozen pathology is false negative.
Study summary
SLNB has been recommended by domestic and foreign guidelines for patients with initial cN1 and NAC descending to ycN0. However, the best technical path is still not very clear at present, and the long-term tumor safety data is still insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to further explore the optimal technical pathway and long-term tumor safety for SLNB in patients with initial cN1 and NAC downgrading to ycN0 in the real world.This study will evaluate the optimized technical pathway and long-term tumor safety of SLNB in patients with initial cN1 and NAC downgrading to ycN0 in real-world studies.
