Regional node irradiation in breast cancer improves overall survivalThe effect of irradiation of regional nodes in patients with stage I, II, or III breast cancer on overall survival is very limited, according to a study.ONA

Oncology Group (ACOSOG) Z0011 trial, a phase III non-inferiority trial sought to determine the effects of an axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with one to two positive sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) from breast cancer.1...

Patients who are diagnosed with breastcancerthat has already spread to regionallymph nodesmay receiveneoadjuvant chemotherapy; in some cases, neoadjuvant therapy completely eradicates the cancer from the lymph nodes. Currently, there is no established standard of care for how these patients should be tr...
Irradiation of the axillary, supraclavicular and/or internal mammary (regional) lymph nodes is part of adjuvant therapy for breast cancer. This approach has been examined over many decades, with the aim of combating common lymph-node metastases. Initial results were disappointing, and non-cancer-rel...

Cells derived from 279 regional lymph nodes (RLNCs) of 62 women with primary breast cancer when evaluated immediately after removal were found to vary significantly relative to their uptake of tritiated thymidine (3HT). The variation was related to the position of nodes in the axilla. Uptake by...
Patients with breast relapses were generally treated with salvage mastectomy, and patients with chest wall or regional nodal relapses were treated with radiation to the chest wall, regional nodes, or both. Systemic therapy at the time of local-regional relapse was highly individualized, ranging ...
