[The major debate: Micrometastases and breast cancer - To be for nodal irradiation].
Le grand débat : cancers du sein pN1mi – pour l’irradiation des aires ganglionnaires
Résumé
Standard of care in breast cancer management is well-defined. However, some gray zones still exist, in particular adjuvant radiotherapy indications in case of pN1mi breast cancer. Here we propose to define their prognosis, to underpin the benefit of adjuvant treatments in such patients' management and to define lymphedema risk, which is the most common late side effect of locoregional treatments.
