Study Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying surgery to remove the sentinel lymph node and axillary lymph nodes after chemotherapy in treating women with stage II, stage IIIA, or stage IIIB breast cancer.

Primary Outcome

False negative rate (FNR) (percentage) for sentinel lymph node (SLN) surgery after chemotherapy when at least 2 SLNs were excised in women initially presenting with biopsy-proven cN1 breast cancer, defined as the number of patients with no positive lymph nodes by SLN and with at least one positive lymph node by axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) divided by the total number of patients initially presenting with biopsy-proven cN1 breast cancer with at least one positive lymph node by SLN or ALN

Conditions Studied

Interventions

  • PROCEDURE therapeutic conventional surgery
  • DRUG systemic chemotherapy
  • PROCEDURE axillary lymph node dissection
