Summary

This trial aims to understand how often breast cancer comes back and how long patients live after treatment. They will study patients with a specific type of breast cancer who have lymph node involvement. The patients will undergo

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 45 or older with a specific type of breast cancer (ER+/Her2- invasive) that's early stage (T1-2N0) and has spread to the axillary lymph nodes as confirmed by ultrasound-guided biopsy. Participants must be able to give informed consent and follow study requirements.
What is being tested?
The study is testing if treating patients with upfront lumpectomy or mastectomy followed by Targeted Axillary Dissection (TAD) and Sentinel Node Biopsy (SNB), then adjuvant therapy, affects recurrence rates and survival in this particular breast cancer population.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include complications from surgery such as pain, infection, or lymphedema; radiation therapy could cause skin irritation, fatigue, or more rarely long-term tissue damage.
