Objectives:
At the end of this activity, participants will be able to:
  • Discuss the axillary management options for patients with T1/T2 cN1 ER+ breast cancer.
  • Understand the literature supporting the management options for patients with T1/T2 cN1 ER+ breast cancer.
Description:
For patients with ER+ breast cancer axillary management can be challenging. Patients undergoing upfront surgery with BCS with 1 or 2 positive SLNs can be candidates for omission of ALND. However, if treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, can ALND be omitted? This webinar will debate management of the axilla for ER+ breast cancer in this scenario.
