Could some breast cancer patients avoid surgery?

NCT ID NCT02945579

Summary

This study is testing if breast cancer patients who respond exceptionally well to initial drug therapy can safely skip surgery or radiation. It is for women with early-stage breast cancer where a special biopsy shows no cancer remains after the drug treatment. The goal is to see if avoiding these procedures is safe and effective for controlling the cancer long-term.
