NCT ID NCT06704945
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether women with breast cancer who have no signs of cancer in their armpit lymph nodes after chemotherapy can safely skip armpit surgery. About 464 participants will be randomly assigned to either have or skip the surgery. The goal is to see if skipping surgery is just as good at preventing cancer from coming back over 5 years.
