Summary
This study looked at 20 breast cancer patients with advanced lymph node involvement to see if a less extensive surgery (targeted axillary dissection) could accurately tell if cancer remained after chemotherapy. The goal was to find out if removing fewer lymph nodes is safe and reliable. The results help doctors understand how to better manage lymph node removal in future patients.
