NCT ID NCT07283718
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how the spread of breast cancer to lymph nodes under the arm relates to long-term outcomes. Researchers are following 2,467 patients to see if certain patterns of lymph node involvement are linked to cancer returning or survival. The goal is to better understand which patients may need more or less aggressive treatment.
