Omitting completion axillary lymph node dissection does not increase risk for death for patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer, but it does significantly improve arm distress.Data from ...

The largest randomized trial of its kind to date found noninferior survival and better arm morbidity among patients with breast cancer who did not undergo completion axillary lymph node dissection.

Final results from a landmark EORTC randomized trial with more than 20 years of follow-up show that irradiation of the ...

Many people with breast cancer can safely avoid chemotherapy with the use of a gene test, potentially sparing them unnecessary side effects without increasing the risk of the cancer returning, a large ...

Prosigna identified a large high-clinical-risk subgroup with minimal chemotherapy benefit, estimated to avert at most two recurrences per 100 patients treated. Enrollment broadened prior assay use by ...

Scientists developed a DNA or gene test that can differentiate between patients who are likely to benefit from the treatment and those who are not, a clinical trial has shown.
