Overview

For newly diagnosed ISLNM breast cancer, on the basis of effective treatment of the new auxiliary system, the optimal local treatment of the supraclavicular region remains controversial. Although guidelines such as NCCN recommend simple clavicular radiation therapy, there are studies suggesting that supraclavicular lymph node dissection can improve prognosis, and many hospitals in China are still accustomed to performing supraclavicular lymph node dissection. Therefore, ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node dissection is the first time to diagnose ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastasis of breast cancer. The effectiveness and safety of (stage IIIc) treatment still require prospective research to confirm.This project is a prospective, multicenter, non-interference real world study. In the real world study, the investigators evaluated the efficacy and safety of ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node dissection in the treatment of initially diagnosed ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastasis breast cancer patients.

The main endpoint of the study was recurrence free survival on the ipsilateral clavicle. The secondary study endpoint is disease-free survival; Ipsilateral supraclavicular relapse-free survival; Rregional lymph node relapse-free survival; Overall survival; Security; The incidence of upper limb lymphedema; Patient's quality of life.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Female patients aged ≤ 80 years old.
  2. ECOG score 0-1 points;
  3. Breast cancer meets the following criteria: histologically diagnosed as invasive breast cancer, known ER, PR, HER2, KI67 status, pathologically diagnosed as ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastasis (both cytology and histopathology);
  4. Estimated patient survival time exceeding three months;
  5. No obvious contraindications for surgery or radiotherapy;
  6. The researcher judged that they were able to comply with the research protocol.
  7. Those who participate in other clinical trials (including intervention or non intervention studies) at the same time and are judged by the researchers not to affect the research protocol can be enrolled normally.
  8. Voluntarily participate in this study and sign an informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Stage IV (metastatic) breast cancer;
  2. Bilateral breast cancer;
  3. Received radiotherapy and surgical treatment (excluding local puncture) for ipsilateral supraclavicular metastatic lymph nodes before enrollment;
  4. History of breast cancer or other malignant tumors, but excluding cured cervical carcinoma in situ, skin basal cell carcinoma or skin squamous cell carcinoma;
  5. Individuals with severe primary diseases such as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, liver, and kidney that are difficult to tolerate surgery or radiation therapy;
  6. Having a history of immunodeficiency, including HIV testing positive, or having other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or having a history of organ transplantation;
  7. Suffering from severe comorbidities or other comorbidities that may interfere with the planned treatment, or any other circumstances in which the researcher deems the patient unsuitable to participate in this study.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
