How do you weigh upfront nodal burden when deciding to omit PMRT in a patient with cN1, ypN0 disease after neoadjuvant chemo, mastectomy and ALND?
For example, if the patient had several abnormal nodes radiographically vs 1-2.
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Community Practice
Pre-chemo imaging if it shows 4 or more abnormal nodes (N2) then would offer RNI irrespective of response.
