NRG Oncology study shows the addition of regional nodal irradiation does not decrease rates of invasive breast cancer recurrence in patients whose axillary nodes convert from positive to negative following neoadjuvant chemotherapy

A recent NRG-NSABP B-51/RTOG 1304 clinical study found that regional nodal irradiation (RNI) does not decrease the rates of invasive breast cancer recurrence in patients whose positive axillary nodes convert to negative following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The study enrolled 1,641 patients and demonstrated no significant benefit from RNI.
