Brief Summary  

Rationale: Axillary nodal status in patients with carcinoma of the breast is one of the strongest prognostic factors and also an important determinant on decisions for adjuvant treatment. The role of isolated tumor cells (ITCs) and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and their clinical significance remains to be established. Studies have shown that tumor manipulation causes an increase in the CTCs. A population-based study from Denmark has shown an increase in the ITCs in the axillary nodes secondary to tumor handling. Prospective data on the same are lacking. We aim to study if tumor manipulation causing increased ITC.

 

Methodology: The trial is a Randomized controlled trial in patients of breast carcinoma presenting with clinically negative nodes, eligible for breast conservation surgery. Patients will be randomized into two groups, namely axilla first or primary first.

The protocol would not impact the overall treatment plan of the patients, or have a bearing on the cost of treatment. The detection of the ITCs would require additional immune-histochemistry studies, for which funding would be required
