Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.We assume that cost effectiveness of total care offered to women of treated with level-1 will be lower as compared to cost effectiveness of women treated with complete ALND. 2.We hope that long term risk of lymphedema and arm morbidity will be less in women treated with level - 1 compared to complete axillary dissection. We also hope that local-regional (axillary) recurrence will be non-inferior to the patient undergoing complete ALND.Timepoint: 2 year | — |
