Brief summary

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.

Detailed description

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.

Interventions

PROCEDURESubclavian lymph node dissection+radiotherapy

The patient grouping is determined jointly by the researchers and participants, and patients in Group A are selected for supraclavicular lymph node dissection and radiotherapy.

PROCEDURESimple clavicular region radiotherapy

If the patient chooses Group B treatment plan, they will receive simple clavicle area radiotherapy.

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.

Intraclavicular recurrence free survival in group A patients5th year after surgeryThe time from surgery to ipsilateral supraclavicular fossa recurrence or last follow-up.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Intraclavicular recurrence free survival in group B patients5th year after surgeryThe time from surgery to ipsilateral supraclavicular fossa recurrence or last follow-up
Regional lymph node recurrence free survival in group A/B patients5th year after surgeryThe time from surgery to the occurrence of regional lymph node recurrence, metastasis, or last follow-up
Overall survival of patients in Group A/B5th year after surgeryThe time from surgery to patient death or last follow-up
Disease-Free Survival5th year after surgeryThe time from surgery to the occurrence of recurrence, metastasis, or last follow-up.
The incidence of upper limb lymphedema in group A/B patients at 2 years after surgery2th year after surgeryMeasure the circumference using the circumference method, with the styloid process of the ulna as the starting point, spaced 10cm apart and measured up to 40cm.
Patient's quality of life2th year after surgeryEvaluate using the EORTC-QLQ-C30 V3 (European Organization of Research and treatment of Cancer-Questionnaire of Life Quality-C30 Version 3)scale.EORTC-QLQ-C30 V3 is the core scale of the quality of life measurement system developed by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) for cancer patients. The original scores of each item in the scale need to be converted into standardized scores ranging from 0 to 100 using linear formulas. The higher the scores of each functional dimension, the better the functional status; The higher the score of the symptom scale and individual items, the more obvious the symptoms and the poorer the quality of life.
