Description
Two trials suggest many early breast cancers can skip armpit node surgery, but trial patients may not match clinic reality. Tia Puiras, Eeva Juhanoja, and Anselm Tamminen checked that match in a 2026 study. Records covered all early breast cancer patients at one university hospital from 2010 to 2018. Each patient's fit for the SOUND and INSEMA trial rules was scored.
Of nearly twenty-eight hundred patients with quiet armpits, about seven in ten fit one trial and half fit the other. One trial's members matched real patients well on clinic traits. The other leaned toward gentler tumors. Both trials mostly held small, hormone-type cancers. Bigger and harder tumors were scarce in both.
