* For Clinically Node positive (cN+) at presentation: Biopsy proven confirmation is required. Staging techniques include: SLNB with dual mapping or targeted axillary dissection (Targeted Axillary Dissection, TAD: imaging-guided localization of sampled node in combination with Sentinel Lymph Node procedure with or without dual mapping) or the Marking Axillary Lymph Nodes with Iodine Seeds (MARI) procedure
* Completed neoadjuvant chemotherapy
* Residual micrometastases detected on SLNB or TAD or MARI (on frozen section or final pathology)
* Concomitant presence of Isolated Tumor Cells (ITCs) and micrometastases in other sentinel lymph nodes is allowed
* Received axillary treatment with completion axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), axillary Radiotherapy (ART), both or none
* At least 1-year follow-up (inclusion should end in May 2023)
* Had surgery at any time point until May 2023 at the latest
* Prior history of stage I-III (not stage IV) breast cancer is allowed
Minimum age
18 Years

Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
