Enrollment

800 participants

Start Date

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The VENUS trial is a prospective, multicenter, noninferiority, randomized, controlled clinical trial that compares sentinel lymph node biopsy versus no axillary surgery in women with early breast cancer (tumor \<5cm) and node-negative after clinical palpation and axillary ultrasound.


Eligibility

Sex: FEMALEMin Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study compares two approaches to armpit (axillary) surgery in women with early breast cancer: the standard sentinel lymph node biopsy versus no axillary surgery at all. The goal is to see if skipping the armpit surgery entirely is safe for women whose cancer appears not to have spread to the lymph nodes. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a woman aged 18 or older - You have confirmed invasive breast cancer (by biopsy) - Your tumor is smaller than 5 cm (T1 or T2 stage) - Your armpit lymph nodes appear cancer-free on physical exam and ultrasound (or biopsy if ultrasound looked suspicious) - You are planning breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a history of any prior invasive cancer - Your lymph nodes are confirmed to contain cancer - You have distant metastases - You received chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
