Axillary staging is an important prognostic factor in breast cancer, being sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) the gold standard staging method in early stages. However, in clinically node positive (cN+) patients who converted to clinically node-negative (cN0) after primary systemic therapy (PST) the axillary staging method during surgery remains controversial. There are at least three validated methods: SLNB, targeted axillary dissection (TAD) and marking axillary nodes with radioactive iodine seeds (MARI) procedure.

The aim of this study is to analyse the safety and satisfaction of women included in the PreQ-20 trial who underwent NAC and who underwent mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with prepectoral polyurethane implants.
Material And Methods: The patients included in the study belong to the prospective study PreQ-20.
Introduction: In recent years, mastectomy and reconstruction techniques have evolved towards less aggressive procedures, improving the satisfaction and quality of life of women. For this reason, mastectomy has become a valid option for both women with breast cancer and high-risk women. The objective of this study is to analyze the safety of mastectomy and immediate prepectoral reconstruction with polyurethane implant in women with breast cancer and risk reduction.

Various studies have confirmed the oncological safety of sparing mastectomies and immediate reconstruction. The objective of this study is to analyze the incidence of locoregional relapses of this procedure and its impact on reconstruction and overall survival.
