AI Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the effectiveness of an axillary surgical approach on overall survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer, a condition deemed incurable.
- Despite the evaluation, results revealed no significant link between the axillary surgical approach and survival rates for these patients.
- The study concluded that further research, particularly randomized clinical trials, is necessary to determine the long-term effects of locoregional therapies in this patient population.
Article Abstract
A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to evaluate the benefit of an axillary surgical approach on overall survival and secondarily of breast surgery amongst patients with metastatic breast cancer which is considered to be an incurable disease. However, an axillary surgical approach showed no association with overall survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer. The true impact of locoregional therapies on long-term outcomes remains unknown, and randomised clinical trials are needed.
