Funded Activity Summary

SNAC1 compares two operations for assessing cancer spread to the lymph nodes in women with early breast cancer: 1) axillary clearance and 2)sentinel node biopsy. Axillary clearance involves removal of most lymph nodes in the armpit. In sentinel node biopsy only a few lymph nodes most closely related to the breast cancer are removed. The trial will determine if sentinel node biopsy reduces lymphoedema and gives equivalent cure rates. If it does, then it should become standard practice.
