The SOUND Randomized Control Trial: Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy vs No Axillary Surgery in Patients With Small Breast Cancer

Time: 4:00 pm PT, 7:00 pm ET, 6:00 pm CT, 5:00 pm MT

Topic: Optimising adjuvant therapy in older women with low-risk breast cancer.” led by Dr. Icro Meattini, the PI of the EUROPA Trial.

Date: Wednesday, May 28, 2025

Time: 8:00–9:00 AM EDT 

The EUROPA trial randomized older patients (> 70 years) with T1N0, Luminal A-like tumors to either partial breast irradiation-alone or endocrine therapy-alone. Patients who had radiation therapy only had better health related quality of life and fewer adverse events (full paper attached).

The session will explore:

• Rationale for treatment de-escalation in older patients.
• Comparison of endocrine therapy vs. radiotherapy.
• Evaluation of recent and ongoing studies, including EUROPA Phase 3.
• Emerging radiotherapy strategies (e.g., hypofractionation, partial breast irradiation).
• Importance of patient-centred, multidisciplinary decision-making.
