Impact of an In-Visit Decision Aid on Uniformed Decision Making for Contralateral Prophylactic Mastectomy
Aims: To determine whether using an online decision intervention directly with patients will increase patient knowledge resulting in fewer patients making uninformed decisions to undergo contralateral prophylactic mastectomy.

S1418/BR006: A Randomized Phase III Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of MK-3475 (Pembrolizumab) as Adjuvant Therapy for Triple Receptor-Negative Breast Cancer with > 1 cm Residual Invasive Cancer or Positive Lymph Nodes (ypN1mi, ypN1-3) After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

A011202: A Randomized Phase III Trial Comparing Axillary Lymph Node Dissection to Axillary Radiation in Breast Cancer Patients (cT1-3N1) who have Positive Sentinel Lymph Node Disease After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
Aims: This randomized phase III trial studies axillary lymph node dissection to see how well it works compared to axillary radiation therapy in treating patients with node-positive breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery. Lymph node dissection may remove cancer cells that have spread to nearby lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. This study will evaluate whether radiation therapy is as effective as lymph node dissection.
