De-escalation of radiation therapy in patients with stage I, node-negative, HER2-positive breast cancer

Abstract In the modern era, highly effective anti-HER2 therapy is associated with low local-regional recurrence (LRR) rates for early-stage HER2+ breast cancer raising the question of whether local therapy de-escalation by radiation omission is possible in patients with small-node negative tumors tr...
