Summary
The purpose of this research study is to determine how feasible and accurate identifying and removing specific lymph nodes in the axilla (armpit) after neoadjuvant systemic therapy is when patients present with breast cancer that has spread to lymph nodes in the axilla. The specific lymph nodes removed would be determined at the time of diagnosis. If a biopsy proves that cancer has spread to a lymph node, a titanium clip will placed in it to mark it for future removal. That lymph node will be removed after systemic therapy and compared with the rest of the lymph nodes removed from that region.
