Omission of radiation therapy following breast conservation in older (≥70 years) women with T1-2N0 triple-negative breast cancer.

This investigation, the largest known such study to date, observed that omission of adjuvant RT for elderly women with T1-2N0 TNBC was associated with poorer OS; this was observed across a range of age groups, as well as following stratification by T stage and chemotherapy usage. Although these results do not imply causation, caution must be exercised when considering omission of adjuvant RT in node-negative TNBC patients.
