The main goal of this study is to determine the clinico-pathological factors that correlate non-sentinel lymph nodes (LNs) involvement in clinically node negative breast cancer (BC) patients with positive macrometastatic sentinel lymph node (SLN) in order to derive future evidence to define a subgroup where completion axillary lymph node dissection (cALND) might not be recommended.
