In my opinion, it is very reasonable to consider RNI in a high risk node negative patient. High risk N0 patients were included in MA.20 and EORTC 22922 and derived sim...

Also, there is a PMRT study from Helsinki that included node neg cases that also showed a benefit of RT, but the study was p...
