St Gallen International expert consensus Ann Oncol 2013 Post-mastectomy radiotherapy was considered indicated by almost all Panel members for patients with four or more positive nodes, while the majority would not advise postmastectomy irradiation for those with one to three positive nodes, except in the presence of adverse tumour pathology. The Panel was content to omit post-mastectomy radiotherapy with pathologic uninvolved nodes even when fewer than eight nodes had been examined and if the tumour was 5 cm. Two-thirds felt that radiation therapy should be given after mastectomy if positive sentinel nodes were not followed by axillary dissection. Other indications recommended by the Panel for postmastectomy radiotherapy included positive deep margins and, for two-thirds of the Panel, tumours greater than 5 cm regardless of the nodal status. However, the Panel strongly rejected needing radiotherapy solely based on Grade 3, lymphovascular invasion, HER2-positive status or triple negative disease. Areas to be irradiated following mastectomy and axillary dissection should not be influenced by any neoadjuvant systemic therapy or by the intrinsic subtype of the tumour. There was no clear agreement about the necessity to include the supraclavicular fossa, though trials have routinely included this area. Most Panel members would not include the internal mammary nodes and a strong majority felt that the axilla should not be radiated after dissection.

Selective Use of Postoperative Radiotherapy after Mastectomy (SUPREMO) Trial a Phase III randomised trial to assess the role of adjuvant chest wall irradiation in intermediate risk breast cancer after mastectomy Inclusion - pt1-2n1m0, pt2n0m0 if grade III and/or LVI, pt3n0m0. - Stage II histologically confirmed unilateral breast cancer following neoadjuvant systemic therapy and mastectomy, if the original clinical stage was ct1-2cn0-1m0 or ct1-2pn1(sn)m0 and with the following (yptnm) stages after neoadjuvant systemic therapy: ypt1-2n1m0, ypt2n0m0 if grade III and/or LVI, ypt0-1n0 or ypt0pn1, ypt2n0, if the original clinical stage was ct3n0. ypt3n0m0, if original clinical staging was ct1-3n0m0 or ct1-3pn0(sn)m0
Selective Use of Postoperative Radiotherapy after Mastectomy (SUPREMO) Trial a Phase III randomised trial to assess the role of adjuvant chest wall irradiation in intermediate risk breast cancer after mastectomy - Randomization 1) no irradiation 2) chest wall irradiation with no regional radiotherapy - started in June 2006 - Close in April 2013-1,600 patients recruitment
Conclusion - All pn1 mastectomy patient should not need to PMRT. - Which patients need to PMRT in pn1 patients? still controversial low risk group: no PMRT high risk group: PMRT - SUPREMO trial will give us some answers, but not definitive guideline. - Prospective randomized trial should be needed according to risk group.
