About this trial
The aim of this study is to investigate whether subjects with breast cancer that have certain favorable features, after performing the surgery and radiation, the chemotherapy can be safely omitted in the treatment. In addition, the investigation looks at whether the omission of chemotherapy ensures a better quality of life. Participants decide, in consultation with their treating physician, whether they choose to be treated with adjuvant chemotherapy or not.
