As each of these therapeutic approaches has been deemed of low value deimplementation has varied significantly. This demonstrates that effective de-escalation in breast cancer surgery relies on more than the availability of data from randomized controlled trials and other high-quality evidence, but is also influenced by various stakeholders, social expectations, and environmental contexts.
