Patients with clinically node\u2010negative disease were identified, and eligibility according to the SOUND and INSEMA inclusion criteria was determined. Clinicopathologic characteristics were compared between trial\u2010eligible real\u2010world patients and published trial populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 2787 consecutive patients with clinically negative axilla were included; 71% (1982\/2787) fulfilled the INSEMA and 52% (1461\/2787) the SOUND trial eligibility criteria. Patients eligible in the SOUND trial were largely representative of real\u2010world patients in terms of clinicopathologic characteristics. In contrast, the INSEMA trial appeared more selected, with a higher proportion of biologically favorable tumors. Both trials predominantly included patients with small (&lt;\u20092\u2009cm) luminal breast cancers. Patients with larger tumors and more aggressive subtypes were underrepresented.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The SOUND and INSEMA eligibility criteria are broadly applicable to real\u2010world patients with small luminal breast cancers. However, differences between trial populations and real\u2010world patients highlight the need for careful consideration when applying SLNB omission beyond these lower\u2010risk subgroups.<\/jats:p>\n
