To evaluate the role of chemotherapy in stage IA triple-negative breast cancer, we conducted a retrospective population-based study including 8601 patients. The use of chemotherapy significantly increased from 2010 to 2019 in patients with T1b and T1c tumors (p = 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). Receipt of chemotherapy was associated with improved breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS, adjusted hazard ratio = 0.70; p = 0.006), particularly in patients with T1c tumors (5-year BCSS 94.5% vs. 91.2%).
