Background
Historical studies suggest no difference in disease outcome between neoadjuvant and adjuvant approaches in breast cancer. We hypothesize neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) may offer several benefits, possibly improving quality of life outcomes.Methods
Retrospective review of Tumor Registry data of breast cancer patients from 2011 to 2015. Pathologists reviewed cases from 2012 to 2013 to provide additional RCB (residual cancer burden) scores.Results
From 2011 to 2015 there were 2707 breast cancer cases and 455 patients received NCT. RCB score was documented in 348 with excellent outcome in 41% (pCR in 115 patients, 28 RCB I). There were 137 RCB II and 68 RCB III. Clinically positive nodes were present in 202 of 455 and 77 (38%) had clearance of nodal disease. Of these 45 had axillary dissections.Discussion
Neoadjuvant therapy was associated with excellent response rates. Thirty eight percent of patients with positive nodes converted to node negative although over 50% underwent axillary dissection. Higher utilization of NCT could decrease need for axillary dissection thereby lowering incidence of lymphedema and improving quality of life for survivors. 相似文献2.

Background
Schizophrenia has a powerful impact on the outcomes of treatment for physical disorders. This study sought to estimate how the presence of schizophrenia disrupts the course of diagnosis and initial treatment of breast cancer.Methods
We searched the Patient Treatment File, a comprehensive computer-based system for inpatient data in the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) medical system, to identify patients with codes for schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who later developed breast cancer. These data were augmented with chart-based clinical data.Results
There were 56 evaluable patients from 34 DVA facilities; 37 (66%) were female. Delay in diagnosis was common. The mean size of the primary tumor was 4 cm in those for whom these data were recorded. Delay in diagnosis was common and many never received the indicated surgery. Distant metastases were present on diagnosis in 12 (21%) and developed after diagnosis in 14 (25%) others, including 7 who inappropriately delayed or refused indicated surgery and 4 who inappropriately delayed or refused indicated neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Twelve verbally abused or physically attacked caregivers.Conclusions
Patients with schizophrenia who later develop breast cancer often deny they have cancer. They often have high-stage disease at diagnosis and often delay or refuse therapy. Breast-conserving multimodality therapy is often not feasible. 相似文献3.

Introduction
Carcinologic breast surgery is responsible of intermediary postoperative pain and needs 30% additional morphine. Now, morphine administration generates adverse effects. Publications about morphine saving effect of ketalar as antagonist of R-NMDA, administrated in perioperative increase are discussed.Objective
To evaluate the morphine saving effect of ketalar in carcinologic breast surgery.Patients and method
This phase III randomized and double-blind study includes 208 patients during 14 months. Surgery consisted in mastectomy with or without axillary lymph node dissection or lumpectomy with axillary lymph node dissection. Group K received ketalar at induction until the end of surgery. Group P (placebo) received physiologic serum in the same condition. During the postoperative first 48 h, morphine's consumption and EN are measured.Results
No significant difference between two groups was observed. The EN evaluation and morphine consumption remained the same in the two groups. Our results did not find any benefit with use of ketamine between axillary lymph node dissection and no axillary lymph node dissection group.Conclusion
Ketalar adjunction in our analgesic protocol did not induce significant morphine saving in carcinologic breast surgery. 相似文献4.
Background
Chemotherapy is emerging in the management of advanced penile cancer.Objective
To evaluate the therapeutic activity of taxanes (T) in combination with cisplatin-fluorouracil (PF) for salvage of primarily unresectable or relapsed nodal metastases from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the penis.Design, setting, and participants
Six consecutive patients were treated at Istituto Nazionale Tumori (INT), Milano, with neoadjuvant paclitaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (TPF) for unresectable (two cases) or recurrent nodal metastases (four cases) from SCC of the penis from 2004 to 2006. Informed consent was given by all patients.Intervention
Four courses of neoadjuvant TPF were to be given before salvage surgery.Measurements
Patients underwent computed tomography (CT) scans before starting chemotherapy, after two courses, and at the end of chemotherapy. Lymph node dissection was to be performed in responsive patients.Results and limitations
Two patients received more than four courses: Both had pathologically documented complete remission, and they are alive and disease free >2 yr after chemotherapy. The other four patients received only two courses. The first patient had subjective intolerance to TPF: He underwent early postchemotherapy radical lymph node dissection, which documented >90% tumour necrosis: He is alive and disease free 46 mo after starting chemotherapy. Of the other three patients, one was not responsive, changed therapy, and died within 4 mo. The other two had a clinical complete remission after the first two courses. Both refused to complete chemotherapy, and they relapsed after 10 and 4 mo. Limitations are the small number of patients and protocol violation in three cases.Conclusions
TPF chemotherapy for unresectable or recurrent nodal metastases from SCC of the penis is promising, and the standard four courses of therapy are to be completed in responding patients. A larger series is necessary to confirm preliminary results. 相似文献5.

Background
Modern surgical and pathological techniques can detect small-volume axillary metastases in breast cancer with unknown clinical significance.Methods
A retrospective database review from 1996 through 2004 identified all patients with immunohistochemical (IHC)-only sentinel node (IHC-SN) metastases and compared them with negative controls (Neg-SN).Results
When comparing the 232 IHC-SN patients with the 252 Neg-SN controls, the IHC-SN patients had larger tumors, more lobular histology, a higher grade, and more HER2/neu positivity. They also received more systemic therapy. With a median follow-up of 5 years, there were no differences in recurrence-free survival or overall survival. In 123 IHC-SN patients treated with axillary dissection (axillary lymph node dissection), 16% had positive non-SLNs. Patients with positive non-SLNs tended to have worse outcomes.Conclusions
IHC-only sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastases were associated with worse prognostic features and higher rates of systemic therapy. However, no outcomes differences were noted. 相似文献6.

Background
Intraoperative identification of sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastases in breast cancer patients results in synchronous axillary lymph node dissection. We examined the effect of false-negative SLN biopsy on breast cancer treatments and recurrence rate.Methods
Patient and tumor characteristics, intraoperative and final SLN biopsy results, and treatments of patients with and without recurrence were compared.Results
Recurrence rates for patients with true-positive SLN biopsy (9%) were significantly higher than rates for false-negative SLN biopsy patients (2%). Recurrence rates were significantly higher for patients with primary tumors greater than 2 cm, positive lymph nodes greater than 2 mm, and tumors with negative hormone receptors, and varied with treatment extent.Conclusions
Patients with greater amounts of disease in the breast and axilla required more treatment and had a higher recurrence rate. False-negative SLN evaluation occurred more commonly in patients with less lymph node metastasis and was not associated with an increased recurrence rate. 相似文献7.

Background
The incidence of all-location regional recurrence after sentinel lymph node biopsy is not well documented. This study attempts to identify risk factors.Methods
A prospectively maintained database was queried to identify patients with a regional recurrence of breast cancer after a first operation for invasive unilateral breast cancer. Patients with regional recurrence were compared with those alive and disease free at 5 years.Results
Twenty-one of 1,060 patients (2%) experienced a regional recurrence. Most patients (95%) underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy as their axillary staging. Those with regional recurrences had larger tumors (P < .001), higher stage disease (P < .001), more estrogen receptor– and triple-negative breast cancers (P < .001), and more positive lymph nodes (P = .007). Mastectomy (P = .001) and receipt of neoadjuvant and/or chemotherapy (P < .001) were more common among those with regional recurrences.Conclusions
Regional recurrence of breast cancer occurs infrequently. Risk factors include high-risk cancers, higher stage at presentation, nodal involvement, and need for therapies reflecting higher risk biology. 相似文献8.

Background
Neoadjuvant therapy is important in the treatment of advanced breast cancer.Methods
Postoperative complications in neoadjuvant patients were analyzed.Results
One hundred forty patients underwent 148 breast cancer surgeries after neoadjuvant therapy: 28% breast-conserving therapy procedures, 36% mastectomies, 28% mastectomies with immediate reconstruction, and 8% mastectomies with delayed reconstruction. Forty-seven patients (34%) suffered 59 complications: 18% of those undergoing breast-conserving therapy, 30% of those undergoing mastectomy, 44% of those undergoing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction, and 67% of those undergoing mastectomy with delayed reconstruction. Major complications occurred in 18% of patients. Skin loss occurred in 6% of patients. One patient had partial nipple necrosis. Three patients suffered implant loss. One patient had deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap loss. Eleven hematomas and 5 infectious complications required reoperation.Conclusions
Surgery after neoadjuvant therapy is safe, but careful counseling is warranted given that 18% of patients experienced major complications. Complications rates are higher with reconstruction, but feared complications of skin, nipple, implant, or flap loss were infrequent. 相似文献9.

BACKGROUND
The use of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients presenting with clinically positive lymph nodes remains controversial.Methods
A computer-aided search of the literature regarding SLNB in clinically node-positive breast cancer treated with NAC was carried out to identify the false negative rate (FNR), sentinel lymph node identification rate (IR), and axillary pathological complete response (pCR).Results
Nineteen articles were used in the analysis yielding 3,398 patients. The pooled estimate of the FNR was 13% and that of the IR was 91%. The adjusted pCR rate was 47%. A trend toward significance was observed with only clinical stage N1 (cN1) disease whereby clinical stage N1 was associated with an increased pCR rate when compared to N2 or N3 disease (P = .06).Conclusions
SLNB after NAC in biopsy-proven node-positive patients results in reasonably acceptable FNR and IR, making it a valid alternative management strategy to axillary dissection. More refined patient selection and optimal techniques can improve the FNR and IR in this patient population. 相似文献10.

Background
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) without axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in SLN negative patients is a standard of care for most breast cancer patients. SLNB for axillary staging after primary systemic therapy (PST) is still under discussion because of possibly reduced accuracy, while data are lacking. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of SLNB after PST.Materials and Methods
A total of 185 breast cancer patients were treated with PST; 160 patients received preoperative chemotherapy, and 25 patients received preoperative endocrine therapy. Thus, 143 of 160 patients with preoperative chemotherapy and 22 of 25 patients with preoperative endocrine therapy were eligible for evaluation. The combination of blue dye and radioactive tracer was used for identification of SLNs. All patients received SLNB and axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Pathologic assessment of SLNs was performed and compared to non-SLN status.Results
Pathologic complete response rates and breast conserving therapy rates were 15.4 and 78.3% in the preoperative chemotherapy group and 0 and 77.3% in the preoperative endocrine therapy group, respectively. Identification rate, sensitivity, overall accuracy, and false-negative rate were 81.1% (116 of 143), 91.7% (55 of 60), 95.7% (111 of 116), and 8.3% (5 of 60) in the preoperative chemotherapy group and 77.3% (17 of 22), 90.0% (9 of 10), 94.1% (16 of 17), and 10.0% (1 of 10) in the preoperative endocrine therapy group, respectively.Discussion
SLNB after primary systemic therapy is accurate, and the results are comparable to those of primary SLNB. SLNB after PST could spare ALND in up to 40% of patients with primary positive axillary lymph nodes and should be considered as a standard for axillary staging in those patients.11.
Background
Compartment-oriented lymph node dissection in patients with thyroid cancer and macroscopic lymph node metastases reduces recurrence and improves survival. However, the extent of lymph node dissection remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to examine the results of selective lateral compartment neck dissection (LCND) for thyroid cancer.Methods
We completed a retrospective review of patients with thyroid cancer who underwent selective LCND from 1992–2012 to determine the extent of lymph node resection, morbidity, recurrence, subsequent operations, mortality, and duration of follow-up.Results
A total of 45 LCNDs (five bilateral) were performed in 40 patients, 35 with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) and five with medullary carcinoma. Nineteen LCNDs (42%) were completed at the time of thyroidectomy. Levels IIA, III, IV, and VB were included in 43 LCNDs (96%) and levels IIA, III, and IV in two LCNDs (4%). Morbidity included neck or ear numbness in 19 patients (48%), neuropathic symptoms in 14 (35%), Horner syndrome in two (5%), marginal mandibular nerve paresis in two (5%), and wound infection in one (3%). Recurrence rate was 25% (10 patients) and one or more reoperations were performed in seven patients (18%) with a mean follow-up of 58 ± 60 mo (range, 1–244 mo). There were 3 ipsilateral recurrences (8%) after 40 LCNDs for DTC. Four patients died from systemic disease: three with medullary carcinoma and one with PTC.Conclusions
Selective LCND is an effective therapeutic strategy for macroscopic lymph node metastases, with an 8% recurrence rate in the ipsilateral neck in patients with DTC. Neuropathic symptoms, however, remain an important source of morbidity. 相似文献12.

Background
Axillary lymph node dissection plays an important role in breast cancer management in terms of staging, prediction of prognosis, determination of adjuvant therapy, and local control of the primary tumor. The objective of this study was to evaluate the axillary lymph node involvement in multicentric breast tumors and breast tumors with nipple involvement in comparison with unifocal tumors.Patients and Methods
We reviewed the records of 267 patients with stage I or IIA disease. The rates of axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) in patients with unifocal tumors, multicentric tumors, or nipple involvement were compared.Results
209 (78%) patients had unifocal tumors, 24 (8%) had multicentric tumors, and 34 (12%) had nipple involvement. The incidence of ALNM was 9.76% in patients with unifocal tumors, 24.84% in patients with multicentric tumors, and 36.71% in patients with nipple involvement. Hence, the incidence of ALNM was significantly higher in patients with nipple involvement or multicentric tumors than in patients with unifocal tumors.Conclusion
Our data suggest that compared to unifocal tumors, breast tumors with nipple involvement or multiple foci show a significantly higher incidence of ALNM which is a predictor of a poor prognosis. 相似文献14.

Background
Prior studies have demonstrated the prognostic value of pretreatment serum albumin in different types of cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of the albumin to globulin ratio (AGR) on survival in breast cancer patients.Methods
This retrospective study used an unselected cohort of 354 breast cancer patients who had documented total protein and albumin levels prior to chemotherapy. Survival status was obtained from our cancer registry. Survival analysis, stratified by AGR tertiles, was used to evaluate the prognostic value of AGR.Results
Patients in the highest AGR tertiles (AGR > 1.45) had a lower 5-year mortality rate compared with those in the middle (AGR 1.21 to 1.45) and the lowest (AGR < 1.21) tertiles (6% vs 18% and 32%, P < .001). After adjusting for confounding variables, AGR remained a significant predictor of mortality (P < .002). Moreover, after excluding the patients with albumin levels less than 3.6, the AGR remained a significant predictor of survival (P .0018).Conclusions
Pretreatment AGR is an independent, significant predictor of long-term mortality in breast cancer patients, even in patients with normal albumin levels. 相似文献16.

Purpose
Little evidence can be found about the long-term outcome of breast cancer patients after axillary lymph node recurrence (ALNR) and its survival benefit after different kinds of management. The present study intends to evaluate the risk factors associated with axillary recurrence after definite surgery for primary breast cancer. The prognosis after ALNR and particularly outcome of different management methods also were studied.Methods
We retrospectively reviewed data from 4,473 patients who were diagnosed with primary breast cancer and received surgical intervention in a single institute from January 1990 to December 2002. Medical files were reviewed and data on survival were updated annually. Risk factors and prognosis of patients with axillary recurrence were analyzed. Breast–cancer-specific survival of patients with ALNR and outcomes after different management methods also were studied.Results
After a median follow-up of 70.2 months, axillary recurrence developed in 0.8% of patients. Factors associated with ALNR included: age younger than 40 years, medial tumor location, no initial standard level I &; II axillary dissection, and not receiving hormonal therapy. The 5-year breast–cancer-specific survival after ALNR was 57.9%. For patients who received further axillary dissection, the 5-year survival rate was 82.5% compared with 44.9% for patients who did not receive further dissection.Conclusions
ALNR is a rare event in treating breast cancer. Young age at diagnosis and medially located tumor are associated with higher risk, but standardized initial axillary dissection to level II and adjuvant hormonal therapy is protective against ALNR. In patients with ALNR, the outcome is not dismal and survival may be improved if further axillary dissection is given. 相似文献17.
Background
Triple-negative (TN) breast cancer lacks a known signaling pathway amenable to targeted therapy. The authors hypothesized that the G protein–coupled receptor GPR30 may be present in TN breast cancer and serve a role for tumor growth.Methods
A retrospective pathology study and chart review were conducted. All patients aged ≤49 years from 2000 to 2008 were included (n = 24). Concurrent patients aged ≥50 years were randomly selected. Paraffin sections were stained for GPR30 and reviewed by a pathologist blinded to estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor status. Disease-free survival was analyzed versus age and receptor status. Means were compared using 2-sample t tests and proportions using chi-square analysis.Results
Twenty-seven patients tested GPR30 positive and 21 GPR30 negative. Seventeen of 18 TN cancers tested positive for GPR30 (P < .0001). Recurrence at a mean follow-up of 36 months was 22.2% in the GPR30-positive group and 9.5% in the GPR30-negative group.Conclusions
GPR30 is prevalent in TN breast cancer and associated with young age and possibly recurrence. 相似文献18.

Background
The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of surgical treatment of Paget's disease of the breast, with special emphasis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and sentinel node biopsy (SNB).Methods
The study included 58 consecutive patients with Paget's disease treated from 1995 to 2006.Results
Twenty-five patients had ductal carcinoma in situ, and 31 had invasive carcinoma. MRI was performed in 14 patients, with positive findings in 7 patients, 5 of whom had negative findings on conventional imaging. The overall mastectomy rate was 76%. Eighteen patients underwent SNB, and 26 patients underwent full or partial axillary clearance. Fourteen patients had no axillary surgery. One patient had local recurrence after breast conservation, and another had axillary recurrence after negative results on SNB. Six patients had distant metastases. Four patients died of breast cancer.Conclusions
Paget's disease is frequently associated with peripheral or multicentric cancer. MRI may be helpful when considering breast conservation or omitting axillary nodal staging. 相似文献20.
