Multi-center investigation of breast reconstruction after mastectomy from Chinese Society of Breast Surgery: A survey based on 31 tertiary hospitals (CSBrS-004)

Objective:Multi-center data on the current status and trends of breast reconstruction after mastectomy in China are lacking.Herein,we conducted a cross-sectional survey to investigate the current clinical practice pattern of postmastectomy breast reconstruction among Chinese female patients with breast cancer.Methods:A standardized questionnaire used to collect information on breast reconstruction among females diagnosed with breast cancer was distributed by 31 members of the Chinese Society of Breast Surgery between January 1,2018 and December 31,2018.Information was collected on tumor characteristics,treatment,mesh application,nipple-areola complex(NAC)preservation,postoperative complications,bilateral reconstruction,patient satisfaction and local recurrence.The overall rate of breast reconstruction was assessed,and the characteristics were compared across patient groups with different reconstruction approaches.Results:A total of 1,554 patients underwent breast reconstruction after total mastectomy,with a reconstruction rate of 9.6%.Among them,1,190 were implant-based,and 262 underwent autologous reconstructions,while 102 cases underwent a combination of both.Patients who underwent implant-based reconstruction were younger than those who received autologous reconstruction(40.1±4.6 vs.45.0±5.9,P=0.004).Compared to patients with autologous reconstruction,mesh application(25.5%vs.6.5%),NAC preservation(51.8%vs.40.5%)and reconstruction failure(1.8%vs.0)were more frequently reported among those with implant-based reconstruction.There was no significant difference in general satisfaction across three reconstruction approaches,though patients with autologous reconstruction reported the highest aesthetic satisfaction among the three groups(P=0.044).Conclusions:Implant-based breast reconstruction remains the dominant choice among patients,while autologous reconstruction was associated with higher aesthetic satisfaction.Our multi-center investigation based on the findings of the tertiary hospitals of Chinese Society of Breast Surgery may guide a future series of clinical studies on breast reconstruction in China.

Analysis of 6 cases of stromal sarcoma of the breast

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of stromal sarcoma of the breast （SSB）. Methods： The clinical and pathological data of 6 patients with SSB treated between 1954 and 2007 were retrospectively analyzed.
METHODS The clinical and pathological data of 6 patients with SSB treated between 1954 and 2007 were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTS All patients were female and one was menopausal. The median age of the patients was 39 years old （range, 20-55）. All cases had a history of a palpable mass. The tumor rapidly augmented in a short time period in 3 patients. One patient had discontinuous pain and 3 patients had masses located in the upper outer quadrant of the breast. The median tumor radius was 6.0 cm （range, 3-15 cm）. According to the AJCC breast cancer staging standard （6th edition）, 1 case was of stage ⅡA, 2 cases were of stage ⅡB, 2 cases were of stage ⅢB and one case couldn＇t be staged. Four patients were initially treated by excising the tumor and then undergoing mastectomy or modified radical mastectomy after recurrence. Radical mastectomy was suitable for those with pectoralis major muscle involvement. Two patients received simple mastectom）~ 2 patients underwent radical mastectomy and another 2 patients received modified radical mastectomy. After surgery, all patients were identified as SSB through pathology, with focal ossification in one case and mucinous degeneration in another one case. Four patients who underwent axillary lymph node dissection did not have lymph node metastases. Three patients received chemotherapy after surgery. After a median follow-up time of 36.5 months （8-204 months）, 4 patients had recurrence after local excision and 3 patients had recurrence more than 2 times with a median time to recurrence of 2.5 months （1 to 4 months） after surgery. One patient had lung metastases at 7 months after the initial surgery and the other 5 patients were alive without disease at the end of the follow-up period.
CONCLUSION SSB is difficult to diagnose preoperatively and is characterized by its tendency to .recur locally. To obtain negative margins, wide local excision or mastectomy must be performed. Axillary lymph node dissection is not mandatory. The roles of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy have still been controversial.     

Operable Breast Cancer： a Clinical Analysis of 6,263 Cases

OBJECTIVE In Europe and America breast cancer commonly occurs in women of middle and old age, with a median age of about 57 years. Modified radical mastectomy now called standard radical mastectomy, has taken the place of traditional radical mastectomy. Patients with breast cancer at an early stage commonly receive BCT (breast conservative therapy). The TNM stage (especially the lymph node status) affects the prognosis, and adjuvant therapy can improve survival. In China, only a few reports have been pubIished studying large numbers of breast cancer patients. This study was designed to analyze the clinical features, surgical pattern and treatment outcome of resectable breast cancer, as well as to explore the prognostic factors and the effect of adjuvant therapy, with a goal to improve the level of diagnosis and treatment.METHODS Records of the 6,263 patients with resectable breast cancer who had been admitted into our hospital from June 1964 to June 2003 were analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS Of the 6,263 cases, 98.8% were female. Breast cancer occurred most frequently in patients of ages 40～49 years (41.0%), especially in patients 45～49 years old (25.2%). A breast lump, which occurred in 96.2% of the patients, was the main clinical manifestation. The overall 5- and 10-year survival rates were 75.16% and 40.44%. Of the patients in TNM stages 0-1,Ⅱ, and Ⅲ, the 5-year survival rates were 96.8%, 73.7% and 46.4% respectively and the 10-year survival rates were 78.7%, 64.6% and 33.5% respectively. The 5-, and 10-year survival rates were higher in the lymph node negative group than in the lymph node positive group (80.3% vs. 55.6%, and 59.2% vs. 31.9%, P＜0.01). Since the 1980s there was no significant difference in survival rates of patients who received a radical mastectomy compared to a modified radical mastectomy(P＞0.05). Of the 73 patients who underwent breast conservative therapy, no local recurrence or metastasis occurred during a maximal follow-up of 17 years. Of the patients in stage T2T4, the 5-, and 10-year survival rates were significantly higher in the group treated with adjuvant chemotherapy compared to the non-chemotherapy group (78.2% vs. 60.1%, and 48.9% vs. 30.7%, P＜0.01).CONCLUSION According to our data, breast cancer most frequently occurred in patients of ages 45～49 years. The TNM stage (especially the lymph node status) relates to breast cancer prognosis. The prognosis was worse in patients with positive lymph nodes compared to the patients with negative lymph nodes. The efficacy of a modified radical mastectomy is equal to that of a radical mastectomy, and breast conservative therapy can be applied to patients in an early stage. Adjuvant chemotherapy and endocrine therapy can improve the survival of resectable breast cancer patients.     

肿瘤切除后鼻腔复合缺损的重建:作者经验及疗效评价(英文)

Objective:The aim of the study was to present our experience in reconstruction of complex defects of the nose.Methods:Fourteen patients presenting with large composite defects of the nose were anatomically reconstructed after full tumor clearance of a skin cancer.The aesthetic outcome was assessed subjectively and objectively while the functional outcome was only assessed subjectively in 13 patients.Results:Basal cell carcinoma(BCC),represented the tumor excised in 10 patients while the remaining 4 patients suffered from squamous cell carcinoma(SCC).One patient died of extensive local recurrence of SCC after 6 months.The commonest flap used for inner lining was the septal flap while the forehead paramedian flap provided the external coverage for the majority of patients.All flaps survived completely except in one patient who developed distal paramedian forehead flap necrosis.Two patients developed multiple abscesses and sinuses discharging parts of cartilage grafts through the flaps’skin with one patient suffering from total extrusion of the costal cartilage grafts.Two other patients suffered from severe nostril stenosis.All patients had variable degree of difficulty in airway passage,while most patients were satisfied with the total nasal appearance.The objective assessment of the overall appearance of the nose scored less than the subjective satisfaction.Conclusion:Reconstruction of complex nasal defects has a high learning curve.Intranasal flaps are usually of limited size and nostril asymmetry is likely to occur.Local or regional skin flaps if available are still considered a good choice for inner as well as outer lining.     

带蒂额肌帽状腱膜裂层颅骨瓣修复前颅底(英文)

Objective:The aim of our study was to reconstruct soft and hard tissue perforating defects of the anterior skull base in a 1-stage surgical procedure with a combined craniofacial approach. Methods:Soft and hard tissue defects of the anterior skull base were successfully reconstructed in 43 patients during a 1-stage surgery through the use of frontalis muscle galea aponeurotica skull flaps with 1 or 2 vascularized pedicles. The skull flap areas were up approximately 7cm × 14cm. Results:Intracranial infection and cerebrospinal fluid leakage were not observed in the 43 patients, and all incisions healed. Of 33 malignant tumor patients, 25 patients received follow-up examinations for longer than 2 years, and 18 patients survived for 2 years. Conclusion:Frontalis muscle galea aponeurotica skull pedicle flaps provided a constant blood supply and resulted in soft and thin tissue. The pedicle flaps, together with the external cranial bone plate, strengthened the support, but still allowed for bending and shaping. In addition, the flap harvesting approach was consistent with surgery approach, without aesthetic compromises.     

Preoperative Chemoradiotherapy for Inflammatory Breast Cancer

OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of preoperative chemoradiotherapy for inflammatory breast cancer. METHODS From December 1996 to December 2000, we received and treated 21 patients with inflammatory breast carcinoma with a combined-modality treatment. The chemotherapy protocol consisted of cyclophos-phamide (CTX), pirarubicin (THP-ADM) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or CTX, 5-Fu and methotrexate (MTX). The same infusion scheme was repeated on day 21. After 3-4 cycles the patients were treated with radiotherapy. When the radiation dose reached 40 Gy, the patients who were unable or unwilling to under go an operation received continued radiotherapy. When the radiation dose to the supra clavicular fossa and internal mammary lymph nodes reached 60 Gy and 50 Gy respectively, the radiotherapy was stopped. Chemotherapy was then continued with the original scheme. Patients who had indications for surgery and were willing to under go an operation received no treatment for 2 weeks, after which a total mastectomy was performed. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy was resumed with the original scheme after the operations. When the radiation dose reached 50 Gy, radiotherapy was stopped. RESULTS All patients were followed-up for more than 5 years with a follow-up rate of 100%. The overall 3 and 5-year survival rates of these patients were 42.9%, and 23.8% respectively. For patients in Stage IIIB the 3 and 5-year survival rates were 50.0% and 27.8% respectively, and for patients in Stage IV, the 3 and 5-year survival rates were both 0.0%. There was a significant difference between the 2 stage groups (P<0.05, x2=11.60). For patients who received an operation, the 3 and 5-year survival rates were 80.0% and 33.3% respectively, For patients who were not treated with an operation, the 3 and 5 -year survival rates were both 0.0%, There was a significant difference between the operated and non-operated groups (P<0.05, x2=11.64). CONCLUSION The prognosis of inflammatory breast carcinoma is poor. Before operation, a combined -modality treatment (first chemotherapy, then local therapy, finally chemotherapy and radiotherapy) is the best treatment method.     

Breast-conserving surgery and combined therapy for women breast cancer： a report of 216 cases

Objective： To explore the therapeutic effect and associated techniques of breast-conserving therapy on patients with clinical stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ breast cancer. Methods： 216 female patients with breast cancer underwent breast-conserving therapy from December 1993 to October 2004. Their data were analyzed retrospectively. The breast-conserving therapy consisted of lumpectomy or quadrant removal of the breast, postoperative radiotherapy, chemotherapy and endocrine therapy. Of them, 209 patients underwent axillary lymph node dissection. Results： There were no operative complications. 216 patients were followed-up 3 to 147 months, the medial follow-up time was 78 months. The local recurrence rate was 1.85%. Two patients died and one of them was not related with breast cancer. Presence or absence of fibrosis, shape of breast, asymmetry, pigmentation and handle were taken into consideration for cosmetic evaluation by the patients and experienced breast surgeon. Breasts were scored cosmetically as excellent and good in 199 patients, the rate of satisfactory was 92.13%. Conclusion： Breast-conserving therapy for early breast cancer is e safe end effective therapy. It has less trauma end less complications and can also raise the quality of life in the patients. But we must obey the strict indications and reasonable techniques.     

ACETYLATOR PHENOTYPE AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO BREAST TUMOR

The patterns of acetylator phenotypes has been determined in 102 women with breast tumors, including 25 with benign breast disease and 77 with breast cancer, and compared to that in 59 healthy controls. There was significant increase (16.2%) of rapid acetylators in 77 patients with breast cancer, P<0.05. As a result of the effect of therapy on the rate of acetylation, it was found that in 39 patients with breast cancer the level of acetylation was decreased after mastectomy. The difference of percentage acetylation between preoperation and post-operation was statistically significant, P<0.05. A similar change in 8 patients with breast cancer could be observed after chemotherapy, P<0.01. The results obtained in the present study indicated that there was a significant association between rapid phcnotype and breast cancer of women. The mastectomy or inhibition of tumor growth may bring about a decrease in the level of acetylation.     

Primary osteosarcoma of the breast in young women: One case report and literature review

Case Report A 21-year-old female with a breast tumor for over a month came to our hospital. The physical examinations on her breast showed a mammary neoplasm of about 4 cm, with a good range of motion and no abnormality seen in the skin. The patient remained single, and had no family history of breast cancer or ovarian carcinoma. CT and X-ray examinations on the osseous tissue of the whole body showed that no lesions were found. A glabrous tumor with peplos was seen during the surgery, and was completely excised.     

Optimizing pedicled transverse rectus abdominis muscle flap breast reconstruction

With improved detection and genetic screening for breast cancer, increasing numbers of patients are choosing mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction. Advances in breast reconstruction and mastectomy techniques over the last 25 years have increased expectations for breast reconstruction. The purpose of this review is to describe the role of the pedicled transverse rectus abdominis muscle (TRAM) flap in modern breast reconstruction.The pedicled TRAM flap is the most common method of autologous breast reconstruction. TRAM flap reconstruction involves the transfer of lower abdominal skin and subcutaneous fat based on the superior epigastric vessels. Common risk factors for complications from pedicled TRAM flap reconstruction include smoking, obesity, and postoperative radiotherapy. Patients with these risk factors are often candidates for a vascular delay procedure whose purpose is to enhance the blood flow within the TRAM flap.Despite advances in free flap breast reconstruction, pedicled TRAM flap breast reconstruction remains an excellent option for unilateral breast reconstructions. Unlike microsurgical breast reconstruction, the pedicled TRAM flap does not require sophisticated postoperative monitoring and can be performed efficiently in any hospital setting. Furthermore, with the addition of a vascular delay procedure, pedicled TRAM reconstructions can be safely performed even in traditionally "high risk" patients.

The effect of radiotherapy on the use of immediate breast reconstruction.

BACKGROUND: Immediate breast reconstruction techniques include tissue-expansion, latissimus dorsi flap with or without an implant, pedicled TRAM flap and free tissue-transfer. Adjuvant radiotherapy decreases loco-regional recurrence and increases overall survival. Radiotherapy in the presence of a tissue-expander or an implant can lead to an increased number of complications and poor cosmetic outcome. AIM OF THE STUDY: To study the relationship between radiotherapy and the choice of the immediate breast reconstruction technique in view of the increased number of breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant radiotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: An audit of 121 patients who had immediate breast reconstruction over a period of 2 years was reviewed retrospectively. In March 1998, the radiotherapy protocol was revised. Forty-two patients operated on between January 1997 and March 1998 were compared to 79 patients operated on between April 1998 and June 1999. RESULTS: The percentage of patients receiving adjuvant radiotherapy increased in the second period as well as the proportion of autologous breast reconstruction. A small percentage of patients required unexpected radiotherapy after insertion of tissue expanders, due to narrow excision margins or unexpected pathology. Only two patients had tissue-expansion although radiotherapy was likely. CONCLUSION: The choice of the immediate breast reconstruction technique was satisfactory in most patients. The use of implants is best avoided in patients who may require adjuvant radiotherapy. Autologous immediate breast reconstruction, either free or pedicled flaps, is a safer choice for those patients.

A 7 year experience with immediate breast reconstruction after skin sparing mastectomy for cancer.

Skin sparing mastectomy (SSM) is a procedure that has gained popularity for patients who elect to have a mastectomy as the treatment for carcinoma of the breast. Reconstruction of the breast after SSM yields the best aesthetic results since it preserves most of the skin envelope and the inframammary fold. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the oncologic safety and aesthetic results for SSM and immediate breast reconstruction. One hundred and five patients treated between April 1997 and December 2004 were reviewed. The mean age of the patients was 40 years. The mean follow up was for 48 months, considered from the time of SSM and reconstruction. Reconstructive techniques included pedicled transverse rectus abdominis muscle (TRAM) flap (n: 70 patients), tissue expanders and implants (n: 29 patients), latissimus dorsi flaps and implants (n: 6 patients). Aesthetic results were judged by an independent plastic surgeon and by the patient as excellent, good, fair or poor. The findings of this study demonstrate that SSM and immediate breast reconstruction can be safely performed. Detection and treatment of recurrences were not inhibited by the reconstructions. In this experience the best results were seen after TRAM flap reconstructions. The general level of satisfaction expressed by the patient was correlated with a good appearance of the reconstructed breast and the physical comfort.     

Direct to Implant Breast Reconstruction With Prepectoral Micropolyurethane Foam-Coated Implant: Analysis of Patient Satisfaction

BackgroundImmediate implant reconstruction after mastectomy with submuscular implant placement is widely used in order to avoid implant exposure, capsular contracture and poor aesthetic result. Postoperative complications can be reduced by maintain mastectomy flap thickness and asses flap vascularity with near infrared imaging. The prepectoral reconstruction with polyurethane implants has been utilized with encouraging results. Postoperative patient satisfaction was assessed with the BREAST-Q scores in patients who underwent prepectoral reconstruction with polyurethane implants. Additionally the impact of mastectomy flap thickness on breast reconstruction was investigated.Materials and MethodsThe Breast Q-scores of satisfaction with the breast, the postoperative outcome and physical well-being of the chest in 70 patients underwent immediate implant breast reconstructions with prepectoral polyurethane implant were retrospectively reviewed. The correlation between mastectomy flap thickness and satisfaction with breast was analyzed.ResultsAt 12-month follow-up the mean Q-score for satisfaction with breast was 71.73 (standard deviation: 13.31), and for physical well-being chest was 70.73 (standard deviation: 7.94). A positive linear correlation between mastectomy flap thickness and satisfaction with the breast was identified.ConclusionsThe postoperative Q-scores are encouraging in the use of polyurethane prepectoral implants in immediate breast reconstruction, especially in patients with “thick” mastectomy flaps.     

乳腺癌乳房切除术后两种不同即刻再造方法的并发症和生存分析

目的 比较乳腺癌乳房切除术后两种不同即刻再造方法 的并发症和患者的生存情况.方法 选取女性乳腺癌患者128例,根据治疗方法 不同将患者分为带蒂横行腹直肌肌皮瓣组(腹直肌组)和带蒂横行背阔肌肌皮瓣组(背阔肌组),每组各64例.对两组患者的术后并发症发生情况、骨转移、全身多处转移、局部复发及死亡情况进行统计分析.结果 腹直肌组患者的术后并发症发生率和局部复发率均低于背阔肌组(P<0.05);两组患者的骨转移率、全身多处软组织转移率和病死率比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05).结论 乳腺癌乳房切除术后带蒂横行腹直肌肌皮瓣即刻乳房重建术较背阔肌临床效果好.     

带蒂腹直肌皮瓣在乳房重建手术中的应用

随着人民生活水平的提高和医学技术的发展,乳腺癌患者接受全乳切除术后对乳房重建的需求日益增长。带蒂腹直肌皮瓣(transverse rectus abdominis muscle,TRAM)手术是重要的自体组织乳房重建方法。该文就TRAM皮瓣的解剖与血供、TRAM手术的适应证和禁忌证、手术步骤以及并发症进行介绍,同时还对TRAM手术中的一些细节问题进行了探讨。TRAM术式作为自体组织乳房重建技术,不需要假体,从而避免了假体相关的并发症。另外相比于假体重建,自体组织重建的外形和柔软度都更接近于自然乳房,具有更好的重建效果。同时带蒂的TRAM术式不需要显微血管吻合技术和密切的术后皮瓣检测,容易被外科医师掌握并在更多的医学中心开展。因此TRAM皮瓣仍然具有一定的应用前景。
