Downstaging of breast cancer primary lesions and metastatic axillary lymph nodes among patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has raised the new challenges and opportunities on individualized breast cancer surgical treatment. Downstaging of the primary lesion has given patients that were previously deemed inoperable or not suitable for surgery a second chance. While downstaging of the lymph nodes has made it possible for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) to safely replace axillary lymph node dissection. However, the detection rate and false negative rate of early breast cancer SLNB technique in post-NAC patients barely meet the standard of clinical practice. Therefore, it is required that SLNB in post-NAC patients to be carried out by a medical team with advanced imaging equipments and extensive experiences in SLNB. Furthermore, they should be able to precisely evaluate axillary lymph node status before and after NAC as well as mark metastatic lymph node before NAC. Indications of SLNB should be restricted to patients that are downstaged from cN0 to ycN0 or from cN1 to ycN0. Particularly, it is only safe for patients whose axillary lymph node status become negative after NAC to receive SLNB when dual tracer (blue dye and radionuclide), removing more than 2 sentinel lymph nodes and targeted axillary dissection technique are used.

Objective:To assess the efficacy of trastuzumab combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (Her-2)positive breast cancer patients,and to explore its influencing factors of prognosis of breast cancer.Methods:The clinical materials of 112 Her-2 positive breast cancer patients were collected and they were divided into combined treatment group (trastuzumab + neoadj uvant chemotherapy)and single chemotherapy group (without trastuzumab ). SPSS 1 9.0 software was employed to calculate and analyze their clinical characteristics.The survival rate and prognosis were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method,Log-rank test, and Cox regression. Results:Among the 112 Her-2 positive breast cancer patients, 23 cases were treated with trastuzumab,89 cases were treated without trastuzumab.The disease-free survival (DFS)in combined treatment group and single chemotherapy group had significant difference (P=0.012).And there was no significant difference of overall survival (OS)between two groups (P=0.064).The HR negative group had 18 (32.7%)patients with 5-level of Miller and Payne (MP)classification which was higher than HR positive group (5/46,10.9%)(P=0.009).In univariate analysis,the tumor size,node status at diagnosis and node status after operation were the influencing factors of DFS in the Her-2 positive breast cancer patients;the tumor size,node status at diagnosis,MP classification and node status after operation were the influencing factors of OS in the Her-2 positive breast cancer patients.The result of multivariate analysis indicated that the tumor size, node status at diagnosis,and with or without radiotherapy were the independent influencing factors of DFS and OS in the Her-2 positive breast cancer patients. Conclusion:The breast lesions in the Her-2 positive breast cancer patients with negative HR are relieved after treated with trastuzumab combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The combination of trastuzumab and neoadj uvant chemotherapy can significantly improve the DFS and has a positive influence in the prognosis of Her-2 positive breast cancer patients.

Objective:Pathological nipple discharge (PND) is commonly associated with benign breast disorders. However, PND lesions can also be malignant and can be the initial or unique presenting symptom of breast cancer. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the clinical factors and the character of PND lesions. Methods:The clinical data of 207 patients with PND as their primary complaint were retrospectively analyzed. Results:Univariate analysis showed that the risk factors for breast cancer usually increase in patients with PND accompanied by a breast lump or breast calcification or those aged over 50 (P0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that patients aged over 50 with PND accompanied by a breast lump or breast calcification have a higher risk of suffering from breast cancer. Conclusion:The ages of patients with PND accompanied by a breast lump or breast calcification may significantly affect the diagnosis of benign and malignant PND lesions.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To determine whether the clinical and pathologic characteristics and prognoses of myasthenia gravis (MG) patients below 15 years differ from those patients over 50 years after thymectomy.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We reviewed the registry material of 30 pediatric and 32 elderly MG patients after thymectomy, including their age, sex, clinical classification, pathological types, and prognoses. The Chi-square test or Wilcoxon's rank-sum test was used to determine the statistical differences between the children and elderly groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>No significant difference was seen in sex distribution between the two groups. (Chi-square test, P=0.625), but there were differences in clinical classification: more type I was observed in the pediatric group than in the elderly group, but more type II or III was seen in the elderly group (Wilcoxon's rank-sum test, P<0.001). As to pathological types, the pediatric group was also significantly different from the elderly group (Chi-square test, P<0.01). All of the patients (100%) in the pediatric group had thymus hyperplasia, but in the elderly group more than half (56.26%) were found to have thymoma (benign or malignant). The prognoses after thymectomy were better in the pediatric group than in the elderly group (Wilcoxon's rank-sum test, P<0.001).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Because the prognoses are generally better than those of the elderly patients, we should be careful when operating on pediatric patients of ocular type. The elderly patients tend to receive more aggressive treatment because of more severe generalized types often associated with thymoma and poor prognoses. Both pediatric and elderly patients are seldom associated with other autoimmune disease.</p>
