RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: In response to growing evidence that proper performance of operative techniques during cancer surgery is associated with improved patient outcomes, the American College of Surgeons (ACS) implemented six operative standards as part of Commission on Cancer (CoC) accreditation. This study aimed to assess surgeon familiarity with these standards when first introduced and 2 years after their adoption. METHODS: The ACS Cancer Surgery Standards Program distributed an anonymous 36-question survey to CoC-accredited cancer programs in 2021 and 2023. Questions specific to operative techniques determined the Surgery Score, and those specific to the accreditation standards determined the Standards Score. Mean scores were compared using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t tests. RESULTS: The survey was completed by 376 surgeons in 2021 and 380 surgeons in 2023. The Surgery Scores were higher than the Standards Scores in 2021 and 2023. The surgeons who practiced at institutions with CoC accreditation had significantly higher Standards Scores than the surgeons at non-accredited institutions in 2021 (p = 0.005) and 2023 (p = 0.004), but not significantly different Surgery Scores. CONCLUSIONS: The baseline survey in 2021 demonstrated significant knowledge of technical aspects of cancer surgery among a broad surgeon base, but a need for greater understanding of the accreditation standards. The repeat survey distribution 2 years after rollout of the operative standards and associated educational programing showed increased awareness surrounding the operative standards in 2023 and a trend toward improvement in knowledge of the accreditation standards across all specialties. Further evaluation will be directed toward compliance with the accreditation standards.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Targeted axillary dissection (TAD) facilitates nodal staging in cN1 breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Completion axillary node dissection (cALND) remains the standard of care for TAD-positive patients. This study investigated factors associated with additional positive nodes at cALND (cALND+) and the impact on the residual cancer burden (RCB). METHODS: Retrospective review of cN1 breast cancer patients treated with NAC and TAD was conducted from July 2013 to June 2023. The review defined cN1 status by ultrasound (US) and biopsy. Patient, tumor, and treatment characteristics were evaluated. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify factors associated with cALND+, and RCB was calculated. RESULTS: Of 902 patients who underwent TAD, 554 (61.4%) were TAD-positive. 457 underwent cALND, and 124 (27%) were cALND+ (average 4.1 additional +nodes). The cALND+ patients had larger primary tumors at diagnosis (4 vs 3.5 cm; p = 0.04), more than three suspicious nodes on initial US (30% vs 13%; p ≤ 0.0001), larger residual primary tumors on pathology (median, 3 vs 2.1 cm; p = 0.0004), and more positive TAD nodes (median, 2 vs 1; p ≤ 0.0001). In the multivariate analysis, the factors associated with cALND+ were more than three suspicious nodes on initial US (odds ratio [OR], 2.9; p ≤ 0.0001), more positive TAD nodes (OR, 1.1; p ≤ 0.0001), larger clipped node metastasis (OR, 1.1; p ≤ 0.0001), and larger residual tumor on pathology (OR, 1.1; p = 0.006). Of 65 cALND+ patients with RCB class I or II, 29 (45%) had an increase in RCB based on cALND. CONCLUSION: Of cN1 breast cancer patients treated with NAC who are TAD-positive, approximately 25% will have additional nodal disease on cALND. In these patients, positive cALND is associated with greater disease burden, which has potential implications for RCB status and prognosis.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is rare and biologically aggressive. We sought to assess diagnostic and management strategies among the American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBrS) membership. PATIENTS AND METHODS: An anonymous survey was distributed to ASBrS members from March to May 2023. The survey included questions about respondents' demographics and information related to stage III and IV IBC management. Agreement was defined as a shared response by >80% of respondents. In areas of disagreement, responses were stratified by years in practice, fellowship training, and annual IBC patient volume. RESULTS: The survey was administered to 2337 members with 399 (17.1%) completing all questions and defining the study cohort. Distribution of years in practice was 26.0% 0-10 years, 26.6% 11-20 years and 47.4% > 20 years. Overall, 51.2% reported surgical oncology or breast fellowship training, 69.2% maintain a breast-only practice, and 73.5% treat < 5 IBC cases/year. Agreement was identified in diagnostic imaging, trimodal therapy, and mastectomy with wide skin excision for stage III IBC. Lack of agreement was identified in surgical management of the axilla; respondents with < 10 years in practice or fellowship training were more likely to perform axillary dissection for cN0-N2 stage III IBC. Locoregional management of stage IV IBC was variable. CONCLUSIONS: Among ASBrS members, there is consensus in diagnostic evaluation, treatment sequencing and surgical approach to the breast in stage III IBC. Differences exist in surgical management of the cN0-2 axilla with uptake of de-escalation strategies. Clinical trials are needed to evaluate oncologic safety of de-escalation in this high-risk population.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Axillary dissection is the standard of care for patients with positive sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) following neoadjuvant systemic therapy. Frozen section can provide intraoperative information regarding the need for axillary dissection during the index operation. However, there are limited data on the utility of frozen section in patients with clinically node-negative (cN0) HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer. METHODS: We conducted a single-institution observational cohort study including patients with non-inflammatory, cN0, HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant systemic therapy between 2015 and 2019. We estimated the prevalence of SLN positivity and the diagnostic test characteristics of SLN frozen section. RESULTS: Overall, 662 patients were eligible for inclusion, and 44 patients had one or more positive SLNs (prevalence: 6.6%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.9-8.8). There were 490 (74.0%) patients who had intraoperative frozen section, and 19 (3.9%) tested positive among 33 (6.7%) with positive final pathology. Frozen section sensitivity was 57.6% (95% CI 39.2-74.5), specificity was 100% (95% CI 99.2-100), positive predictive value was 100% (95% CI 82.4-100), and negative predictive value was 97.0% (95% CI 95.1-98.4). The sensitivity of frozen section for detection of micrometastases or isolated tumor cells was 35.3% (95% CI 14.2-61.7). CONCLUSION: In patients with cN0 HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer who have been treated with neoadjuvant therapy, positive SLNs are uncommon and frozen section sensitivity is modest. Decisions to defer SLN evaluation to final pathology, which may be reasonable in many settings, can be informed, in part, by these findings.

RESUMEN

Importance: Although most women with BRCA-associated breast cancer choose bilateral mastectomy, current guidelines support breast-conserving therapy as an option. As the indications for genetic testing expand and targeted therapies emerge, understanding the outcomes of breast-conserving therapy in the population of patients choosing breast conservation is important. Objective: To describe the clinical outcomes of women with BRCA-associated breast cancer who were treated with breast-conserving therapy, including the risks of ipsilateral and contralateral cancer events and bilateral mastectomy-free survival. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cohort study conducted at a single-institution academic national comprehensive cancer center included 172 women identified from a prospectively maintained database who had pathogenic BRCA1/2 variants and were treated with breast-conserving therapy from January 1, 1977, to December 31, 2021. Main Outcomes and Measures: Clinical and pathologic characteristics for patients with BRCA1 and BRCA2 were compared, and estimates of overall survival, bilateral mastectomy-free survival, distant disease-free survival, risk of ipsilateral breast cancer, and risk of contralateral cancer were computed. Results: The cohort included 172 women (mean [SD] age, 47.1 [11.7] years), with 42 (24.4%) receiving a diagnosis of breast cancer prior to 40 years of age. Compared with BRCA2 variant carriers (80 [46.5%]), women with BRCA1 variants (92 [53.5%]) were younger at breast cancer diagnosis and tended to have more advanced tumors, which were more likely to be hormone receptor negative and higher grade. At a median follow-up of 11.8 years (IQR, 5.7-18.2 years), estimates of 10-year survival and risk were: overall survival, 88.5% (95% CI, 83.1%-94.2%); bilateral mastectomy-free survival, 70.7% (95% CI, 63.3%-78.9%); risk of an ipsilateral breast cancer event, 12.2% (95% CI, 5.8%-18.2%); and risk of contralateral cancer, 21.3% (95% CI, 13.3%-28.6%). Risks continued to increase after 10 years of follow-up. Conclusions and Relevance: In this cohort study, although women with breast cancer and pathogenic BRCA1/2 variants treated with breast-conserving therapy had above-average risks of ipsilateral and contralateral breast cancer events, most did not have another cancer event and remained bilateral mastectomy free. These findings may be useful for informing patients with BRCA variants choosing breast conservation.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Current management strategies for early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) include upfront surgery to determine pathologic stage to guide chemotherapy recommendations, or neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) to de-escalate surgery, elucidate tumor response, and determine the role of adjuvant chemotherapy. However, patients who receive NAC with residual pathological nodal (pN) involvement require axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) as they are Z11/AMAROS ineligible. We aimed to evaluate the impact of NAC compared with upfront surgery on pN status and ALND rates in cT1-2N0 TNBC. METHODS: The National Cancer Database (NCDB) was queried for women with operable cT1-2N0 TNBC from 2014 to 2019. Demographic, clinicopathologic, and treatment data were collected. Multivariable linear regression analysis was performed to assess the odds of pN+ disease and undergoing ALND. RESULTS: Overall, 55,624 women were included: 26.9% (n = 14,942) underwent NAC and 73.1% (n = 40,682) underwent upfront surgery. The NAC cohort was younger (mean age 52.9 vs. 61.3 years; p < 0.001) with more cT2 tumors (71.6% vs. 31.0%; p < 0.001), and had lower ALND rates (4.3% vs. 5.5%; p < 0.001). The upfront surgery cohort was more likely to have one to three pathologically positive nodes (12.1% vs. 6.5%; odds ratio [OR] 2.37, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.17-2.58; p < 0.001) but there was no difference in the likelihood of ALND (OR 1.1, 95% CI 0.99-1.24; p = 0.08). CONCLUSION: Patients who underwent upfront surgery were more likely to be pN+; however, ALND rates were similar between the two cohorts. Thus, the use of NAC does not result in a higher odds of ALND and the decision for NAC should be individualized and based on modern guidelines and systemic therapy benefits.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Advanced nodal disease is associated with poor prognosis. However, modern neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) regimens have resulted in higher pathologic complete response (pCR) rates, which are associated with improved survival. We sought to assess contemporary outcomes in patients with advanced nodal involvement and response to NST. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a single-institution, retrospective study of 521 patients with cN2-3 primary nonmetastatic breast cancer treated with NST followed by surgery and radiation from 2012 to 2018. Descriptive statistics, multivariate Cox regression, and Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed. RESULTS: The mean age was 50.5 years, and median follow-up was 61 (4.7 to 197) months. The majority of patients had hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/HER2-negative tumors (HER2-; n = 242, 47.8%). Most were cT2 (n = 243; 46.6%) or cT3 (n = 139; 26.7%) and 73.3% (n = 382) had cN3 disease. Rate of axillary pCR was 34.2%, and breast and axillary pCR was 19.4% (n = 101). Event-free survival (EFS) at 5 years was 75.1% (95% CI, 0.71 to 0.79). Rate of locoregional recurrence was 6.7%; distant metastatic rate was 29.4%. Axillary pCR with or without breast pCR was significantly associated with longer EFS (p = 0.001). Achieving breast/axillary pCR was an independent predictor of improved EFS (hazard ratio 0.22, p < 0.0001). Having triple-negative disease was associated with worse EFS (hazard ratio 1.74, p = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS: In a high-risk cohort of patients with cN2-3 disease, trimodality therapy was effective in achieving durable EFS. Approximately one-third of patients achieved axillary pCR, which was associated with improved survival. Further studies are needed to accurately determine axillary response in cN2-3 breast cancer after NST in order to develop de-escalation strategies to reduce morbidity associated with axillary surgery.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) allows for assessment of tumor pathological response and has survival implications. In 2017, the CREATE-X trial demonstrated survival benefit with adjuvant capecitabine in patients TNBC and residual disease after NAC. We aimed to assess national rates of NAC for cT1-2N0M0 TNBC before and after CREATE-X and examine factors associated with receiving NAC vs adjuvant chemotherapy (AC). METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of women with cT1-2N0M0 TNBC diagnosed from 2014 to 2019 in the National Cancer Database (NCDB) was performed. Variables were analyzed via ANOVA, Chi-squared, Fisher Exact tests, and a multivariate linear regression model was created. RESULTS: 55,633 women were included: 26.9% received NAC, 52.4% AC, and 20.7% received no chemotherapy (median ages 53, 59, and 71 years, p < 0.01). NAC utilization significantly increased over time: 19.5% in 2014-15 (n = 3,465 of 17,777), 27.1% in 2016-17 (n = 5,140 of 18,985), and 33.6% in 2018-19 (n = 6,337 of 18,871, p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, increased NAC was associated with younger age (< 50), non-Hispanic white race/ethnicity, lack of comorbidities, cT2 tumors, care at an academic or integrated-network cancer program, and diagnosis post-2017 (p < 0.05 for all). Patients with government-provided insurance were less likely to receive NAC (p < 0.01). Women who traveled > 60 miles for treatment were more likely to receive NAC (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: From 2014 to 2019, NAC utilization increased for patients with cT1-2N0M0 TNBC. Racial, socioeconomic, and access disparities were observed in who received NAC vs AC and warrants interventions to ensure equitable care.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is known to portend a worse prognosis compared with same-stage, hormone receptor-positive disease. However, with the recent change in practice to include pembrolizumab in neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for TNBC, an increase in pathologic complete responses (pCRs) has been reported. The perioperative repercussions of adding pembrolizumab to standard NAC regimens for TNBC are currently unknown. We aimed to explore the perioperative implications of adding pembrolizumab to standard NAC regimens for non-metastatic TNBC. METHODS: This was a retrospective review of the perioperative outcomes in patients with non-metastatic TNBC treated with pembrolizumab-NAC from January 2018 to October 2022 conducted at a high-volume cancer center. Patient demographics, comorbidities, clinical and pathological staging, NAC treatment regimen, initiation, and completion, as well as date of surgery and postoperative complications were analyzed. RESULTS: Of 87 patients, 67.8% had an overall pCR and 86% had an axillary pCR; 37.2% of cN+ patients were spared from axillary lymph node dissection. However, 24.1% of patients experienced surgical complications, 9% of patients were receiving steroids at the time of breast surgery secondary to adverse effects of pembrolizumab-NAC, and 7% underwent a change in the initial surgical plan such as omission of reconstruction. CONCLUSION: Pembrolizumab-NAC has not only significant oncologic benefit but also noteworthy perioperative implications in the surgical management of TNBC.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine surgical and clinical outcomes of lobular neoplasia (LN) diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biopsy, including upgrade to malignancy, and to assess for characteristics associated with upgrade. METHOD: A single-institution retrospective study, between 2013 and 2022, of patients with histopathological findings of LN via MRI-guided biopsy was performed using an institutional database and review of the electronic medical records. Decision for excision or surveillance was made by a multidisciplinary team per institutional practice. Patient demographics and imaging characteristics were summarized using descriptive analyses. Upgrade was defined as upgrade to cancer on surgical pathology for patients treated with excision or the development of cancer at the biopsy site during surveillance. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test and Fisher's exact test were used to compare features of the upgraded cohort with the remainder of the group. RESULTS: Ninety-four MRI biopsies diagnosing LN were included. Median age was 57 years (range 37-78 years). Forty-six lesions underwent excision while 48 lesions were surveilled. The upgrade rate was 7.4% (7/94). Upgrades in the excised cohort consisted of pleomorphic lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS; n = 1), ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS; n = 3) and invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC; n = 2), while one interval development of DCIS was observed at the site of biopsy in the surveillance cohort. No MRI or patient variables were associated with upgrade. CONCLUSIONS: In this contemporary cohort of MRI-detected LNs, the upgrade rate was low. Omission of surgery for MRI-detected LNs in carefully selected patients may be considered in a shared decision-making capacity between the patient and the treatment team. Larger cohorts are needed to determine factors predictive of upgrade risk.
