ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Radial scars/radial sclerosing lesions (RS) are benign breast lesions identified on core needle biopsy (CNB) which can upgrade to malignancy at excision. There is limited data on RS detection and upgrade rates with more sensitive imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and none during their detection for breast cancer workup and its implication on patient treatment decisions. METHODS: A retrospective institutional study of RS diagnosed on CNB between January 2008 and December 2017 was conducted. Clinicopathologic and radiologic features of RS, patient treatment decisions, upgrade rates and long-term follow-up were examined. RESULTS: We identified 133 patients with RS on CNB, of whom 106 opted for surgery for an upgrade rate to malignancy of 1.9%, 2 patients. Radial scar was diagnosed on mammogram in 60%, MRI in 25% and ultrasound in 15% of patients. In this cohort, 32 patients had their RS detected during breast cancer workup (coexistent group) and they were more likely to have their radial scar detected by MRI (60% vs. 14%, P < .001) and undergo more extensive surgery (94% vs. 75%, P = .02). Among the 27 patients electing observation of their RS, only one (3.7%) developed breast cancer. CONCLUSIONS: Our results show an extremely low upgrade rate to malignancy of RS, regardless if there is coexisting breast cancer elsewhere. Despite this, RS still prompted more extensive surgical excisions. The findings do not support excision of RS even among breast cancer patients when identified at a separate site from their cancer.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Axillary surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is becoming less extensive. We evaluated the evolution of axillary surgery after NAC on the multi-institutional I-SPY2 prospective trial. METHODS: We examined annual rates of sentinel lymph node (SLN) surgery with resection of clipped node, if present), axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), and SLN and ALND in patients enrolled in I-SPY2 from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2021 by clinical N status at diagnosis and pathologic N status at surgery. Cochran-Armitage trend tests were calculated to evaluate patterns over time. RESULTS: Of 1578 patients, 973 patients (61.7%) had SLN-only, 136 (8.6%) had SLN and ALND, and 469 (29.7%) had ALND-only. In the cN0 group, ALND-only decreased from 20% in 2011 to 6.25% in 2021 (p = 0.0078) and SLN-only increased from 70.0% to 87.5% (p = 0.0020). This was even more striking in patients with clinically node-positive (cN+) disease at diagnosis, where ALND-only decreased from 70.7% to 29.4% (p < 0.0001) and SLN-only significantly increased from 14.6% to 56.5% (p < 0.0001). This change was significant across subtypes (HR-/HER2-, HR+/HER2-, and HER2+). Among pathologically node-positive (pN+) patients after NAC (n = 525) ALND-only decreased from 69.0% to 39.2% (p < 0.0001) and SLN-only increased from 6.9% to 39.2% (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Use of ALND after NAC has significantly decreased over the past decade. This is most pronounced in cN+ disease at diagnosis with an increase in the use of SLN surgery after NAC. Additionally, in pN+ disease after NAC, there has been a decrease in use of completion ALND, a practice pattern change that precedes results from clinical trials.

ABSTRACT

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) increases rates of successful breast-conserving surgery (BCS) in patients with breast cancer. However, some studies suggest that BCS after NAC may confer an increased risk of locoregional recurrence (LRR). We assessed LRR rates and locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRFS) in patients enrolled on I-SPY2 (NCT01042379), a prospective NAC trial for patients with clinical stage II to III, molecularly high-risk breast cancer. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate associations between surgical procedure (BCS vs mastectomy) and LRFS adjusted for age, tumor receptor subtype, clinical T category, clinical nodal status, and residual cancer burden (RCB). In 1462 patients, surgical procedure was not associated with LRR or LRFS on either univariate or multivariate analysis. The unadjusted incidence of LRR was 5.4% after BCS and 7.0% after mastectomy, at a median follow-up time of 3.5 years. The strongest predictor of LRR was RCB class, with each increasing RCB class having a significantly higher hazard ratio for LRR compared with RCB 0 on multivariate analysis. Triple-negative receptor subtype was also associated with an increased risk of LRR (hazard ratio: 2.91, 95% CI: 1.8-4.6, P < 0.0001), regardless of the type of operation. In this large multi-institutional prospective trial of patients completing NAC, we found no increased risk of LRR or differences in LRFS after BCS compared with mastectomy. Tumor receptor subtype and extent of residual disease after NAC were significantly associated with recurrence. These data demonstrate that BCS can be an excellent surgical option after NAC for appropriately selected patients.

ABSTRACT

Purpose/Objective: We present our single-institution experience in the management of invasive breast cancer with targeted intraoperative radiotherapy (TARGIT-IORT), focusing on patient suitability for IORT determined by the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) consensus guidelines. Materials/Methods: We identified 237 patients treated for biopsy-proven early-stage invasive breast cancer using low energy x-ray TARGIT-IORT at the time of lumpectomy between September 2013 and April 2020 who were prospectively enrolled in an institutional review board (IRB) approved database. We retrospectively reviewed preoperative and postoperative clinicopathologic factors to determine each patient's ASTRO APBI suitability (suitable, cautionary or unsuitable) according to the 2017 consensus guidelines (CG). Change in suitability group was determined based on final pathology. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to estimate the survival probability and recurrence probability across time. Results: 237 patients were included in this analysis, based on preoperative clinicopathologic characteristics, 191 (80.6%) patients were suitable, 46 (19.4%) were cautionary and none were deemed unsuitable. Suitability classification changed in 95 (40%) patients based on final pathology from lumpectomy. Increasing preoperative lesion size or a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2 were significant predictors for suitability group change. Forty-one (17.3%) patients received additional adjuvant whole breast radiotherapy after TARGIT-IORT. At a median follow up of 38.2 months (range 0.4 - 74.5), five (2.1%) patients had ipsilateral breast tumor recurrences (IBTR), including two (0.8%) true local recurrences defined as a recurrence in the same quadrant as the initial lumpectomy bed with the same histology as the initial tumor. IBTR occurred in 1/103 (0.09%) patient in the post-op suitable group, 4/98 (4.08%) patients in the post-op cautionary group, and no patients in the post-op unsuitable group. At 3-years, the overall survival rate was 98.4% and the local recurrence free survival rate was 97.1%. Conclusion: There is a low rate of IBTR after TARGIT-IORT when used in appropriately selected patients. Change in suitability classification pre to postoperatively is common, highlighting a need for further investigation to optimize preoperative patient risk stratification in this setting. Patients who become cautionary or unsuitable based on final pathology should be considered for additional adjuvant therapy.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Re-excision for positive margins (margins where tumor is positive) after breast conserving surgery (BCS) is common and burdensome for breast cancer patients. Routine shave margins can reduce positive margins and re-excision rates. Cavity shaving margin (CSM) removes margins from the lumpectomy cavity edges, whereas specimen shave margin (SSM) requires ex vivo removal of margins from the resected specimen. METHODS: We assessed breast cancer patients undergoing BCS who received CSM or SSM procedures from 2017 to 2019. CSM and SSM techniques were compared by analyzing positive rates of primary and final shaved margins, re-excision rates, and tissue volumes removed. RESULTS: Of 116 patients included in this study, 57 underwent CSM and 59 underwent SSM. Primary margins were positive or close in 19 CSM patients and 21 SSM patients (33% versus 36%; P = 0.798). Seventeen CSM patients had a tumor in shaved margin specimens, compared to four patients for SSM (30% versus 7%; P < 0.001); however, final shave margins were similar (5% versus 5%; P = 0.983). Volumes of shave specimens were higher with SSM (40.7 versus 13.4 cm3; P < 0.001), but there was no significant difference in the total volume removed (146.8 versus 134.4 cm3; P = 0.540). For tumors 2 cm or larger, the total volume removed (140 versus 206 cm3; P = 0.432) and rates of final margin positivity (7.5% versus 0%; P = 0.684) were similar for both techniques. CONCLUSIONS: CSM and SSM are effective techniques for achieving low re-excision rates. Our findings suggest that surgeons performing either CSM or SSM may maintain operative preferences and achieve similar results.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Practices regarding recovery after mastectomy vary significantly, including overnight stay versus discharge same day. Expanded use of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) algorithms and the recent COVID pandemic have led to increased number of patients who undergo home recovery after mastectomy (HRAM). METHODS: The Patient Safety Quality Committee of the American Society of Breast Surgeons created a multispecialty working group to review the literature evaluating HRAM after mastectomy with and without implant-based reconstruction. A literature review was performed regarding this topic; the group then developed guidance for patient selection and tools for implementation. RESULTS: Multiple, retrospective series have reported that patients discharged day of mastectomy have similar risk of complications compared with those kept overnight, including risk of hematoma (0-5.1%). Multimodal strategies that improve nausea and analgesia improve likelihood of HRAM. Patients who undergo surgery in ambulatory surgery centers and by high-volume breast surgeons are more likely to be discharged day of surgery. When evaluating unplanned return to care, the only significant factors are African American race and increased comorbidities. CONCLUSIONS: Review of current literature demonstrates that HRAM is a safe option in appropriate patients. Choice of method of recovery should consider patient factors, such as comorbidities and social situation, and requires input from the multidisciplinary team. Preoperative education regarding pain management, drain care, and after-hour access to medical care are crucial components to a successful program. Additional investigation is needed as these programs become more prevalent to assess quality measures such as unplanned return to care, complications, and patient satisfaction.

ABSTRACT

Breast cancer survivors have reduced peak aerobic capacity (VO2peak) which may be related to latent or lingering chemotherapy induced cardiac damage. Nine, older (67 ± 3 years), long-term survivors (9.8 years) of anthracycline based chemotherapy and age- and sex-matched healthy controls were recruited and tested to determine whether: i) VO2peak remains reduced in long-term survivorship; and ii) reductions in VO2peak are due to cardiac dysfunction. VO2peak was significantly reduced in breast cancer survivors relative to healthy controls (15.9 ± 2.0 vs 19.9 ± 3.1 ml/kg/min, p = 0.006), however the heart rate and stroke volume responses to exercise were normal (heart rate reserve; 88 ± 9 vs 85 ± 10 bpm, p = 0.62: stroke volume reserve; 13 ± 6 vs 13 ± 9 ml,p = 0.94). These findings indicate low-normal ventricular size in long-term breast cancer survivors, but normal reserve function.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The correct "dosing" of neuropsychological assessment is of interest for the purposes of cost management and the personalization of medicine/assessment. In this context, embedded IQ screening, rather than routine comprehensive IQ testing, may be useful in identifying youth at risk for Intellectual Disability (ID) for whom further assessment is needed. This retrospective, cross-sectional study examined subtests from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fifth Edition (WISC-5) needed to identify youth with Full Scale IQ (FSIQ) ≤75. METHOD: Data were obtained from a large pediatric clinically referred sample (N = 4,299; Mean Age = 10.7 years; Range = 6-16y; 66% male; 54% White; 29% receiving Public Insurance), divided into training (n = 2149) and test (n = 2150) samples. RESULTS: In the training sample, sequential and additive regression-based models for predicting FSIQ comprised of one (Block Design [BD]), two (BD + Similarities [SI]), three (BD + SI + Matrix Reasoning [MR]), and four (BD + SI + MR + Digit Span [DS]) subtests of the WISC-5 explained 61.3%, 82.7%, 88.5%, and 93.0% of FSIQ variance, respectively. Using a predicted FSIQ ≤ 80 as a cut score to identify persons with observed FSIQ ≤75, the two subtest (BD + SI) model showed strong sensitivity (83.4), specificity (90.5), and negative predictive value (96.2) in the test sample; however, positive predictive value was low (65.3%). Three and four subtest models provided incremental, but modest gains in classification metrics. CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest the first several subtests of the WISC-5 can be used to identify clinically referred youth at risk for ID who subsequently require full administration of the WISC-5 for consideration of an ID diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: We report on our early experience of our prospective multicenter phase 1 dose- escalation study of single-fraction stereotactic partial breast irradiation (S-PBI) for early stage breast cancer after partial mastectomy using a robotic stereotactic radiation system. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Thirty women with in situ or invasive breast cancer stage 0, I, or II with tumor size <3 cm treated with lumpectomy were enrolled in this phase 1 single-fraction S-PBI dose-escalation trial. Women received either 22.5, 26.5, or 30 Gy in a single fraction using a robotic stereotactic radiation system. The primary outcome was to reach tumoricidal dose of 30 Gy in a single fraction to the lumpectomy cavity without exceeding the maximum tolerated dose. Secondary outcomes were to determine dose-limiting toxicity and cosmesis. Tertiary goals were ipsilateral breast recurrence rate, distant disease-free interval, recurrence-free survival, and overall survival. RESULTS: From June 2016 to January 2021, 11, 8, and 10 patients were treated to doses of 22.5, 26.5, or 30 Gy in a single fraction, respectively, with median follow-up being 47.9, 25.1, and 16.2 months. No patients experienced acute (<90 days) grade 3 or higher treatment-related toxicity, and maximum tolerated dose was not reached. There were 2 delayed grade 3 toxicities. Four patients (13.8%) developed fat necrosis across all 3 cohorts, which compares favorably with results from other PBI trials. No dose cohort had a statistically significant cosmetic detriment from baseline to 12 months or 24 months follow-up by patient- or physician-reported global cosmetic scores. There were no reports of disease recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: This phase 1 trial demonstrates that S-PBI can be used to safely escalate dose to 30 Gy in a single fraction with low toxicity and without detriment in cosmesis relative to baseline.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Increasing usage of multigene panel testing has identified more patients with pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P or LP) variants in low-moderate penetrance genes or variants of uncertain significance (VUS). Our study evaluates the association between genetic test results and contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) among patients with breast cancer. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study among women diagnosed with unilateral stage 0-III breast cancer between 2013 and 2020 who underwent genetic testing. We examined whether genetic test results were associated with CPM using multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS: Among 707 racially or ethnically diverse women, most had benign or likely benign (B or LB) variants, whereas 12.5% had P or LP and 17.9% had VUS. Racial or ethnic minorities were twice as likely to receive VUS. Patients with P or LP variants had higher CPM rates than VUS or B or LB (64.8% v 25.8% v 25.9%), and highest among women with P or LP variants in high-penetrance genes (74.6%). On multivariable analysis, P or LP compared with B or LB variants were significantly associated with CPM (odds ratio = 4.24; 95% CI, 2.48 to 7.26). CONCLUSION: Women with P or LP variants on genetic testing were over four times more likely to undergo CPM than B or LB. Those with VUS had similar CPM rates as B or LB. Our findings suggest appropriate genetic counseling and communication of cancer risk to multiethnic breast cancer survivors.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) has gained popularity for early stage breast cancer treatment. Few studies have examined the relationship between complications and both demographic and technical factors. The objective of the current study was to determine if applicator size or distances to the skin were significant risk factors for complications. METHODS: Data was prospectively collected on patients who underwent lumpectomy followed by IORT from November 1, 2013 to August 31, 2018. Exclusion criteria included any prior radiation exposure or personal history of breast cancer. Comorbid conditions such as body mass index, diabetes, and smoking as well as technical specifications such as applicator size and distances to the skin were included for investigation. Student's t-test, Fisher's exact test, and odds ratios were utilized for statistical analysis. RESULTS: The study was comprised of 219 patients. None developed Clavien-Dindo grade 2 or above complications. Of 21.0% (n = 46) had minor complications. The most common complication was a palpable breast seroma (n = 37). Diabetes was the only comorbid condition with increased risk for complications (OR 3.2; 95% CI1.3-7.5; P = 0.008). The applicator sizes and average skin distances were similar between groups. Surprisingly, the closest skin distance was not a significant risk factor for post-operative complications (1.4 +/- 1.6 versus 1.4 +/- 1.9 cm; P = 1.0). CONCLUSION: Neither applicator size nor the closest skin distance were associated with increased complications. Traditionally described risk factors such as BMI and smoking were not predictive. This data provides support for potentially expanding the utilization for IORT without increasing complications.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Incidence of breast cancer (BC), particularly in young women, are rising in India. Without population-based mammography screening, rising rates cannot be attributed to screening. Investigations are needed to understand the potential drivers of this trend. METHODS: An international team of experts convened to discuss the trends, environmental exposures, and clinical implications associated with BC in India and outlined recommendations for its management. RESULTS: Panels were structured across three major BC themes (n = 10 presentations). The symposium concluded with a semi-structured Think Tank designed to elicit short-term and long-term goals that could address the challenges of BC in India. CONCLUSION: There was consensus that the prevalence of late-stage BC and the high BC mortality rates are associated with the practice of detection, which is primarily through clinical and self-breast exams, as opposed to mammography. Triple-Negative BC (TNBC) was extensively discussed, including TNBC etiology and potential risk factors, the limited treatment options, and if reported TNBC rates are supported by rigorous scientific evidence. The Think Tank session yielded long-term and short-term goals to further BC reduction in India and included more regional etiological studies on environmental exposures using existing India-based cohorts and case-control studies, standardization for molecular subtyping of BC cases, and improving the public's awareness of breast health.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Our purpose was to evaluate cosmetic changes after 5-fraction adjuvant stereotactic partial breast irradiation (S-PBI). METHODS AND MATERIALS: Seventy-five women with in situ or invasive breast cancer stage 0, I, or II, with tumor size ≤3 cm, were enrolled after lumpectomy in a phase 1 dose escalation trial of S-PBI into cohorts receiving 30, 32.5, 35, 37.5, or 40 Gy in 5 fractions. Before S-PBI, 3 to 4 gold fiducial markers were placed in the lumpectomy cavity for tracking with the Synchrony respiratory tracking system. S-PBI was delivered with a CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery system. Patients and physicians evaluated global cosmesis using the Harvard Breast Cosmesis Scale. Eight independent panelists evaluated digital photography for global cosmesis and 10 subdomains at baseline and follow-up. McNemar tests were used to evaluate change in cosmesis, graded as excellent/good or fair/poor, from baseline to year 3. Wilcoxon signed rank tests were used to evaluate change in subdomains. Cohen's kappa (κ) statistic was used to estimate interobserver agreement (IOA) between raters, and Fleiss' κ was used to estimate IOA between panelists. RESULTS: Median cosmetic follow-up was 5, 5, 5, 4, and 3 years for the 30, 32.5, 35, 37.5, and 40 Gy cohorts. Most patients reported excellent/good cosmesis at both baseline (86.3%) and year 3 (89.8%). No dose cohort had significantly worsened cosmesis by year 3 on McNemar analysis. No cosmetic subdomain had significant worsening by year 3. IOA was fair for patient-physician (κ = 0.300, P < .001), patient-panel (κ = 0.295, P < .001), physician-panel (κ = 0.256, P < .001), and individual panelists (Fleiss κ = 0.327, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Dose escalation of S-PBI from 30 to 40 Gy in 5 fractions for early stage breast cancer was not associated with a detectable change in cosmesis by year 3. S-PBI is a promising modality for treatment of early stage breast cancer.

ABSTRACT

Opioid overdose accounted for more than 47,000 deaths in the United States in 2018. The risk of new persistent opioid use following breast cancer surgery is significant, with up to 10% of patients continuing to fill opioid prescriptions one year after surgery. Over prescription of opioids is far too common. A recent study suggested that up to 80% of patients receiving a prescription for opioids post-operatively do not need them (either do not fill the prescription or do not use the medication). In order to address this important issue, The American Society of Breast Surgeons empaneled an inter-disciplinary committee to develop a consensus statement on pain control for patients undergoing breast surgery. Representatives were nominated by the American College of Surgeons, the Society of Surgical Oncology, The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and The American Society of Anesthesiologists. A broad literature review followed by a more focused review was performed by the inter-disciplinary panel which was comprised of 14 experts in the fields of breast surgery, anesthesiology, plastic surgery, rehabilitation medicine, and addiction medicine. Through a process of multiple revisions, a consensus was developed, resulting in the outline for decreased opioid use in patients undergoing breast surgery presented in this manuscript. The final document was reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors of the American Society of Breast Surgeons.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study reports predictive dosimetric and physiologic factors for fat necrosis after stereotactic-partial breast irradiation (S-PBI). METHODS AND MATERIALS: Seventy-five patients with ductal carcinoma-in situ or invasive nonlobular epithelial histologies stage 0, I, or II, with tumor size <3 cm were enrolled in a dose-escalation, phase I S-PBI trial between January 2011 and July 2015. Fat necrosis was evaluated clinically at each follow-up. Treatment data were extracted from the Multiplan Treatment Planning System (Cyberknife, Accuray). Univariate and stepwise logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with palpable fat necrosis. RESULTS: With a median follow-up of 61 months (range: 4.3-99.5 months), 11 patients experienced palpable fat necrosis, 5 cases of which were painful. The median time to development of fat necrosis was 12.7 months (range, 3-42 months). On univariate analyses, higher V32.5-47.5 Gy (P < .05) and larger breast volume (P < .01) were predictive of any fat necrosis; higher V35-50 Gy (P < .05), receiving 2 treatments on consecutive days (P = .02), and higher Dmax (P = .01) were predictive of painful fat necrosis. On multivariate analyses, breast volume larger than 1063 cm3 remained a predictive factor for any fat necrosis; receiving 2 treatments on consecutive days and higher V45 Gy were predictive of painful fat necrosis. Breast laterality, planning target volume (PTV), race, body mass index, diabetic status, and tobacco or drug use were not significantly associated with fat necrosis on univariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Early-stage breast cancer patients treated with breast conserving surgery and S-PBI in our study had a fat necrosis rate comparable to other accelerated partial breast irradiation modalities, but S-PBI is less invasive. To reduce risk of painful fat necrosis, we recommend not delivering fractions on consecutive days; limiting V42.5 < 50 cm3, V45 < 20 cm3, V47.5 < 1 cm3, Dmax ≤ 48 Gy and PTV < 100 cm3 when feasible; and counseling patients about the increased risk for fat necrosis when constraints are not met and for those with breast volume >1000 cm3.
