ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted excision (VAE) in the treatment of breast benign phyllode tumor and the risk factors of local recurrence after operation.Methods:A total of 256 cases of patients with breast benign phyllode tumor admitted to Yuncheng Central Hospital from January 2012 to January 2020 were included in the retrospective study, they were all female, of which 160 cases received ultrasound-guided VAE surgical treatment and 96 cases received open surgical treatment. Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s), and t-test was used for comparison between groups. The Chi-square test or Fisher exact probability method was used to compare the data groups. Univariate analysis was performed on the factors related to the local recurrence of benign phyllode tumor after surgery, and then the factors with statistically significant differences in the univariate analysis were further incorporated into multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results:Univariate analysis results showed that the maximum diameter of tumor ≥25 mm and the history of ipsilateral breast fibroadenoma were associated with postoperative local recurrence of breast benign phyllodes tumor ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis results showed that tumor diameter ≥25 mm was an independent risk factor for postoperative local recurrence of breast benign phyllodes tumor ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided VAE in the treatment of breast benign phyllodes tumor patients with maximum diameter less than 25 mm can reduce the postoperative local recurrence rate, and patients with tumor maximum diameter greater than 25 mm should have the higher local recurrence risk.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the tendency of elderly patients with breast cancer in the choice of treatment methods and related influencing factors.Methods:The data of 312 elderly patients with unilateral breast cancer treated in Yuncheng Central Hospital from January 2013 to December 2017 were collected for retrospective analysis. All patients' treatment options were analyzed, and the age of patients who chose different treatment options was compared. Univariate and logistic regression were used to analyze the chemotherapy choice tendency of elderly breast cancer patients, and Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze the influencing factors of 5-year survival of elderly breast cancer patients.Results:In the whole patient population, the selection rates of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy and targeted therapy were respectively 97.44% (304/312), 81.41% (254/312), 7.05% (22/312), 68.27% (213/312), 3.85% (32/312). The mean age of all patients was (67.94±6.55) years. There were no statistically significant differences in the age of patients with different treatment methods (all P>0.05). The results of univariate analysis showed that, there were statistically significant differences in the depth of invasive cancer ( t=3.11, P=0.002), number of axillary lymph node metastasis ( t=6.54, P<0.001), comorbidities ( t=-4.85, P<0.001) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score ( t=-4.56, P<0.001) between chemotherapy and non-chemotherapy patients, and there were no statistically significant differences in age ( t=-0.52, P=0.604), pathological type ( χ2=4.96, P=0.084), surgical type ( χ2=0.21, P=0.899), tumor differentiation degree ( χ2=3.28, P=0.194), estrogen receptor ( χ2=0.99, P=0.321), progesterone receptor ( χ2=0.89, P=0.346), and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 ( χ2=0.58, P=0.445). The results of multifactor analysis showed that types of comorbidities ( OR=0.91, 95% CI: 0.85-0.99, P=0.024) and ECOG score ( OR=0.95, 95% CI: 0.92-0.99, P=0.007) were independent influencing factors for the use of chemotherapy after surgery in elderly breast cancer patients. A total of 74 patients died within 5 years after surgery, and the 5-year overall survival rate was 76.28%. More axillary lymph node metastasis ( RR=1.26, 95% CI: 1.09-1.46, P=0.001) and more complications ( RR=1.07, 95% CI: 1.02-1.13, P=0.007) were risk factors for prognosis. Conclusion:Surgery and chemotherapy are the main treatment methods for elderly patients with breast cancer. ECOG score and number of complications can directly affect the results of chemotherapy selection for such patients, the number of axillary lymph node metastasis and complications had significant influence on the long-term survival of the patients.
