[Extensive transfixing skin necrosis after breast biopsy under local anesthesia: About four cases].

Introduction: Local anesthetics with adrenaline are widely used in routine practice and have long proven their benefits and safety. The rare complications due to their use mainly concern immuno-allergic and vascular mechanisms.

Description: In this article, we present four similar cases of early transfixing skin necrosis occurring after radioguided breast biopsy under local anesthesia using epinephrine local anesthetics in the context of a diagnostic approach to breast cancer.

Identification of patients with ductal carcinoma in situ at high risk of postoperative upstaging: A comprehensive review and an external (un)validation of predictive models developed.

Background: Between 8% and 56% of pure ductal carcinoma in situ are upstaged to microinvasive or invasive carcinoma on definitive pathological examination. The first objective of this study was to perform a comprehensive review of the literature on factors associated with increased risk of pre-operative underestimation. The second objective was to perform an external validation of the predictive models developed to enable their use in daily practice if relevant.

PD-L1 expression with QR1 and E1L3N antibodies according to histological ovarian cancer subtype: A series of 232 cases.

Therapeutic strategies for epithelial ovarian cancers are evolving with the advent of immunotherapy, such as PD-L1 inhibitors, with encouraging results. However, little data are available on PDL-1 expression in ovarian cancers. Thus, we set out to determine the PD-L1 expression according to histological subtype.

False negative rate at F-FDG PET/CT in para-aortic lymphnode involvement in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer: impact of PET technology.

Background: The identification of factors responsible for false negative (FN) rate at F- Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography /Computed Tomography (PET/CT) in para-aortic (PA) lymph nodes in the presurgical staging of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) is challenging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of PET/CT technology.

Methods: A total of 240 consecutive patients with LACC (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, FIGO, stage IB2-IVA) and negative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and/or Computed Tomography (CT) and negative F-FDG PET/CT in the PA region, undergoing laparoscopic PA lymphadenectomy before chemoradiotherapy were included.

Predicting the likelihood of recurrence of pregnancy-associated breast cancer: Nomogram based on analysis of the French cancer network: Cancer Associé à La Grossesse.

Objective: Pregnancy associated breast cancer (PABC) are defined as breast cancer diagnosed during pregnancy and during the year following delivery. The prediction of poor prognosis events (PPE) such as recurrence is a major medical challenge of management for women with PABC. The aim of this study was to build a nomogram based on selected clinical and histological variables to predict recurrence.

[Lymph node management in endometrial cancer].

In 2018, around 382,100 new cases of endometrial cancer (EC) were reported worldwide, accounting for about 4.4% of all new cases of cancer in women. In France, in 2018, the EC is the first gynecological cancer in incidence and the fourth cancer in women.

A rare case of a giant ulcerated benign phyllode tumor.

Phyllode tumors are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms divided into three histological grades according to their potential for malignancy. Low grade tumors are usually smaller with a slower evolution. We present here the case of a 40 year old women presenting an augmentation over one month of the volume of her right breast with an ulcerated mass measuring 25cm.

Could Patients Older than 75 Years Benefit from a Systematic Breast Cancer Screening Program?

Background/aim: To assess prognosis of women aged 75 and older according to breast cancer (BC) diagnosis circumstances.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in the Amiens, France, regional oncologic referral center between 2005 and 2015. Two groups were formed depending on whether the patients followed clinical manifestations (CM) or a prescribed systematic mammography (SM).
