Receptor discordance after nipple-sparing mastectomy.

Background: Recent studies have shown that receptor status of breast cancer change between primary tumor and recurrence, which may influence treatment strategy and prognosis, but there are few reports on receptor discordance between primary tumors and local recurrence (LR) after nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM).

Patients And Methods: We collected 74 patients who had LR after NSM for newly diagnosed stages 0 to 3 breast cancer between 2008 and 2016 at 14 institutions. We classified into 4 subtypes based on hormone receptor (HR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2).

The sleep for health study: A randomized clinical trial of the impact of insomnia treatment on glycemia in people with prediabetes.

Background: Insomnia is a modifiable risk factor for type 2 diabetes.

Objective: Describe the methodology for the Sleep for Health study, a randomized clinical trial examining the effectiveness of digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (dCBT-I) in reducing hyperglycemia in 300 people with both insomnia and prediabetes.

Outcomes: Primary outcome is glucose level 2 h after a 75-g glucose load.

Real-world progression-free survival and overall survival of palbociclib plus endocrine therapy (ET) in Japanese patients with hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative advanced breast cancer in the first-line or second-line setting: an observational study.

Background: A recent large real-world study conducted in the United States reported the effectiveness of palbociclib plus aromatase inhibitor in HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer (ABC). However, local clinical practice and available medical treatment can vary between Japan and Western countries. Thus, it is important to investigate Japanese real-world data.

Patient Preference for Surgical Methods for Ipsilateral Breast Tumor Recurrence.

Background: Mastectomy has been the standard surgical treatment for ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR). Recently, there has been growing interest in repeat breast-conserving surgery (rBCS) for IBTR among breast surgeons; however, there is currently little information regarding patient preferences for surgical procedure for IBTR. The purpose of this study was to evaluate preference for surgical procedure (mastectomy vs.
