Background: Age is an important prognostic factor in breast cancer. The target age to screen is under debate.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the influence of age on the diagnosis and survival among women with breast cancer.
Article Synopsis
- Oncoplastic surgery offers a breast-conserving option for patients with larger or more complex tumors, and has been increasingly applied in breast cancer treatment.
- A study involving 866 women revealed that oncoplastic patients were younger and had fewer comorbidities, yet faced more complications like scar dehiscence compared to those who underwent nononcoplastic surgery.
- Despite these complications, oncoplastic surgery led to fewer cases needing additional surgeries for margin re-excision, with no significant differences in major complications, mastectomy conversions, or local recurrences between the two groups.
Objective: To evaluate the number of patients with early-stage breast cancer who could benefit from the omission of axillary surgery following the application of the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology (ACOSOG) Z0011 trial criteria.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study conducted in the Hospital da Mulher da Universidade Estadual de Campinas. The study population included 384 women diagnosed with early-stage invasive breast cancer, clinically negative axilla, treated with breast-conserving surgery and sentinel lymph node biopsy, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and/or endocrine therapy, from January 2005 to December 2010.

Objective: To identify the biomarkers of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in early luminal breast cancer.
Methods: A cross-sectional study that included all patients with early or locally-advanced luminal breast cancer submitted to neoadjuvant chemotherapy between 2013 and 2014. Demographic, clinic and pathologic data were retrieved from patient records.
