Ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence in early stage breast cancer patients treated with breast conserving surgery and adjuvant radiation therapy: Concordance of biomarkers and tumor location from primary tumor to in-breast tumor recurrence.

Background: Patients with an in-breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) after breast-conserving therapy have a high risk of distant metastasis and disease-related mortality. Classifying clinical parameters that increase risk for recurrence after IBTR remains a challenge.

Aim: To describe primary and recurrent tumor characteristics in patients who experience an IBTR and understand the relationship between these characteristics and disease outcomes.

The Relationship of Race, Oncotype DX, and Ki67 in a Population Highly Screened For Breast Cancer.

Oncotype DX recurrence score (ODX) can predict risk of invasive breast cancer recurrence and benefit of chemotherapy. Literature is limited on the relationship of ODX and race in women with hormone receptor positive and node negative/positive disease. Our study examines the relationship between race and clinical characteristics within a population of highly screened women with newly diagnosed breast cancer.

Oncologic outcomes after nipple-sparing mastectomy: A single-institution experience.

Introduction: Long-term oncologic outcomes in nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) continue to be defined. Rates of locoregional recurrence for skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) and NSM in the literature range from 0% to 14.3%.
