Background: De-intensification of anti-cancer therapy without significantly affecting outcomes is an important goal. Omission of axillary surgery or breast radiation is considered a reasonable option in elderly patients with early-stage breast cancer and good prognostic factors. Data on avoidance of both axillary surgery and radiation therapy (RT) is scarce and inconclusive.

De-Escalation of Nodal Surgery in Clinically Node-Positive Breast Cancer.

JAMA Surg

January 2025

Breast Unit, Department of General Surgery, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Türkiye.

Importance: Increasing evidence supports the oncologic safety of de-escalating axillary surgery for patients with breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

Objective: To evaluate the oncologic outcomes of de-escalating axillary surgery among patients with clinically node (cN)-positive breast cancer and patients whose disease became cN negative after NAC (ycN negative).

Design, Setting, And Participants: In the NEOSENTITURK MF-1803 prospective cohort registry trial, patients from 37 centers with cT1-4N1-3M0 disease treated with sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) or targeted axillary dissection (TAD) alone or with ypN-negative or ypN-positive disease after NAC were recruited between February 15, 2019, and January 1, 2023, and evaluated.

Article Synopsis
  • * Out of 224 patients, 63 underwent ALND due to persistent positive lymph nodes, revealing that the number of positive sentinel lymph nodes is a key predictor of additional nodal involvement.
  • * The results suggest that for patients with fewer than 2 positive sentinel lymph nodes after treatment, less invasive surgery (SLNB alone) may be a safe option, helping to inform surgical decisions for better locoregional control.

Advances in Vulvar Cancer Biology and Management.

J Clin Oncol

January 2025

Division of Medical Oncology and Hematology, Odette Cancer Centre, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, ON, Canada.

Purpose: Vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC), a rare gynecologic malignancy, has been rising in incidence. Molecular classification on the basis of human papilloma virus (HPV) and tumor protein 53 (p53) status has identified three clinically distinct subtypes, but we still treat all VSCCs the same. Here, we review molecular classification of VSCC, outline treatment landscape, and highlight potential for targeted therapies in advanced VSCC.
