Ultrasonographic accuracy in evaluating response of clipped lymph nodes in targeted axillary dissection in breast cancer.
Sci Rep

Department of Medical Pathology, Ege University Faculty of Medicine, Ege University Hospital, Bornova, İzmir, Turkey.
This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in assessing the response of clipped axillary lymph nodes to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Between February 2022 and September 2023, 43 patients who underwent axillary lymph node marking for targeted axillary dissection were retrospectively analyzed. Ultrasonography parameters such as the number, size, shape, cortical thickness, hilum status, and treatment response of the clipped lymph node were assessed.

Objective: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has been the primary treatment method for patients with local advanced breast cancer. A pathological complete response (pCR) to therapy correlates with better overall disease prognosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) have been widely used to monitor the response to NACT in breast cancer.

Breast desmoid tumour is a rare type of benign breast disease that presents like malignancy. Current guidelines are based on limited evidence derived from case reports and small case series and recommend resection with microscopically-negative margin (R0). There is a high risk of recurrence despite negative surgical margins.

Article Synopsis
- The introduction discusses challenges in achieving flat closure during oncologic mastectomy in obese patients and introduces the angel wing (AW) technique as a solution.
- A retrospective study at an academic center evaluated the safety of the AW technique by analyzing postoperative arm lymphedema (AL) and decreased range of motion (dROM) in patients who underwent mastectomy with and without this technique.
- Results showed no significant difference in the incidence of AL or dROM between the AW and non-AW groups, suggesting that the AW technique is a safe option for achieving effective surgical outcomes in obese patients postmastectomy.
Effect of Estrogen Receptor on the Relationship Between HER2 Immunohistochemistry Score and Pathological Complete Response to Neoadjuvant Treatment in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer.

We aimed to investigate whether estrogen receptor (ER) status affects the predictive role of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) immunohistochemistry (IHC) score on the efficacy of neoadjuvant treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer. This retrospective study comprised 167 individuals diagnosed with HER2-positive invasive breast cancer who had undergone neoadjuvant treatment and surgery. Uni- and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed on the relationship between the HER2 IHC score and total pathological complete response (tpCR), breast pathological complete response (bpCR), or axillary partial response (apCR).
