Background: To investigate ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) in patients who have undergone breast-conserving surgery (BCS) after neoadjuvant systematic therapy (NST).

Method: Three hundred and twenty-one patients undergoing BCS after NST and 2,534 patients undergoing initial BCS from June 2008 to June 2017 at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were retrospectively enrolled, and statistical analyses, including propensity score matching, were applied to compare IBTR-free survival. The main factors related to IBTR in the NST group were estimated utilizing univariate and multivariate analyses.

Results: After propensity score matching, the 3-year IBTR-free survival rates were 93.7% (95% CI, 90.6-96.8%) in the NST group and 96.9% (95% CI, 94.9-98.9%) in the matched initial BCS group at a median follow-up period of 58 months. IBTR-free survival did not differ statistically between the two groups (P=0.154). According to multivariate analysis in the NST group, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status and pathologic ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) constituent were the factors related to IBTR after BCS.

Conclusions: BCS after NST and initial BCS have equivalent IBTR-free survival. BCS after NST is a safe and effective therapy in terms of IBTR.

Article Synopsis
  • The study highlights the differences in locoregional recurrence and contralateral breast cancer based on molecular subtypes of breast cancer.
  • A total of 16,462 female patients were analyzed, with significant findings showing HR-/ERBB2+ tumors had the worst outcomes for ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence and HR-/ERBB2- the worst for regional and contralateral recurrences.
  • The study emphasizes the importance of tumor subtype analysis as it significantly affects the recurrence patterns, which can guide treatment approaches.

Background And Purpose: To evaluate the long-term outcome of accelerated partial breast irradiation utilizing intraoperatively placed applicator-based brachytherapy (ABB) in early-stage breast cancer.

Materials And Methods: From our prospective registry, 223 patients with pTis-T2, pN0/pN1mic breast cancer were treated with ABB. The median treatment duration including surgery and ABB was 7 days.

Background: Breast-conserving surgery with radiotherapy is one of standard treatments for early breast cancer. However, it is regarded as an option to treat elderly patients with small hormone receptor-positive breast cancer with breast-conserving surgery and hormone therapy without radiotherapy. We conducted two sequential prospective studies to examine the feasibility of breast-conserving surgery without radiotherapy since 2002 and present the results.

Purpose: Surgical margin status is a surrogate marker for residual tumors after breast-conserving surgery (BCS). A comparison of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) rates between re-excision combined with radiotherapy (excision with RTx) and RTx alone, following the confirmation of ductal carcinoma (DCIS) in the resection margin after BCS, has not been reported previously. Therefore, in the present study, the clinical characteristics of DCIS involvement in the surgical resection margin between excision with RTx and RTx alone were investigated, and the IBTR rate was compared.

Aim: While many studies reported the oncological outcomes of oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery (OBCS), there were inherent differences in the study population, surgeons' expertise, and classifications of techniques used. There were also limited studies with long term follow up oncological outcomes beyond 5 years. This current study aimed to compare long-term oncological outcomes of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) following conventional and oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery using volume displacement and replacement techniques.
