BACKGROUND: Patients often ask about the time taken to return to activities of daily living (ADLs) after breast surgery, but there is a lack of data to give accurate guidance. We aimed to assess the feasibility of a study to determine the time taken to return to ADLs after mastectomy with or without breast reconstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective multicentre, self-reported questionnaire-based feasibility study of women who had undergone mastectomy ± reconstruction was performed, between Jan 2017 and Dec 2019...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the prognosis of patients with benign phyllodes tumors (PTs) treated by different surgical methods and to explore the influencing factors of local recurrence. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 215 benign PTs from 193 patients who underwent surgery at Chinese PLA General Hospital between October 2008 and December 2020. We stratified our analysis according to surgical factors and explored the clinicopathological factors to influence local recurrence...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the roles and mechanisms of lncRNA FAM225B and PDIA4 in ovarian cancer. METHODS: RT-qPCR and Western blot assays were performed to detect the expression levels of the lncRNAs FAM225B, DDX17, and PDIA4 in the serum of patients with ovarian cancer and cell lines. Cells were transfected with lncRNA FAM225B- and PDIA4-related vectors to determine the malignant phenotypes using functional experiments. The mutual binding of lncRNA FAM225B and DDX17 was verified using RNA pull-down and RIP assays...

Tamoxifen is a drug used for treating breast cancer (BC), especially for individuals diagnosed with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) BC. Its prolonged use could reduce the risk of recurrence and significantly lengthen the survival rate of BC patients. However, an increasing number of patients developed resistance to tamoxifen treatment, which reduced therapeutic efficiency and caused substandard prognosis. Therefore, the exploration of the molecular processes involved in tamoxifen resistance (TR) is urgently required...

BACKGROUND: CDK 4/6 inhibitors with hormonal therapy are the standard first-line therapy in metastatic hormonal receptors (HR)-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer. This study aims to assess the impact of neutropenia with 1st cycle, dose reduction, HER2-low status, and other clinicopathological factors on survival outcomes with the first-line palbociclib and hormonal therapy. Patients and Methods . In this retrospective study, we recruited patients with metastatic HR-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer...

INTRODUCTION: Recent trials demonstrated clinically significant benefits in HER2-nonamplified breast cancer with HER2-low expression using novel anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugates. Thus, HER2-low breast cancer was proposed as a separate diagnostic entity. Herein, we reclassify HER2-negative cancers according to the new HER2-low category using a modified system and further investigate HER2-very-low expression. METHODS: 114 HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC)-negative invasive breast tumors were identified from the pathology database of Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL, between January 2019 and August 2022...

INTRODUCTION: The final oncological and aesthetic results of breast-conserving surgery (BCS) are influenced by the precise localization of breast cancer (BC) tumors and by the quality of the intraoperative margin assessment technique. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the carbon localization (CL) technique by determining the success rate of BC identification and the proportion of adequate complete resection of BC lesions. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional retrospective study of patients treated with primary BCS for invasive BC who underwent CL of their BC lesion at the Jules Bordet Institute between January 2015 and December 2017...

BACKGROUND: Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is a novel promising technology that may replace external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) as boost for patients receiving breast-conserving surgery. To better evaluate the efficacy of IORT using low-kilovoltage (low-kV) X-rays as boost, we presented this meta-analysis according to the PRISMA checklist. METHODS: Studies reported survival outcomes of intraoperative radiation using low-kilovoltage X-rays system (Intrabeam®, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA, USA) as boost were identified through electronic bibliographic database: PUBMED...

BACKGROUND: Third-generation aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are the mainstay of treatment in hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer. Even though it is considered to be a well-tolerated therapy, AI-induced musculoskeletal symptoms are common and may be accused for treatment discontinuation. Recently, selective cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors changed the therapeutic setting, and currently, ribociclib, palbociclib, and abemaciclib are all approved in combination with nonsteroidal AIs in patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer...

PURPOSE: In modern breast cancer treatment, a growing role has been observed for breast reconstruction together with an increase in clinical indications for postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT). Choosing the optimum type of reconstructive technique is a clinical challenge. We therefore conducted a national multicenter study to analyze the impact of PMRT on breast reconstruction. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective case-control multicenter study on women undergoing breast reconstruction...

Lobular neoplasia (LN) involves proliferative changes within the breast lobules. LN is divided into lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) and atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH). LCIS can be further subdivided into three subtypes: classic LCIS, pleomorphic LCIS, and LCIS with necrosis (florid type). Because classic LCIS is now considered as a benign etiology, current guidelines recommend close follow-up with imaging versus surgical excision. The goal of our study was to determine if the diagnosis of classic LN on core needle biopsy (CNB) merits surgical excision...

BACKGROUND: Myosin light chain plays a vital regulatory function in a large-scale cellular physiological procedure, however, the role of myosin light chain 5 (MYL5) in breast cancer has not been reported. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the effects of MYL5 on clinical prognosis and immune cell infiltration, and further explore the potential mechanism in breast cancer patients. METHODS: In this study, we first explored the expression pattern and prognostic value of MYL5 in breast cancer across multiple databases, including Oncomine, TCGA, GTEx, GEPIA2, PrognoScan, and Kaplan-Meier Plotter...

BACKGROUND: Patients with unilateral breast cancer carrying pathogenic variants in BRCA1/2 have the option to undergo contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM). However, differences in CPM use and survival outcomes following CPM are poorly understood in this high-risk population, in part due to a lack of data from contemporary clinical cohorts. The objective of this study was to evaluate post-CPM overall survival (OS) and related racial/ethnic differences in a contemporary clinical cohort...

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic nipple- or skin-sparing mastectomy (E-N/SSM) and endoscopic latissimus dorsi muscle flap (E-LDMF) harvest have been operational difficulties over decades. The aim of this study was to describe the preliminary outcomes of our novel surgical technique, which allows the performance of E-N/SSM and E-LDMF harvest for immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) through a single cosmetic axillary incision for breast cancer patients. METHODS: This prospective study included 20 breast cancer patients who underwent E-N/SSM and E-LDMF harvesting through a single axillary incision in our hospital from September 2020 to June 2022...
