چکیده

PURPOSE To study clinical features and patterns of recurrence after breast-conserving treatment (BCT) for three molecular subtypes of early stage breast cancer. METHODS The sample studied included 596 patients with T1-2N0-1 breast cancer who received BCT. Three groups were defined by receptor status. Luminal: estrogen receptor (ER) or progesterone receptor (PR) positive; triple negative (TN): ER, PR, and epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) receptor negative; and HER2 overexpressing: ER and PR negative but HER2 receptor positive. RESULTS The number of patients in each group was 408 (68.5%), 105 (17.6%), and 83 (13.9%), respectively. The median follow-up period was 79 months. The TN and HER2 subtypes occurred in younger patients (p=0.0007) and had higher nuclear grade and poorer histologic grade (p<0.0001 and 0.0071, respectively). During the follow-up period, locoregional recurrence was detected as the first site of recurrence in 26 (6.4%), 11 (10.5%), and 9 (10.8%) patients in the luminal, TN, and HER2 subtypes, respectively (p=0.1924). Thirty-one (7.6%), 7 (6.7%), and 7 (8.4%) patients in each group had distant metastases as the first sign of recurrence (p=0.8996). Median time to locoregional and distant recurrence was shorter in the HER2 subtype (p=0.0889 and 0.0780, respectively), and the HER2 subtype was significantly associated with poor overall survival (p=0.0009). CONCLUSION After BCT in Korean women with early stage breast cancer, the patterns of recurrence were not different among the molecular subtypes, although the TN and HER2 subtypes were associated with younger age, higher nuclear grade, and poorer histologic grade.

Association Between Oncotype DX Recurrence Score and Clinicopathological Variables in Breast Cancer Patients

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Clinicopathological variables are important factors in deciding on breast cancer treatment. This study evaluated the association between the recurrence score generated by the Oncotype DX® 21-gene assay and classic clinicopathological variables. Methods: A single-institution retrospect...

Rapid Health Technology Assessment of Oncotype DX in Patients with Early-Stage Breast Cancer

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Patients are treated with chemotherapy initially, and if not chemically treated, the risk of recurrence of the disease increases yearly. Therefore, methods for identifying patients for whom chemotherapy would be most beneficial are very important. The Oncotype DX test is a prognostic assay that predicts the likelihood of breast can...

Dosimetric comparison of whole breast radiotherapy using field in field and conformal radiotherapy techniques in early stage breast cancer

Background: We aimed to compare field-in-field technique (FIF) with conformal tangential field radiotherapy (CRT) in terms of dosimetric benefits for early stage breast cancer radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Twenty consecutive left-side breast cancer patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery were included to the study. For each patient, two different treatment plans were cr...

Breast-Conserving Surgery for Breast Cancer -- American Family Physician

Conservative Breast Surgery Stage I and Stage II breast cancers are early cancers that are not fixed to the skin or muscle. If lymph nodes are involved, they are not fixed to each other or to underlying structures. Modified radical mastectomy continues to be appropriate for some patients, but breast conservation therapy is now regarded as the optimal treatment for most. Six prospective randomiz...

Local recurrence after breast-conserving therapy in relation to gene expression patterns in a large series of patients.

PURPOSE The majority of patients with early-stage breast cancer are treated with breast-conserving therapy (BCT). Several clinical risk factors are associated with local recurrence (LR) after BCT but are unable to explain all instances of LR after BCT. Here, gene expression microarrays are used to identify novel risk factors for LR after BCT. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Gene expression profiles of 56...
