Abstract

We read with great interest the recent article, "Comparison of survival between unilateral and bilateral breast cancers using propensity score matching: a retrospective single-center analysis" by Ozler et al. This study addresses an important gap in the literature by comparing disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) between unilateral and bilateral breast cancer, and the use of propensity score matching (PSM) strengthens the validity of the findings. However, we would like to share several reflections that we believe can enhance the interpretation and future application of this research.

致编辑关于文章“使用倾向评分匹配比较单侧和双侧乳腺癌的生存率：回顾性单中心分析”的信。

我们饶有兴趣地阅读了Ozler等人最近的一篇文章，“使用倾向评分匹配比较单侧和双侧乳腺癌的生存率：回顾性单中心分析”。本研究通过比较单侧和双侧乳腺癌的无病生存期（DFS）和总生存期（OS）填补了文献中的一个重要空白，并使用倾向评分匹配（PSM）加强了研究结果的有效性。然而，我们想分享一些我们认为可以加强本研究的解释和未来应用的思考。

期刊介绍： Breast Cancer Research and Treatment provides the surgeon, radiotherapist, medical oncologist, endocrinologist, epidemiologist, immunologist or cell biologist investigating problems in breast cancer a single forum for communication. The journal creates a "market place" for breast cancer topics which cuts across all the usual lines of disciplines, providing a site for presenting pertinent investigations, and for discussing critical questions relevant to the entire field. It seeks to develop a new focus and new perspectives for all those concerned with breast cancer.
