{"title":"Influences of Body Mass Index (BMI) and Age for Lymphoscintigraphy in Sentinel Lymph Node Detection with Breast Cancer","authors":"S. Woo, Sangwoo Kim, Jeong-Han Kim, S. Nam, Jung-Hyun Yang","doi":"10.4048/JKBCS.2004.7.4.263","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4048/JKBCS.2004.7.4.263","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: A sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has become the standard care for the staging of axilla in breast cancer and the increase in body weight with age has an inverse relationship to its success. Therefore, the characteristics of patients who underwent a SLNB, and the relationship of the influences of Body Mass Index (BMI) and age, were evaluated using lymphoscintigram visualization in a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for breast cancer. Methods: Between Sept. 1995 and Dec 2003, 238 patients underwent lymphoscintigraphy and SLNB (including full axillary node dissection with SLNB). 205 (86.1%) cases were able to be visualized by lymphoscintigraphy, But the remaining 33 (13.9%) were not. A combined technique (radioisotope and blue dye) was used to detect the SLNs. The BMI for each patient was calculated from height and weight data (kg/m). Results: A SLNB was attempted in all cases, but 5 failed. Of the 238 cases, the lymphoscintigraphy visualization was successful in 205 (86.1%) and failed in 33 (13.9%). The mean weight and BMI were significantly higher in the failure group. The success of a SLNB was inversely related to the BMI. When the subjects were divided into two group accoding to age (<50 year-old versus ≥50 year-old), this relationship was more pronounced in the ≥50 year-old group. Conclusion: The age and BMI of the patient influences the detection of the sentinel lymph node on a lymphoscintigram. There was no influence on the sentinel lymph node biopsy with increasing BMI and age. Therefore, increased age and/or BMI alone do not appear to be contraindication for a sentinel lymph node biopsy in older or overweight patients.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the chemosensitive and chemoresistance indices of breast carcinomas and see if the in vitro chemosensitivity test correlated with the prognostic indices. Methods: The immunohistochemical expressions of MDR1, MRP1 and topoisomerase IIα (topo IIα) were studied and then correlated these with the in vitro chemosensitivities using the histoculture drug response assay (HDRA) and clinicopathological factors in 51 breast carcinomas. Results: In the breast carcinomas examined, the immunohistochemical expressions of MDR1, MRP1 and topo IIα were strongly observed in 26 (51.0%), 16 (32.0%), 15 (31.3%) carcinomas, respectively. The MRP1 was more frequently expressed in poorly differentiated carcinomas (P= 0.006), and those of MDR1 and topo IIα were more frequently observed in tumor overexpressing cerbB2 (P=0.038, P=0.036). The expression of MDR1 was related to that of topo IIα (P=0.015). Comparing these markers with the in vitro chemosensitivities to cyclophosphamide, 5-FU, adriamycin, taxol and taxotere, no correlations were found between the expression of MDR1, MRP1, and topo IIα but from the chemosensitivity using the HDRA, the growth inhibition rate for cyclophosphamide was higher in MRP1 expressing carcinomas (P=0.009). Conclusion: MDR1, MRP1 and topo IIα were all found to be associated with the poor prognostic indices, but assessment of their immunohistochemical expressions did not allow for prediction of the response to chemotherapy by the in vitro chemosensitivity test in breast carcinomas.

Methods: Fifty patients with breast cancer were recruited after their operations, and an informed consent was obtained from each of them. Hospital staff members served as the controls. The 100 item-WHOQOL instrument included questions on the physical, psychological, social, independence, environmental and spiritual domains, and it was employed for testing the all subjects. Results: The physical, psychological, independence and social domains were shown to have a worsened quality of life for patients with breast cancer who survive after their operations. Quality of life in the physical and social domains were perceived as worse by patients having advanced stage tumor, with mastectomy. Patients with mastectomy who survived their cancer felt a worse quality of life in the psychological domain. The quality of life scores for patients having advanced stage tumor with mastectomy, during the early postoperative period (≤2 years) was lower for the independence domain. Patients at middle postoperative period (2∼5years) felt a better quality of life in spiritual domain. Conclusion: Not only is the objective medical success important to female breast cancer survivors, but the individual subjective perception of their condition is also important. The psychological status of these women needs to be considered when managing patients with breast cancer after their surgical operation. In this context, the WHOQOL reflects a measurement of a multi-dimensional state of wellbeing, and it could be a useful tool across a variety of cultural and value systems in the world.

These tools have been used as a rationale for breast cancer screening and to determine the selection criteria of NSABP P-1 and P-2. The aim of this study was to develop a breast cancer risk assessment tool for Korean women, which would be helpful for screening and preventing breast cancer. Methods: The breast cancer risk model was used published by Sue Kyung Park in 2003. The report was a casecontrol study of 1687 breast cancer patients and 1155 normal populations in 3 hospitals from 1996 to 2000. The risk factors used in this model were age, family history of the first and second relatives, body mass index, age at the first delivery, breast-feeding and a special test on the breasts. A computer program was developed using the Borland Delphi on a personal computer using a windows 98 operating system. The program consisted of three parts; an input window of the risk factors, a calculation part of the relative risks, an output window of the results. Results: The program was a 308K byte sized single executable file. In the initial window, a simple explanation of the program and a reference of the risk model were displayed. The age, height and weight were entered as continuous variables in the input window. The family history of the first and second relatives, the age at the first delivery, breast-feeding and a special test on the breasts were selected by the radio buttons. In the output window, the relative risks were calculated according to each risk factor. The overall relative risk was calculated in a given age group and the overall age group. Conclusion: In this study, a computer program for a breast cancer risk assessment was developed using the relative risk model of breast cancer. This program was found to be useful for making an individual breast cancer risk assessment of Korean women.

The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that predict the presence of metastasis in non-sentinel lymph nodes (NSLNs) when the sentinel lymph node (SLN) was positive. Methods: Between December 1998 and June 2004, the records of 104 early breast cancer patients with a positive SLN and who underwent completion axillary lymph node dissection were reviewed. The clinicopathological features in SLN-positive patients were evaluated as possible predictors of metastatic NSLN. Results: Forty four (42.3%) of the 104 patients with positive SLN had metastatic NSLNs. In a univariate analysis, unicentric multifocality (P=0.016), lymphovascular invasion (P=0.006) and SLN metastasis larger than 2 mm (P= 0.003) were associated with positive NSLN findings. The number of SLNs removed was significantly associated as a negative predictor (P=0.043). A multivariate analysis revealed that SLN metastasis >2 mm (P=0.021) and lymphovascular invasion (P=0.040) were independent predictors of metastatic NSLN. Conclusion: The likelihood of metastatic NSLNs correlates with the size of the largest SLN metastasis and the presence of lymphovascular invasion of the primary tumor. Even though in early breast cancer with positive SLNs, incorporating these factors may help determining which patients would benefit from additional axillary lymph node dissection.

This study examined the expression patterns of survivin in normal breast tissue, atypical hyperplasia, primary breast cancer and lymph node tissues involved with breast cancer and to determined whether the expression of survivin is associated with the characteristics and prognosis of breast cancer. Methods: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples from 80 breast cancer, 20 atypical hyperplasia and 20 malignant lymph node tissue cases were immunostained using polyclonal survivin (Novus Biologicals, CO). The degree of immunostaining was recorded on a scale of 0-3 according to the percentages of staining and distributions within the cytoplasm & nucleus. Results: Survivin was expressed in 52, 14 and 17 of the 80 breast cancer (65%), atypical hyperplasia (70%) and breast cancer lymphoid (85%) specimens respectively. Among those expressing cancer, 11.3, 31.3 and 22.5% demonstrated nuclear staining only, cytoplasmic staining only and both nuclear and cytoplasmic staining respectively. A statistical analysis revealed that cytoplasmic survivin expression was correlated with the stage, histological grade and L/N metastasis. In a Cox proportional hazard model analysis, the expression of survivin was not identified as a significant independent predictor of overall survival (P=0.168), although the decrease in the survival rate of survivin-positive patients did reach statistical significance (P=0.048). Conclusion: Our results show that survivin is frequently overexpressed in primary breast cancer and its expression gradually increased from normal breast tissue to malignant lymph nodes. The expression of cytoplasmic survivin was common in breast cancer and could be both a useful diagnostic marker and important source of prognostic information.

Various oncogenes have been demonstrated in malignant tumor cells. There were many reports on the relationship between the prognosis and the tumor markers, and particularly for HER-2/neu; however, this relationship is controversial. The aim of this study was to perform immunohistochemical staining for the HER-2/neu antigenic protein in breast cancer patients to evaluate the expression rate of this antigenic protein, and to compare the correlations with the patients' prognosis. Methods: The medical records of 100 patients who were diagnosed with breast cancer and who were treated with mastectomy between January 1996 and December 1999 at Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital were selected according to the tissue condition of the paraffin block fixations. The prognostic factors were then investigated. The immunohistochemical expression of HER-2/neu was examined and compared with the survival rate using a Kaplan-Meier estimate and a log rank test. Results: One hundred patients were included in this study, had a mean (SD) age of 47.9 (plus or minus 10.5) years and a follow-up duration of 59.9 (plus or minus 13.3) moths The overall mortality was 35% (35/100) and the mean survival time (SD) was 64.4 (plus or minus 12.0) months. The overall 5-year survival rate was 77.0%. Among the study variables, the tumor stage was a significant predictor of survival, and it as associate with a significantly low survival rate for stage III tumor. Lymph node metastasis, hormonal receptor status, histologic grade and HER-2/neu overexpression were significantly associated with the survival rate for patients with breast cancer. Conclusion: HER-2/neu is a very useful prognostic factor, and statistical significance was achieved for this factor.
