Historically, treatment relied on mastectomy guided by the Halstedian theory. Advances in neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), breast-conserving surgery (BCS), and radiation have transformed treatment into a multimodal approach. Extreme oncoplastic BCS (eOPBCS) has expanded the boundaries of BCS, enabling large-volume resections with breast reshaping. However, its oncologic outcomes compared to mastectomy remain unclear, particularly in LABC.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO: CRD42024535182). Studies involving eOPBCS for LABC were reviewed, and those comparing outcomes with mastectomy were included in the meta-analysis. The primary outcomes were overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and local recurrence rates (LRR). Data were synthesized using a random-effects model.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Of 866 identified studies, 33 were included in the systematic review and 4 in the meta-analysis, involving 2902 patients with LABC. Among them, 16.1 % underwent eOPBCS. Patients receiving eOPBCS were younger, had larger tumours, and more frequently underwent axillary clearance. The pooled hazard ratio (HR) for OS comparing mastectomy to eOPBCS was 1.72 (95% CI 1.04-2.83). Meanwhile, HRs for DFS (1.11, 95% CI 0.60-2.08) and LRR (0.67, 95% CI 0.38-1.18) showed that there were no statistically significant differences but a trend toward lower recurrence rates with mastectomy.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>eOPBCS demonstrates comparable to superior oncological outcomes to mastectomy in LABC, offering a promising option for selected patients. However, slightly elevated local recurrence rates, though not statistically significant, highlight the importance of careful patient selection and further research. High-quality prospective studies are essential to validate these findings and refine criteria for incorporating eOPBCS into routine clinical practice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9093,"journal":{"name":"Breast","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 103869"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142969566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, managing comorbid conditions, particularly mental illness, presents significant challenges for cancer treatment. This study systematically reviews and meta-analyses the impact of having a pre-existing mental illness on breast cancer treatment utilisation, focusing on specific treatments and comparing different mental illnesses. MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and APA PsycInfo databases were searched. After screening, fifteen studies were identified as meeting the inclusion criteria. The included studies were predominantly from high-income countries, and compared breast cancer treatment in patients with and without pre-existing mental illnesses including anxiety, mood disorders, schizophrenia and psychotic disorders, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Meta-analysis revealed that patients with mental illnesses were significantly less likely to receive guideline-recommended treatments (OR = 0.78, 95 % CI 0.72–0.83, N = 5), chemotherapy (OR = 0.56, 95 % CI 0.34–0.78, N = 6), or radiotherapy (OR = 0.79, 95 % CI 0.66–0.93, N = 5). They were also significantly more likely to undergo mastectomy instead of breast-conserving surgery (OR = 1.38, 95 % CI 1.24–1.52, N = 4). Findings were consistent across different mental illnesses.
