The aim of our study was to clarify outcome-relevant factors and treatment options of classical LN. Methods: We performed a pathological re-evaluation of the preoperative biopsy specimens and a retrospective clinical and radiological data analysis of 160 patients with LN from the Breast Center Zurich. Open surgery was performed in 65 patients, vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) in 79 patients, and surveillance after breast core needle biopsy (CNB) in 16 patients. Results: The upgrade rate into ductal carcinoma in situ/invasive cancer was the highest in case of imaging/histology discordance (40%). If the number of foci in the biopsy specimen was ≥3, the upgrade rate in the consecutive surgical specimens was increased (p = 0.01). The association of classical LN with histological microcalcification correlated with shortened disease-free survival (p < 0.01), whereas other factors showed no impact on follow-up. Conclusions: Surveillance or subsequent VAB after CNB of LN is sufficient in most cases. Careful consideration of individual radiological and histological factors is required to identify patients with a high risk of upgrade into malignancy. In those cases, surgical excision is indicated.","PeriodicalId":9310,"journal":{"name":"Breast Care","volume":"17 1","pages":"121 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2021-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000516609","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48977029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: In the breast diagnostics of 192 patients between 2009 and 2016, a minimally invasive biopsy revealed a B3 lesion with subsequent resection. This study investigates the malignancy rate of different B3 subgroups and the risk factors that play a role in obtaining a malignant finding. Results: The distribution of B3 lesions after minimally invasive biopsy was as follows: atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH), 7.3%; flat epithelial atypia (FEA), 7.8%; lobular neoplasia (LN), 7.8%; papilloma (Pa), 49.5%; phylloidal tumour (PT), 8.9%; radial sclerosing scar (RS), 3.1%; mixed findings, 10.4%; and other B3 lesions, 5.2%. Most B3 lesions were detected by stereotactic vacuum-assisted biopsy (44.3%), 36.5% by ultrasound-assisted biopsy, and 19.3% by magnetic resonance imaging-assisted biopsy. Most B3 lesions (55.2%) were verified by surgical resection, whereas 30.7% were downgraded to a benign lesion. About 14.1% of the cases were upgraded to malignant lesions, 9.4% to ductal carcinoma in situ and 4.7% to invasive carcinoma. In relation to individual B3 lesions, the following malignancy rates were found: 28.6% (ADH), 13.3% (FEA), 33.3% (LN), 12.6% (Pa), 5.9% (PT), and 0% (RS). The most important risk factor was increasing age. Postmenopausal status was considered an increased risk for an upgrade (p = 0.015). A known malignancy in the ipsilateral breast was a significant risk factor for a malignant upgrade (p = 0.003). Conclusion: Increasing knowledge about B3 lesions allows us to develop a “lesion-specific” therapy approach in the heterogeneous group of B3 lesions, with follow-up imaging for some lesions with less malignant potential and concordance with imaging or further surgical resection in cases of disconcordance with imaging or higher malignant potential.","PeriodicalId":9310,"journal":{"name":"Breast Care","volume":"17 1","pages":"159 - 165"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000517109","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44651365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Little is known about acceptance of counselling and testing in newly diagnosed breast cancer cases in Germany. Methods: All primary breast cancer cases and patients with DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) treated at the University Hospital of Dresden between 2016 and 2019 were included. The number of tumor board recommendations for genetic counselling on the basis of the GC-HBOC risk criteria was recorded. Acceptance was analyzed by number of cases with counselling in the GC-HBOC-Center Dresden. Results: Of 996 primary breast cancer and DCIS cases, 262 (26.3%) were eligible for genetic counselling. Recommendation for genetic counselling was accepted by 64.1% (168/262). Of these 90.5% (152/168) opted for molecular genetic analysis. The acceptance rate for counselling increased between 2016 and 2019 from 58.3 to 72.6%. Altogether, 20.4% (31/152) patients were found to carry a pathogenic variant in the breast cancer genes BRCA1 or BRCA2. Conclusion: Acceptance of recommendation is increasing as clinical consequences augment. Optimization in providing information about hereditary cancer risk and in accessibility of counselling and testing is required to further improve acceptance of recommendation.","PeriodicalId":9310,"journal":{"name":"Breast Care","volume":"17 1","pages":"153 - 158"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2021-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000517021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48914701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Umgekehrt sollen Erfahrungen aus der onkologischen Versorgung wieder in die Forschung einfließen. Gerade im Bereich der innovativen Therapien deckt sich die Mission der Nationalen Dekade gegen Krebs mit der von Merck. Ausdruck findet dieses Engagement neben den bereits zugelassenen Therapien in der Entwicklungspipeline von Merck, die zahlreiche vielversprechende Wirkstoffkandidaten für die Immuntherapie, die zielgerichtete Therapie und die sogenannte DNA Damage Response Inhibition enthält. Mit seinem Investment trägt Merck dazu bei, die Krebsbehandlung der Zukunft zu gestalten und Deutschland als führenden Standort der Krebsforschung nachhaltig zu stärken – ganz im Sinne der Nationalen Dekade gegen Krebs.

Alle Patientinnen wurden anhand der konventionellen prognostischen Parameter als Kandidatinnen für eine Chemotherapie eingeordnet und mithilfe des Oncotype DX® Tests und Veränderungen des immunhistochemischen prognostischen Markers Ki67 nach 3 Wochen präoperativer Antihormontherapie stratifiziert. Nodal-negative Patientinnen mit hohem klinischen Risiko und nodalpositive Patientinnen mit bis zu 3 befallenen Lymphknoten wurden ausschließlich mit einer Antihormontherapie behandelt, wenn das Ergebnis des Recurrence Score zwischen 0–11 lag oder wenn es zwischen 12–25 lag, verbunden mit einem Ki67-Ansprechen. Diese Gruppe von Patientinnen zeigte – unabhängig vom Alter – positive Ergebnisse durch alleinige Antihormontherapie, mit einem 5-jährigen ereignisfreien Überleben von 96%. Eine weitere Analyse aus der ADAPT-Studie, die ebenfalls auf dem SABCS vorgestellt wurde, evaluierte das Ergebnis von 864 Brustkrebspatientinnen, die primär auf der Grundlage ihres Recurrence Score Ergebnisses eine neoadjuvante Chemotherapie erhielten [2]. Diese Ergebnisse aus einer großen neoadjuvanten Studie zeigen, dass das Recurrence Score Ergebnis ein starker Prädiktor für das Ansprechen auf eine Chemotherapie ist gemessen am vollständigen pathologischen Ansprechen (kein invasiver Resttumor). ADAPT ist eine der größten prospektiven randomisierten Studien zu Brustkrebs im Frühstadium und wurde von der Westdeutschen Studiengruppe (WSG) in 80 Zentren in ganz Deutschland durchgeführt.
