    Oncologic safety of nipple-sparing mastectomy in patients with short tumor-nipple distance
    (WILEY, 2019-01-01) Balci, Fatih Levent; Kara, Halil; Dulgeroglu, Onur; Uras, Cihan
    Background There is a tendency to avoid nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) when a tumor-nipple distance (TND) is NSM with immediate reconstruction are oncologically safe when TND is NSM followed by immediate reconstruction for breast cancer were retrospectively analyzed. Patients who are negative for nipple-base in either frozen-section or paraffin histopathology were included. MRI was used to obtain TNDs to compare local-recurrence-free and disease-free survival in group I (TND <2 cm) and group II (TND >= 2 cm). Disease-free survival rates were determined to assess the outcome. Results Of the 214 cases with malignancy on MRI, 21 cases diagnosed with pure ductal carcinoma in situ were excluded. Among the 193 NSM cases diagnosed with invasive cancer, TND was <2.0 cm in 59 (30.56\%) cases and >= 2.0 cm in 134 (69.43\%) cases. No significant differences were found between groups in regards to ER, PR, HER2-neu status, and nodal involvement (P = 0.34, P = 0.41, P = 0.54, and P = 0.12 respectively). In a median follow-up time of 62 months (range

    Role of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy During Contralateral Prophylactic Mastectomy
    (ISTANBUL TRAINING \& RESEARCH HOSPITAL, 2020-01-01) Kara, Halil; Arikan, Akif Enes; Dulgeroglu, Onur; Uras, Cihan
    Introduction: Contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) is the removal of the opposite breast with the aim of risk reduction in cases of unilateral breast carcinoma. Routine use of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) at the time of CPM is controversial due to low occult breast cancer risk. This study aims to determine the rate of occult breast carcinoma and to evaluate whether SLNB should be performed during CPM. Methods: Ninety-four patients who underwent CPM between 2009 and 2018 were evaluated retrospectively. Occult breast carcinoma detection rate and approach to axilla were evaluated. Results: Occult invasive breast carcinoma was detected in three patients (3.2\%): two invasive ductal carcinoma and one multifocal invasive lobular carcinoma. Axillary staging was performed in second session. SLNB was performed in two patients and a micro-metastasis in one of four sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) was detected in one patient. Axillary lymph node dissection was performed in one patient in whom SLN was not detected. Conclusion: SLNB can be performed in patients with suspicious lesion in the absence of biopsy or in patients with high-risk of occult breast cancer (postmenopausal, high Gail score, lobular histology, multi-centric tumor, ipsilateral high-risk lesion)

    Do prognosis and clinicopathological features differ in young early-stage breast cancer?
    (FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2022-01-01) Arikan, Akif Enes; Kara, Halil; Dulgeroglu, Onur; Erdogan, Esin Nur; Capkinoglu, Emir; Uras, Cihan
    BackgroundBreast cancer is the most frequently detected cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Although it is mostly seen in older patients, breast cancer affects women aged 24 to >70 years, with poorer prognosis in young patients. Young age remains a controversial topic in the literature. This study aimed to identify subtype differences and the effect of age on early-stage breast cancer outcomes. MethodsA total of 300 consecutive patients underwent surgery between 2011 and 2015 for early-stage breast cancer. Of these, 248 were eligible for this study and were divided into three groups: group Y (aged <= 35 years), group M (aged >35 and <= 45 years), and group E (aged >45 years). The clinical and pathological features and data related to recurrence, metastasis, and death were recorded. ResultsNo statistical differences were found between groups regarding histopathological features except for higher histological grade and Ki-67 levels in group M. Additionally, group Y recorded no progression (recurrence or metastasis) or death. Disease-free survival was 117.8 months (95\% CI 111.8-123.8) for group M, which was significantly shorter than that for group E (p < 0.001). Additionally, the hazard ratio (HR) for progression from group M to group E was 10.21 with significant difference (p = 0.003, 95\% CI 2.26-46.08). However, the HR of group Y to group E was 0.04, without significance (p = 0.788, 95\% CI 0.18-345 x 10(6)). The overall 5-year survival was 100\% in group Y, 98.8\% in group M, and 99.3\% in group E, without significance. ConclusionA very young age cannot be considered an independent risk factor for poor prognosis. Rather than age, histological grade and Ki-67 index are more important factors in early-stage breast cancer.
