159 Background: We evaluated the incidence of local recurrence (LR) among patients (pts) who received radiotherapy with/without a supplementary dose of radiation (boost) to the tumor bed after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) for early breast cancer (BC). Methods: In our retrospective analysis (from 2000-2004) 449 pts with stage I/II BC received 50Gy of radiation to the whole breast in 2Gy fractions over a five-week period after BCS. There were 328 pts (73%) with microscopically complete excision (>5mm margins) and 121 pts (27%) with a microscopically incomplete excision (≤5mm margins). Patients with a microscopically complete or incomplete excision were randomly assigned to receive either no further local treatment (190) or an additional localized dose (309) of 10-16Gy, usually given in 5-8 fractions (fr) by electrons/15Gy in 3 fr by HDR interstitial brachytherapy. Results: During a median follow-up period of 79 months (min 20, max 120), the cumulative incidence of LR was 3% for all group of pts (449). The LR was observed in 1 of 190 pts in group without boost and 13 of 309 pts in group with boost. There was statistically significant difference between two groups of pts regarding local recurrence rate (LRR) (p= 0.0218).The 5 year actuarial rates of LR were 1% in group of pts with negative surgical margins versus 8% in group of pts with positive margins [95% CI, 6% (1%-26%)] (p<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that pts with negative surgical margins had strongly statistically significant influence (p<0.001) and pts with negative lymph/angioinvasion had statistically significant influence on low risk of LR (p = 0.007). The 5 year DFS was 90% and OS was 98% in all group of pts (449). There was no statistical significant difference between two groups of pts regarding DFS and OS. Conclusions: In our analysis, the incidence of LR is low. However, there was better result in no boost group of pts regarding LRR. The cause was in more frequent selection among worse group of pts with positive surgical margins for application of boost (73% vs 52%, p<0.0001). The strong criteria for identifying low risk group of pts for LR were: negative surgical margins and absence of lymph/angioinvasion.

Purpose Women with atypical hyperplasia (AH) is associated with a higher risk of later breast cancer. However, whether AH found at margins in patients with breast-conserving surgery (BCS) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) needs re-excision is not well-defined. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of atypical hyperplasia at the surgical margins on the local recurrence and survival outcomes in breast cancer patients treated with NAC and BCS. Methods A retrospective analysis comparing patients who received NAC with AH and received no re-excision to those without AH at the margins of BCS was performed. Results 323 patients were included in this study. The 5-year rates of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) were 6% and 4.5% in patients with and without AH, respectively. Distant-metastasis-free survival (DMFS) at 5 years was 81.2% in the AH group, and 88.1% in the no-AH group. No significant differences were observed among the two groups in terms of IBTR, DMFS, or OS. Conclusion Our study suggests that AH involved at the surgical margins of BCS in patients who received NAC does not increase the risk of ipsilateral breast cancer, and there is insufficient evidence for surgeon to further resect AH found at the margins of BCS in these patients.
