Invasive breast cancer deriving from the milk duct and lobule that develops in the nipple is extremely rare, except in Paget’s disease and skin cancer. This is the second reported case of the development of invasive cancer confined to the nipple after breast-conserving surgery. A 69-year-old woman visited our department due to redness, swelling, and bloody discharge of the right nipple in the last month. A needle biopsy was suggestive of invasive ductal carcinoma; we performed a removal surgery of the right residual breast tissue and a second sentinel lymph node biopsy. She underwent these procedures 10 years previously as well. Thus, we diagnosed the present lesion as a local recurrence, but it was unknown whether the lesion was a true recurrence or second cancer, namely, metachronal ipsilateral breast cancer. The present case helps promote awareness that invasive cancer rarely develops in the nipple after conserving surgery. Patients should be encouraged to visit a medical facility if experiencing skin changes and swelling of the nipple. Additionally, breast cancer patients must be carefully selected for breast-conserving surgery; failure to do so may later result in nipple-specific local recurrence.

611 Background: It is estimated that approximately 10% of all breast cancer patients will develop local recurrence (LR) at 10 years. Routine surveillance for detection of early breast cancer recurrence is widely performed despite lack of conclusive evidence for an improvement in patient quality of life or potential for cure. A number of historical studies evaluating the effectiveness of routine screening for LR following treatment for early-stage breast cancer have suggested that the diagnosis of LR is more frequent during a routine visit and occurring in asymptomatic patients. However, differentiating the method of detection is not often elucidated. In this study we evaluated the manner in which patients presented with an isolated LR in clinical practice. Methods: Our routine patient follow-up consists of physical exam and mammogram every 6 mos for the first 2 years following breast conserving surgery (BCS) and yearly thereafter. We queried our prospectively collected breast cancer database (1632 patients from July 1986 - July 2004) for patients with an isolated LR following BCS (n=59 (3.6%); two patients had bilateral LRs). Medical records were not available for three patients. Results: At a median follow-up of 45 mos (range: 5–122 mos) there were 58 evaluable LRs: 15 DCIS, 31 infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC), 6 infiltrating lobular (ILC), 2 mixed IDC/ILC, 3 invasive cancers NOS and 1 unknown. Patient presentation was as follows: 25 were diagnosed by self-exam, 28 on screening mammogram, 2 were diagnosed by physician (includes one referral), and 3 unknown. Mammogram detected recurrences were more frequent among patients with DCIS whereas self-detected recurrences were more common in patients with IDC (79% vs 33% and 21% vs 67%, respectively; P<0.2). Mean tumor size was larger in self-presentation (2.1 cm; range: 0.8–4.5 cm) than in mammogram detected group (1.6 cm; range 0.4–6 cm). Conclusions: These findings demonstrate the value of mammography as compared to patient detected LRs. Whether a survival advantage exists remains uncertain. Nevertheless routine physician examination in this setting is highly insensitive and its further utility must be considered when devising cost-effective strategies for surveillance of breast cancer patients.

Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer was used to downstaging tumours to facilitate breast-conserving surgery. Methods: A descriptive retrospective study of 93 breast cancer patients at Da Nang Oncology Hospital from January 2017 to December 2019. Patients diagnosed with locally advanced breast cancer cT2-4N0- 3M0. Exclude cases of Ductal carcinoma in situ from breast or previously treated. Results: an average age of 48, an average tumor size of 6.0 cm, the majority were Invasive ductal carcinoma (97.8%) and grade 2 ( 85.6%). Hormon receptor positive in 57%, HER-2 positive in 38.7% and 18.3% triple negative Breast cancer. The combination chemotherapy regimen Anthacycline and Taxane accounted for 94.7%, Trastuzumab-based regimen accounted for 25%. There was 8.3% progression of disease during neoadjuvant chemotherapy. About Surgery: Breast- conserving surgery in 20.5%, Breast reconstruction in 6.8%, Mastectomy in 71.6%, Sentinel lymph node biopsy in 4.3%. Her2 status was significantly different between the groups with and without pCR.. Endocrine receptors are negative, Ki67 is high, and Triple negative has a higher rate of pCR but not statistically significant. Conclusion: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy helps to downstaging tumours to facilitate breast-conserving surgery. Her2 status is correlated with the rate of complete pathological response (pCR).

192 Background: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) has been regarded as curable with resection, but axillary lymph node metastases have been reported in 2% of DCIS patients. Even when DCIS has been diagnosed by preoperative core needle biopsy (CNB), 8% to 38% of the patients have been found to have invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) on the basis of pathological diagnosis after surgical treatment. The indication of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and breast-conserving surgery (BCS) for DCIS is still controversial. Methods: SLNB is a standard surgical technique for early breast cancer treatment, and indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence method is remarkable in terms of the visualization of lymphatic flow. We analyzed the variation in lymphatic drainage routes from the nipple to the SLN (sentinel lymphatic routes) by using the ICG florescence method in early breast cancer patients and investigated the effects on the localization of the tumor to the sentinel lymphatic routes after BCS. Results: From November 2010 to April 2012, we recorded the sentinel lymphatic routes in 118 patients. All the routes passed through the upper outer quadrant (UOQ) area, and there were more than 2 routes in 53 cases. Of these routes, 73% passed through only the UOQ area and 27% passed through the UOQ via the upper inner, lower inner, and/or lower outer quadrant area. Conclusions: We should confirm the sentinel lymphatic routes by using the ICG florescence method before BCS for preoperatively diagnosed DCIS. If the lymphatic routes do not pass over the extent of resection of BCS, we can omit SLNB in the first surgical treatment and await the final pathological result. However, we should perform SLNB in addition to BCS in cases in which the lymphatic routes pass over the tumor in the region except the UOQ area.

1127 Background: There is limited literature on breast surgery during pregnancy. We present prospective registry data on 88 breast cancer patients who underwent breast cancer surgery during pregnancy. Methods: The Cancer and Pregnancy Registry is a voluntary international registry that prospectively collects the clinical course, treatment, and disease outcome of women diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy and the perinatal and neonatal outcomes of their children. Results: We identified 88 patients who were diagnosed with breast cancer and had surgery while pregnant. 59 patients (67%) underwent Mastectomy while29 patients (32%) underwent breast conserving surgery (BCS). Out of 43 patients who underwent BCS as their first surgery 13 patients (30.23%) required subsequent mastectomy during pregnancy. 15 patients (34.88%) from the BCS group and 4 patients (8.69%) from the Mastectomy group had positive margins. There was no significant difference between patients who underwent mastectomy vs BCS based on Age (34.67 vs 34.72 P: 0.97), gestational age at surgery (14.05 vs 16.06 P: 0.23) or ER positivity (47.5% vs 46.4% P: 0.93). 2 patients had neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. 17 patients (19.31%) had sentinel lymph node biopsy. 37 patients (42%) had a pregnancy complication. There was no difference in the rate of complication based on mastectomy vs BCS(45.8% vs 34.5% P: 0.31). There was only 1 patient (from mastectomy group) that delivered within 2 weeks of surgery. Of the 17 patients (19.3%) with spontaneous preterm delivery, there was no difference between Mastectomy and BCS group (22% vs 13.2% P: 0.41). Of the 25 patients (28.4%) with birth complications, there was no significant difference between mastectomy vs BCS (30.5% vs 24.1% P: 0.53). There was also no difference in mean birth weight between the groups (2598 grams vs 2672.3 grams P: 0.57). Conclusions: The data supports the safety of breast cancer surgery during pregnancy. In addition, there were no identified adverse effects in patients who underwent BCS as opposed to mastectomy. Of note, only 19% of patients underwent sentinel node biopsy which is considered the standard of care in early breast cancer patients regardless of pregnancy status.

Abstract The use of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is controversial. Using population-cohort data, we examined whether SLNB improves long-term outcomes among patients with DCIS who underwent breast-conserving surgery. We identified 12 776 women aged 67–94 years diagnosed during 2001–2013 with DCIS who underwent breast-conserving surgery from the US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare dataset, 1992 (15.6%) of whom underwent SLNB (median follow-up: 69 months). Tests of statistical significance are two-sided. Patients with and without SLNB did not differ statistically significantly regarding treated recurrence (3.9% vs 3.7%; P = .62), ipsilateral invasive occurrence (1.4% vs 1.7%, P = .33), or breast cancer mortality (1.0% vs 0.9%, P = .86). With Mahalanobis-matching and competing-risks survival analyses, SLNB was not statistically significantly associated with treated recurrence, ipsilateral invasive occurrence, or breast cancer mortality (P ≥ .27). Our findings do not support the routine performance of SLNB for older patients with DCIS amenable to breast conservation.

Purpose Radiotherapy (RT) after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is a standard treatment option for the management of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). We sought to determine the survival benefit of RT after BCS on the basis of risk factors for local recurrence. Patients and Methods A retrospective longitudinal cohort study was performed to identify patients with DCIS diagnosed between 1988 and 2007 and treated with BCS by using SEER data. Patients were divided into the following two groups: BCS+RT (RT group) and BCS alone (non-RT group). We used a patient prognostic scoring model to stratify patients on the basis of risk of local recurrence. We performed a Cox proportional hazards model with propensity score weighting to evaluate breast cancer mortality between the two groups. Results We identified 32,144 eligible patients with DCIS, 20,329 (63%) in the RT group and 11,815 (37%) in the non-RT group. Overall, 304 breast cancer–specific deaths occurred over a median follow-up of 96 months, with a cumulative incidence of breast cancer mortality at 10 years in the weighted cohorts of 1.8% (RT group) and 2.1% (non-RT group; hazard ratio, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.62 to 0.88). Significant improvements in survival in the RT group compared with the non-RT group were only observed in patients with higher nuclear grade, younger age, and larger tumor size. The magnitude of the survival difference with RT was significantly correlated with prognostic score (P < .001). Conclusion In this population-based study, the patient prognostic score for DCIS is associated with the magnitude of improvement in survival offered by RT after BCS, suggesting that decisions for RT could be tailored on the basis of patient factors, tumor biology, and the prognostic score.

e11538 Background: It is critical to obtain clear margins to minimize local recurrence after breast conserving surgery(BCS). When re-excisions are performed, there is often no residual disease in the new specimen, calling into question the need for re-excision(s) or mastectomy. The aim of the present study was to identify factors predicting a histologically positive re-excision specimen. Methods: Our prospective breast cancer database was queried for all invasive breast cancer patients who underwent a re-excision lumpectomy for either close or positive margins after an attempt at BCS. Close margins are defined as ≤ 2 mm for invasive carcinoma and presence of ductal carcinoma in situ(DCIS). Clinicopathologic features were correlated with the presence of residual disease in the re-excision specimen. Results: Between February 1997 and August 2008, 2054 patients with early breast cancer underwent surgical treatment in our breast unit. 939(45.7%) of them had BCS. In 543 patients(26.4%), re-excision required due to close margins on the permanent section analysis of their initial surgical specimens. 186 patients(34.3%) had previous excisional biopsy in other clinics. Median age of 543 patients was 50 years. In 290 patients(53.4%), mastectomy was performed due to positive surgical margin or poor cosmetic results. There were no residual tumors in re-excision(65.6 %) or mastectomy(42.4%) specimens of patients. The factors associated with tumor positive re-excision specimen were, age ≤50 years(p=0.044), lymphovascular invasion (p=0.029), multifocality(p<0.001), tumor size >2cm(p=0.008), presence of DCIS(p=0.018), focal margin positivity(p<0.001), DCIS at resection margin(p=0.008) and node positivity (p<0.001). Conclusions: Most of our patients with early breast cancer had unnecessary re-excisions or mastectomy to obtain clear surgical margins. In subset group of patients, re-excision or mastectomy may not be required. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

184 Background: There have been important changes in diagnosis and treatment of the breast cancer during the last century. Diagnosing the cancer in early stages brought the new approaches such as breast conserving surgery instead of mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy instead of direct axillary disection. In this study our purpose is to compare the operations which were performed in 1983 and 2008 on breast cancer patients of our clinic and to search the differences in their ages and tumor characteristics. Methods: In each group the files of 100 patients, who were operated in 1983 and 2008, were compared with each other including the variabilities such as size of the tumor, age of the patient and operation technique. Results: There were 100 patients in both of the groups. Six of the patients (6%), who were operated on in 1983, were found to be between the ages of 20-39 and this percentage was found to be much higher as 19% (19 patients) in 2008. In 1983, there wasn't any patient at stage 0 and the number of patients at stage 1 was 15 (15%), in 2008 the number of stage 0 patient was 9 (9%) and stage 1 patient was 25 (25%). Breast conserving surgery rate was found to be 9% in 1983 and 41% in 2008. Conclusions: According to the data of this study, breast cancer is now being seen at younger ages when compared to 25 years ago. Currently the patients have diagnosis at earlier stages and the breast conserving surgery is much more prevalent. Earlier-stage diagnosis can be explained by widespread use of screening mamographies and increasing consciousness of the patients.
