Purpose To evaluate the risk of locoregional recurrence (LRR) associated with locoregional treatment of women with primary breast cancer tumors negative for estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (triple-negative breast cancer [TNBC]). Patients and Methods Patients diagnosed with TNBC were identified from a cancer registry in a single institution (n=768). LRR-free survival was estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to determine risk of LRR on the basis of locoregional management: breast-conserving therapy (BCT; ie, lumpectomy and adjuvant radiation therapy [RT]) and modified radical mastectomy (MRM) in the TNBC population and T1-2N0 subgroup. Results At a median follow-up of 7.2 years, 77 patients (10%) with TNBC developed LRR. Five-year LRR-free survival was 94%, 85%, and 87% in the BCT, MRM, and MRM + RT groups, respectively (P < .001). In multivariate analysis, MRM (compared with BCT), lymphovascular invasion and lymph node positivity were associated with increased LRR. Conversely, adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with decreased risk of LRR. For patients with T1-2N0 tumors, 5-year LRR-free survival was 96% and 90% in the BCT and MRM groups, respectively (P =.027), and MRM was the only independent prognostic factor associated with increased LRR compared with BCT (hazard ratio, 2.53; 95% CI, 1.12 to 5.75; P= .0264). Conclusion Women with T1-2N0 TNBC treated with MRM without RT have a significant increased risk of LRR compared with those treated with BCT. Prospective studies are warranted to investigate the benefit of adjuvant RT after MRM in TNBC.

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancy and leading cause of cancer related deaths in women worldwide. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is done to characterize intracellular proteins or cell-surface antigens and is used to assess tumour subtypes, confirm diagnosis, predict prognosis and response to therapy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship of IHC profile- ER, PR and HER2 neu and prognosis of patients who underwent modified radical mastectomy for locally advanced breast cancer.Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at MES Medical College Hospital from October 2015 to November 2017 in patients who underwent modified radical mastectomy for locally advanced breast carcinoma. A total of 65 women were enrolled in the study. 5 years survival was taken as the prognostic indicator.Results: Majority of the patients belong to the age group of 40-49 years with 40% patients followed by 33.84% patients in the age group of 50-59 years. Maximum number of patients was found in 2B stage of tumour. Maximum patients belonged to the ER/PR+, HER2- subgroup (27), followed by triple negative (ER/PR-, HER2) subgroup (16). There was no disease related mortality in ER/PR+, HER2+ and ER/PR+, HER2- subgroups. There were 1 and 2 disease related mortality in ER/PR-, HER2+ and triple negative subgroups respectively.Conclusions: In the present study the worst prognosis was observed in triple negative (ER/PR-,HER2-) IHC subgroup followed by the HER2 enriched (ER/PR-, HER2+) subgroup.

e12594 Background: Older age is associated with poorer breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) outcomes, despite a higher prevalence of biologically favorable disease. We sought to evaluate differences in the clinical characteristics and management of older women according to biologic subtype of breast cancer. Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) treatment database was queried to identify all women aged 80 years or older with a first diagnosis of invasive breast cancer between 2010 and 2016. Patients were subgrouped according to biologic subtype and clinical and treatment-related variables were compared. Multivariable logistic regression was then performed to determine factors independently associated with receipt of breast-conserving surgery (BCS) and adjuvant radiation. Results: Overall, 27,375 women with a median age of 84 (range, 80-108 years) met inclusion criteria. The majority of older women were diagnosed with HR+HER2- breast cancer (78.9%), followed by HER2+ (11.0%) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) (10.0%). In women with stage I-III disease, non-operative management was employed in 13.4% of HR+HER2- patients, compared to 16.7% of HER2+ patients and 11.0% of TNBC (p < 0.001). In those undergoing surgery, BCS was most common in HR+HER2- patients (80.9%), compared to HER2+ (68.9%) and TNBC (67.8%; p < 0.001). Axillary surgery was performed in 74.0% of early stage patients with HR+HER2- disease, compared to patients with HER2+ (77.8%) and TNBC (79.3%; p < 0.001). In adjusted analyses controlling for stage and clinical variables, women aged 80 years or older with HER2+ breast cancer and TNBC had a lower likelihood of BCS (ORHER2+ 0.72, 95% CI 0.65-0.80; ORTNBC 0.72, 95% CI 0.65-0.81), and an increased likelihood of adjuvant radiation (ORHER2+ 1.14, 95% CI 1.02-1.27; ORTNBC 1.40, 95% CI 1.25-1.57). Conclusions: One fifth of women with breast cancer over age 80 are diagnosed with HER2+ and triple-negative subtypes, which are associated with more aggressive local therapy. Further studies are warranted to determine if higher rates of adjuvant radiation optimize local control in older HER2+ and TNBC patients at increased risk for early locoregional recurrences.

Male breast cancer is a rare but important condition accounting for only 1% of breast cancer worldwide and less than 1% of all male malignancies. Occult male breast cancer is an extremely rare type of male breast cancer that manifests as axillary metastases without an identifiable breast lesion. We report a case of triple-negative occult male breast cancer who underwent modified radical mastectomy.

Background: Severe postsurgical pain continues to be hard to manage in patients who experience breast cancer surgery. Badly managed pain can lead to meager patient satisfaction, prolonged hospital stay, and increased risk of complication by analgesics, and may be a reason in the development of long-lasting pain. Aim: To compare the efficacy of Intravenous Tramadol and Bupivacaine irrigation through surgical drains after Modified Radical Mastectomy in patients with carcinoma breast. Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial conducted in the Department of Anesthesia, Mayo Hospital Lahore. Total 70 female patients aged 18-70 years undergoing radical mastectomy for CA breast diagnosed on histopathology were selected. Patients were divided into two groups A and B through simple random sampling technique. Group A received intravenous Tramadol. Group B received Bupivacaine through surgical drains. Results: At 0, 2, 4 and 6 hour postoperatively no significant difference was seen in severity of pain in both treatment groups. In Group-A at 0, 2, 4 and 6 hour postoperatively, 68.8%, 71.4%, 57.1% and 60% respectively had reported no pain while in Group-B at 0, 2, 4 and 6 hour postoperatively, 48.6%, 65.7%, 45.7% and 54.3% patients had reported no pain. Complaints of Nausea, vomiting, sedation, urinary retention was higher in patients in Tramadol Group as compared to Bupivacaine Group. Conclusion: Results of this study demonstrated that bupivacaine administrated through surgical drain was equally effective as intravenous tramadol for controlling postoperative mastectomy pain with less side effects.
