2. NSM 345 articles reviewed LR after therapeutic NSM <5% <1% cancer in retained nipple after risk reducing NSM Partial necrosis up to 16%, full necrosis up to 8% Rusby, J. E., Smith, B. L., & Gui, G. P. H. (2010). Nipple sparing mastectomy. British journal of surgery, 97(3), 305-316.
3. Axilla We struggle to take away treatment Examples of changes in BC treatment and residual disease BCS considered radical when first introduced in NSABP- B06 BCS didn t stop when EBCTCG reported ¼ LR resulted in BC death Occult mets for years - left untreated Micromets now left untreated Macromets Z11 suggests we can leave surgically, but robust adjuvant Rx essential. Pt suitability problems.
3. Axilla ACOSOG ZOO10 Clinically and USS node -, SNB+ ITCs and micromets -> not clinically significant (observe after SNB) If SNB+ with limited macromets; ANC does not contribute to improved survival or LRR in BCS (? leave at SNB) ACOSOG ZOO11 Inv Br Ca 5 cm or less treated with BCS Clinically node negative, with 1-2 +ve SNB macromets Randomised; standard adjuvant therapy(rt/chemo/endocrine Rx) vs ANC + Adjuvant therapy NB. Tangential field for BCS covers most of axilla in US practice and high rate of chemo given?applicability to general BC patient population
3. Axilla Important question is: What is % nodal macromet burden found on SNB/USS that accurately predicts presence of extra positive axillary nodes i.e. those patients that would benefit from an ANC. Z011 may be irrelevant if not giving systemic Rx (97% had adjuvant treatment, 75% had chemo!)
3. Axilla ANC or RT in SNB+ Amaros Trial Small (<3cm) tumours. Clinically -ve but snb +ve No benefit of RT vs ANC for survival Less lymphoedema with RT 2* difference in LRR (does this equate to poorer survival later?) Underpowered POSNOC Trial POSNOC - POsitive Sentinel NOde: adjuvant therapy alone versus adjuvant therapy plus Clearance or axillary radiotherapy. RCT of axillary treatment in women EBC who have metastases in one or two sentinel nodes 10yrs until we will get results.
RT: IORT TARGIT-A Trial Non-inferiority RCT After BCS, 90% LR in index quadrant despite the presence of multicentric cancers. IORT might be adequate for selected patients. 2 arms; IORT - tumor bed irradiation 20 Gy to surgical margins using soft x-rays (50 kv) delivered with the Intrabeam Photon Radiosurgery System (Zeiss Inc, Oberkochen, Germany). 1113 patients IORT and 1119 WBRT Kaplan-Meier estimate of LR in conserved breast at 4 years 1 20% (95% CI 0 53 2 71) in IORT and 0 95% (0 39 2 31) in WBRT (difference 0 25%, 1 04 to 1 54; p=0 41).

Is oncoplastic breast surgery really necessary?
Oncoplastic Breast Surgery Surgery for breast cancer that optimises both the oncological and FOR THE cosmetic outcomes
SELECTION Important! Simple lumpectomy (Partial Mastectomy) +/- Level I Oncoplastic closure Level II Oncoplastic Closure; Volume Displacement Therapeutic Mammaplasty Volume Replacement Chest wall perforator Flaps Fat grafting
Aesthetic outcome BCS Negatively influenced by; increasing specimen weight and % volume excision decreasing breast size medial and inferior tumour position Radiotherapy, boost of radiotherapy to tumour bed re-excision procedures and increasing scar length 12,15,16. large breasted women; increased adiposity combined with greater dose inhomogeneity may contribute to fat necrosis and fibrosis, resulting in impaired long term cosmetic outcomes.
Aesthetic outcome Pronounced breast asymmetry after BCS is significantly correlated with poor psychosocial functioning Constant reminder of the disease and treatment experience, leading to impaired psychological adjustment Women with pronounced asymmetry are more likely to exhibit depressive symptoms.oncoplastic techniques

The Impact of Partial Breast Reconstruction Using Reduction Techniques on Postoperative Cancer Surveillance Losken, Albert M.D.; Schaefer, Timothy G. M.D.; Newell, Mary M.D.; Styblo, Toncred M.

Conclusions Predictable mammographic appearances after BTM, comparable to WLE No significant difference in the rate of additional imaging or biopsies in the BTM group compared to WLE BTM does not interfere with cancer surveillance for the experienced Radiologist
Summary Incorporate reconstruction into oncologic decision making for best outcomes reduced surgical exposure and better aesthetic outcomes Many controversies; MDTs essential Work together for better patient outcomes
