Schulze AK, Hoskin TL, Moldoveanu D, Sturz JL, Boughey JC. Tumor Characteristics of Bilateral Breast Cancer Compared with Unilateral Breast Cancer. Ann Surg Oncol 2024; 31:947-956. [PMID: 37906382 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-023-14451-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bilateral breast cancer (BC) has an incidence of 1 to 3 %. This study aimed to describe the clinicopathologic characteristics and management of bilateral BC, estimate disease-free survival (DFS), and compare DFS with unilateral BC. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed for patients who had bilateral invasive BC or unilateral invasive BC and contralateral ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) treated at Mayo Clinic Rochester from 2008 to 2022. A 4:1 matched cohort of patients with unilateral invasive BC was used for comparison. The groups were compared using Wilcoxon rank-sum or chi-square tests. Disease-free survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test, with Cox proportional hazards regression used for multivariable analysis. RESULTS The study identified 278 cases of bilateral breast cancer (177 cases of bilateral invasive cancer and 101 cases of unilateral invasive cancer with contralateral DCIS), representing 4.1 % of invasive BCs. Biologic subtype was concordant between sides in 79.8 % of the patients. Initial surgery was bilateral mastectomy for 76.6 %, bilateral lumpectomy for 20.5 %, and unilateral mastectomy with unilateral lumpectomy for 2.9 % of the patients. Pathogenic variants in breast cancer predisposition genes were present in 21.7 % of those tested. The patients who had bilateral BC presented with a higher cT category than the patients who had unilateral BC (p = 0.02), and a higher proportion presented with ILC (17.3 % vs 10.9 %; p = 0.004), estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) disease (89.2 % vs 84.2 %; p = 0.04), multicentric/multifocal disease (37.1 % vs 24.3 %; p < 0.001), breast cancer pathogenic variant (21.7 % vs 12.4 %; p = 0.02), and palpable presentation (48.2 % vs 40.8 %; p = 0.03). The patients with bilateral BC showed DFS similar to that for the unilateral BC cohort (p = 0.71). CONCLUSIONS Bilateral BCs most commonly are biologically concordant between sides. Bilateral BC presented more commonly with larger tumors, lobular histology, ER+ status, multicentricity or multifocality, pathogenic variant, and palpable disease. Bilateral BC is not associated with worse DFS than unilateral BC.

Abstract
This report describes a rare case of synchronous bilateral carcinoma of the breast in a postmenopausal female patient, with mucinous carcinoma measuring 5 cm in the left breast and multifocal multicentric lobular carcinoma in the right breast. The patient underwent a bilateral mastectomy with adjuvant chemotherapy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a case of mucinous carcinoma and infiltrating lobular carcinoma coexisting in distinct breasts.

Abstract
Background: Synchronous bilateral breast cancer (SBBC) provides a special condition where two independent breast tumors are exposed to cancer pharmacotherapy within a uniform pharmacokinetic milieu. Both senescence and apoptosis are established responses to therapy; however, they have potentially variable contributions to the overall outcome of treatment, which are yet to be determined. Methods: In this report, we describe the clinicopathological picture of two SBBC cases that received standard anticancer treatment and assess their expression profile of several molecular hallmarks of senescence and apoptosis. Results: Our analysis identified that synchronous tumors have variable expression profiles of both senescence- and apoptosis-associated biomarkers, despite comparable pathological responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and current survival rates. Conclusions: Our results highlight the variable expression of senescence- and apoptosis-associated markers in breast tumors (despite the shared somatic genetic background) and invites a large-scale assessment of both senescence and apoptosis in breast cancer tissue in vivo and their contribution to the pathological response and overall survival.

Predictive factors of major deviation (>20 mm) between lesion sizes measured by magnetic resonance imaging and histology for invasive lobular breast cancer. Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 2020; 251:14-19. [PMID: 32502770 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejogrb.2020.05.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2019] [Revised: 05/13/2020] [Accepted: 05/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify factors predictive of high discordance (>20 mm) between lesion sizes measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histology for invasive lobular breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data for all women with invasive lobular breast cancer (pure or associated with a component of invasive ductal carcinoma) between 1st January 2007 and 31st December 2016 were included in this study. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine factors predictive of high discordance (underestimation/overestimation by >20 mm) between tumour sizes measured by MRI and histology for invasive lobular breast cancer. RESULTS For overestimation, significant factors on univariate analysis were: menopausal status [odds ratio (OR) 0.27, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.10-0.71]; p = 0.01], hormone receptor (HR) status (HR negative, OR 1.64, 95 % CI 0.27-9.89; HR positive, OR 0.64, 95 % CI 0.21-1.88; p = 0.09) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (OR 10.33, 95 % CI 3.58-29.8; p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, menopausal status and neoadjuvant chemotherapy were found to be independent predictive factors of overestimation. For underestimation, significant factors on univariate analysis were: histological size (OR 1.05, 95 % CI 1.02-1.08; p < 0.0001) and the presence of an in-situ component (OR 4.66, 95 % CI 1.01-21.5; p = 0.02). These two factors were independent predictive factors of underestimation. CONCLUSION Independent predictive factors of overestimation/underestimation (threshold 20 mm) of tumour sizes measured by MRI compared with histology for invasive lobular breast cancer were identified.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to search for predictive factors of concordance between MRI and histological sizes for invasive lobular breast cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS All women managed for an invasive lobular breast cancer (pure or associated to a component of invasive ductal carcinoma) between 1st january 2007 and 31th december 2016 were included to the study. Univariable and multivariable analysis were performed to determine clinical or histological predictive factors of concordance between MRI and histological sizes for invasive lobular breast cancer (threshold 5mm). RESULTS During the study period 384 women were managed in our center for an invasive lobular carcinoma. We had access to the breast MRI of 246 of them. For a concordance witha threshold of 5mm, significant factors in univariate analysis were: menopausal status (OR 1.93[1.01-3.71], P=0.04), histological size (OR 0.97 [0.96-0.99], P<0.0001), lthe size of associated in situ component (OR 0.74 [0.32-1.71], P=0.01), multifocality (OR 0.56 [0.33-0.95] P=0.03) and the histological isolated invasive lobular carcinoma versus mixed ((OR 2.64 [1.01-6.91], P=0.03). In multivariate analysis, menopausal status, histological size and the histological isolated invasive lobular carcinoma versus mixed, were considered as independent predictive factors. CONCLUSION This work identified independent predictive factors of concordance between MRI and histological sizes for invasive lobular breast cancer (threshold 5mm).

Abstract
Synchronous bilateral breast cancers (SBBC) are characterized by extensive clinical and morphological heterogeneity, with an frequency between 1.5 and 3.2%. Women treated for unilateral breast cancer are at higher risk of developing contralateral breast cancer. Screening and advances in breast imaging have improved detection rates of SBBC. Our study aims to analyze the epidemiological, clinical, histological and therapeutic features of bilateral breast cancer. We conducted a cross-sectional study of patients with breast cancer treated at the Mohammed VI Center over a two year period. Statistical analysis of the results was performed using R. software. 31 patients had SBBC, representing 2.4% of breast cancer cases in our Center. The average age was 47.8 ± 8.4 years, 22.6% of patients used oral contraceptives. A family history of breast cancer was observed in 22.6% of cases. The most common histological type was invasive ductal carcinoma (58.1%), SBR grade II and III were common (38.7%). Hormone receptors were positive for progesterone (38.7%) and for estrogen (41.9%). HER2 was overexpressed in 20.0% of cases. 29.0% of patients received hormonal therapy and 3.2% targeted therapies. Our study showed that bilateral breast cancer represents a small percentage of all breast cancers but have specific clinical features that help to differentiate it from unilateral breast cancer.

Abstract
Préciser la fréquence, les facteurs de risque et le pronostic du cancer du sein bilatéral, à partir d'une étude rétrospective de 22 cas de cancer du sein bilatéral synchrone dans un pays du Maghreb. De 2002 à 2010, 625 patientes étaient prises en charge pour cancer du sein au service de Gynécologie-Obstétrique «C» du centre hospitalier universitaire de Casablanca. 22 cas de cancer bilatéral synchrone étaient diagnostiqués. Nos résultats sont comparés avec ceux de la littérature. La fréquence de la bilatéralité du cancer du sein synchrone était de 3,52% (22/625). L'intervalle de temps moyen entre les deux cancers est de 4 mois (0 à 6 mois). Les patientes âgées de moins de 40 ans lors du premier cancer avaient six fois plus de risque de développer un cancer au niveau du sein controlatéral que les femmes âgées de plus de 40 ans. Les patientes atteintes d'une tumeur T3 ou T4 avaient un risque neuf fois plus élevé que les autres. 90,9% (2/22) des cas des premiers cancers sont des adénocarcinomes infiltrants. Les types histologiques du premier et du douzième cancer étaient identiques dans 86,4% (19/22) des cas. Quant au pronostic, il dépend à la fois du stade du premier et du deuxième cancer et le traitement de ce dernier doit obéir aux mêmes règles du traitement du premier cancer. L'incidence du cancer bilatéral synchrone du sein est de 3,52% dans notre série. Le cancer du sein unilatéral constitue un facteur de risque de développement d'un cancer du sein controlatéral. Une surveillance à vie est nécessaire au cours d'un cancer du sein pour détecter un cancer controlatéral.

Abstract
Background The aim of the present study was to investigate potential risk factors for synchronous bilateral breast cancer sBBC). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed of patients diagnosed and treated with operable bilateral breast cancer (BBC) between June 2007 and December 2011. Risk factors for sBBC were evaluated in this cohort and further validated in a prospective observational validation analysis of patients between January 2012 and December 2012. Patients treated with operable unilateral breast cancer during the same period were used as a control group. Results A total of 11,247 patients with primary breast cancer underwent operations at the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center between June 2007 and December 2012. The incidence of sBBC was 1.6%. The age at diagnosis (HR = 2.4, 95% C.I.: 1.4–4.0, p = 0.001), presence of sclerosing adenosis (HR = 11.8, 95% C.I.: 5.3–26.3, p<0.001), lobular carcinoma component involvement (HR = 5.6, 95% C.I.: 2.6–12.1, p<0.001), and family history of first-degree relatives with breast cancer (HR = 2.0, 95% C.I.: 1.1–3.4, p<0.001) were independent risk factors for sBBC. A subsequent validation study failed to confirm the significance of family history. No significant difference on survival was found between patients with early-stage sBBC and control cases. Conclusions Patients with the presence of sclerosing in the affected breast, and lobular carcinoma component involvement may be at high risk for developing sBBC. This study supports the hypothesis that the host-carcinoma biological relationship, especially for the tumor microenvironment, played a critical role in the carcinogenesis of sBBC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of imaging procedures in the diagnosis of synchronous bilateral breast cancer (SBBC) PATIENTS AND METHODS: The patient group consisted of consecutive women undergoing managed for SBBC in our institution between January 2006 and July 2012. We defined SBBC as bilateral breast tumors diagnosed simultaneously or up to 3 months after initial diagnosis. Clinical data included comorbidities, BMI (kg/m(2)), preoperative breast imaging modalities used and their findings. RESULTS Of the 2322 patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer treated on the study period, 46 patients with the diagnosis of SBBC were enrolled to the study. A total of 41.3% patients had family history of breast cancer. A total of 56.52% had clinical symptoms. The most frequent situation of diagnosis (32.6%) was the association of a palpable tumor and a contralateral radiologic abnormality. MRI permitted the diagnosis of 19.6% occult contralateral lesions. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Clinical examination and conventional imaging procedures (mammography and sonography) detects the majority (76%) of synchronous contralateral breast cancers. A family history of breast cancer, a multifocal breast tumor or the presence of an invasive lobular carcinoma should be arguments for the realization of a breat MRI to eliminate contralateral malignancy.

Abstract
Bilateral breast cancer occurs in approximately 7% of surviving breast cancer patients. However, a dilemma exists concerning the notion of whether this represents a de novo second primary tumor versus a breast metastasis. We analyzed 81 patients with bilateral breast cancer, 47 (58%) synchronous tumors and 34 (42%) metachronous tumors. Additionally, charts were reviewed for age, family history, full histology data and biological receptors. We found there were no significant differences in concordance between the first and second primary tumors (in both synchronous and metachronous bilateral breast cancer) with respect to histology; grade; T-category; N-category; ER, PR and HER-2 status. In addition, there was no significant difference in the strength of correlation between ER and PR in the first and secondary primary tumors. Our findings suggest that the differentiation of the origin of contralateral breast cancer based on routine histological and biological concordance is inconclusive. Furthermore, the dilemma will continue to exist until additional molecular approaches are applied routinely for research purposes to resolve the debate.

Abstract
Bilateral breast cancer occurs in approximately 7% of surviving breast cancer patients. However, a dilemma exists concerning the notion of whether this represents a de novo second primary tumor versus a breast metastasis. We analyzed 81 patients with bilateral breast cancer, 47 (58%) synchronous tumors and 34 (42%) metachronous tumors. Additionally, charts were reviewed for age, family history, full histology data and biological receptors. We found there were no significant differences in concordance between the first and second primary tumors (in both synchronous and metachronous bilateral breast cancer) with respect to histology; grade; T-category; N-category; ER, PR and HER-2 status. In addition, there was no significant difference in the strength of correlation between ER and PR in the first and secondary primary tumors. Our findings suggest that the differentiation of the origin of contralateral breast cancer based on routine histological and biological concordance is inconclusive. Furthermore, the dilemma will continue to exist until additional molecular approaches are applied routinely for research purposes to resolve the debate.

Abstract
AIM The internal breast pedicle flap is not a well-known technique yet. Anyway, it is effective for some of breast reconstructions and partial thoracic defects. This technique is applied to patients presenting breast hypertrophy. In this article, we present the experience of our department in this technique, considering its indications, surgery details, complications that may occur and subsisting interrogations about this surgical approach. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two patients were treated with internal breast pedicle flap, one for controlateral breast reconstruction and one for coverage of partial thoracic defect. RESULTS Patients were followed; flap survival and aesthetic results were analyzed during consultations. Results were good and similar to other well-spread reconstruction techniques. CONCLUSION The internal breast pedicle flap is a relevant, reproducible and easy technique. Overall results are satisfying and allow the possibility of applying other techniques in case of failure. You have to keep in mind the risk of making a transfer of a potentially carcinogenic tissue for a patient having already presented a breast cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The prognosis of patients with synchronous bilateral breast cancer (SBBC) is usually based on the tumour with the worst pathological features. There is little evidence in the literature for this assumption, potentially impairing reasoned decisions on optimal adjuvant therapy.
Methods
This was a case–control study in which 68 women with SBBC were matched with 128 women with unilateral breast cancer. Both the GuysRisk prognostic model and the Nottingham Prognostic Index were used to determine the bilateral tumour with the poorer prognosis. Controls were matched for age, menopausal status, date of diagnosis, histological type and grade, and oestrogen receptor and axillary node status.
Results
Both prognostic models indicated the same side tumour with the worst prognosis. Kaplan–Meier survival curves for both disease-free and overall survival showed no significant difference in outcome between the two groups.
Conclusion
Prognosis was determined by the tumour with the worst prognosis, with no additional worsening of outcome incurred from the second tumour.
