Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Complications in Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy with Breast Reconstruction: A Systematic Review. J Clin Med 2024; 13:3535. [PMID: 38930063 PMCID: PMC11204446 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13123535] [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: 04/10/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Research advancing effective treatments for breast cancer is crucial for eradicating the disease, reducing recurrence, and improving survival rates. Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM), a common method for treating breast cancer, often leads to complications requiring re-operation. Despite advancements, the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for treating these complications remains underexplored. Therefore, we analyze the efficacy of HBOT in the post-operative care of patients undergoing NSM. Methods: A systematic search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library. Studies were assessed for eligibility using the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) framework and classified based on American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) levels of evidence. Seven studies, totaling a pool of 63 female patients, met the inclusion criteria. Among these studies, four were categorized as Level III (57.1%), one as Level IV (14.3%), and two as Level V (28.6%). These studies focused on HBOT's role in wound healing, the successful salvage of breast reconstruction, and the optimal timing for HBOT. Results: This review revealed that HBOT indeed has potential for improving tissue oxygenation, vascularization, and, consequently, wound healing. It is noted that HBOT is efficacious for mitigating post-NMS complications, including infections, re-operation, flap loss, seroma, and hematoma. Conclusions: Overall, HBOT could be beneficial in standard post-surgical care protocols for patients undergoing NSM due to its role in mitigating common adverse effects that occur after mastectomy. Despite promising outcomes, the recent literature lacks rigorous clinical trials and well-defined control groups, underscoring the need for further research to establish standardized HBOT protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preserving the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) in breast cancer surgery improves patient satisfaction and quality of life. The oncologic safety of NSM in tumors < 2 cm from the nipple remains in question. We conducted a systematic review to determine whether TND < 2 cm was associated with increased risk of LRR in patients undergoing NSM. METHODS We included studies of invasive or in situ breast cancer < 2 cm from NAC undergoing NSM which reported LRR rates. LRR rates were stratified by TND and culminated across studies. Cohort study quality was assessed using Newcastle-Ottawa Criteria. Meta-analysis was not possible due to heterogeneity in reporting survival outcomes. RESULTS We identified seven retrospective cohort studies with 2295 patients and 18 case series with 3507 patients. Direct tumor involvement of NAC was considered an absolute contraindication to NSM in all studies. In cohort studies, median follow-up was 31-112 (range 14-204) months. Cohorts with TND < 2 cm did not have a significantly higher rate of LRR. Amongst case series, 275 patients had TND < 2 cm. Combined LRR in case series was 2.6%, with median follow-up 10.4-71 (range 0-158) months. CONCLUSIONS Our systematic review did not identify TND < 2 cm as a significant risk factor for LRR. NSM appears oncologically safe in select patients with TND < 2 cm. Given the improved quality of life associated with NSM compared to skin-sparing mastectomy, we suggest NSM as the procedure of choice in appropriately selected patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Women of reproductive age are chronically underrepresented in breast cancer studies. Recent studies suggest that almost 40% of patients diagnosed with breast cancer who are of reproductive age want to have children after completing treatment. In this study, the authors evaluated patients of reproductive age who had undergone nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) and implant-based reconstruction. The authors compared those who became pregnant with those who did not with respect to clinical and radiologic changes that are reported at follow-up. METHODS Any patient 45 years of age or younger at the time of NSM was determined to be of reproductive age, selected for evaluation, and followed prospectively. The presence or absence of breast examination changes in the setting of pregnancy after NSM was recorded. RESULTS A total of 36 patients became pregnant after NSM, and 158 patients did not become pregnant after NSM. Of those who became pregnant, nearly half reported some clinical change just before or immediately after delivery. These changes included color change and discharge at the residual nipple-areola complex and palpable nodularity elsewhere. For those with palpable changes, an ultrasound was performed and hypoechoic lesions with variable vascularity were identified. For those who went on to excision, lactational hyperplasia was the most common diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS Ultrasound is an appropriate first-line investigation of breast changes, which can include hyperplasia of remaining ductal and glandular tissue. Patients who became pregnant after NSM commonly had clinical breast examination changes, but the majority of these changes were found to be benign on further evaluation.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features and Tumor-to-Nipple Distance for the Nipple-Areolar Complex Involvement of Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Korean J Radiol 2023; 24:739-751. [PMID: 37500575 PMCID: PMC10400374 DOI: 10.3348/kjr.2022.0846] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the accuracy of preoperative breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features and tumor-to-nipple distance (TND) for diagnosing occult nipple-areolar complex (NAC) involvement in breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS The MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases were searched for articles published until March 20, 2022, excluding studies of patients with clinically evident NAC involvement or those treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Study quality was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 tool. Two reviewers independently evaluated studies that reported the diagnostic performance of MRI imaging features such as continuity to the NAC, unilateral NAC enhancement, non-mass enhancement (NME) type, mass size (> 20 mm), and TND. Summary estimates of the sensitivity and specificity curves and the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve of the MRI features for NAC involvement were calculated using random-effects models. We also calculated the TND cutoffs required to achieve predetermined specificity values. RESULTS Fifteen studies (n = 4002 breast lesions) were analyzed. The pooled sensitivity and specificity (with 95% confidence intervals) for NAC involvement diagnosis were 71% (58-81) and 94% (91-96), respectively, for continuity to the NAC; 58% (45-70) and 97% (95-99), respectively, for unilateral NAC enhancement; 55% (46-64) and 83% (75-88), respectively, for NME type; and 88% (68-96) and 58% (40-75), respectively, for mass size (> 20 mm). TND had an area under the SROC curve of 0.799 for NAC involvement. A TND of 11.5 mm achieved a predetermined specificity of 85% with a sensitivity of 64%, and a TND of 12.3 mm yielded a predetermined specificity of 83% with a sensitivity of 65%. CONCLUSION Continuity to the NAC and unilateral NAC enhancement may help predict occult NAC involvement in breast cancer. To achieve the desired diagnostic performance with TND, a suitable cutoff value should be considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is increasingly used for women with breast cancer who are not candidates for conservative surgery. The authors previously reported satisfying results with NSM after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). METHODS From 2010 to 2020, 1072 women underwent mastectomy at the authors' institution. In this group, 433 NSMs were performed (40%). The only contraindications to NSM were close proximity to the nipple-areola complex (NAC), bloody discharge, and Paget disease. RESULTS In 112 cases involving 111 women, NSM followed NACT (group 1), whereas it was performed as primary surgery in 321 instances involving 306 women (group 2). At 5 years, local relapse was 7% in group 1 and 2% in group 2, although in the multivariate analysis, locoregional relapses (LRRs) did not differ between the two groups. An increased incidence of local relapse was associated with higher tumor stage (stage III; p = 0.046) and age younger than 51 years (p = 0.038). For 34 (30.3%) of the 111 women in group 1 with a pathologic complete response (pCR), no LRRs were recorded. Only one NAC recurrence was observed. Overall survival with each tumor stage did not differ between the two groups. No differences in complications were observed. Cosmetic results were satisfying in 83.8% of the cases and did not get worse after NACT. CONCLUSIONS The study data definitively confirm that NSM is safe even after NACT, with good cosmetic results and complications comparable with those in the primary surgery setting. Tumor stage and age were the only independent factors for local relapse. Patients with pCR enjoyed optimal locoregional control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) offers superior cosmetic outcomes and has been gaining wide acceptance. It has always been difficult to objectively quantify the risk of nipple-areola complex involvement (NACi). The goal was to develop a prediction model for clinical application. METHODS Patients who had a total mastectomy (TM) between January 2016 and January 2020 at a single institute formed the development cohort (n = 578) and those who had NSM + immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) between January 2020 and January 2021 formed the validation cohort (n = 112). The prediction model was developed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression studies. Based on NACi risk variables identified in the development cohort, a nomogram was created and evaluated in the validation cohort. Meanwhile, stratified analysis was performed based on the model's risk levels and was combined with intraoperative frozen pathology (IFP) to optimize the model. RESULTS Tumor central location, clinical tumor size (CTS) > 4.0 cm, tumor-nipple distance (TND) ≤ 1.0 cm, clinical nodal status positive (cN +), and KI-67 ≥ 20% were revealed to be good predictive indicators for NACi. A nomogram based on these major clinicopathologic variables was employed to quantify preoperative NACi risk. The accuracy was verified internally and externally. The diagnostic accuracy of IFP was 92.9%, sensitivity was 64.3%, and specificity was 96.9% in the validation group. Stratified analysis was then performed based on model risk. The diagnostic accuracy rates of IFP and NACiPM in low-risk, intermediate-risk, and high-risk respectively were 96.0%, 93.3%, 83.9%, 61.3%, 66.7%, and 83.3%. CONCLUSION We created a visual nomogram to predict NACi risk in breast cancer patients. The NACiPM can be used to distinguish the low, intermediate, and high risk of NAC before surgery. Combined with IFP, we can develop a decision-making system for the implementation of NSM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the increased utilization of nipple-sparing mastectomies (NSM), there is limited data examining long-term cancer recurrence rates in these patients. The objective of this study was to analyze breast cancer recurrence in patients who received therapeutic NSM with a median of 10 years of follow-up. METHODS All patients undergoing NSM at a single institution were retrospectively reviewed temporally to obtain a median of 10-years of follow up. Patient demographic factors, mastectomy specimen pathology, and oncologic outcomes were analyzed. Univariate analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for locoregional recurrence. RESULTS 126 therapeutic NSM were performed on 120 patients. The most frequently observed tumor histology included invasive ductal carcinoma (48.4%) and ductal carcinoma in situ (38.1%). Mean tumor size was 1.62 cm. Multifocal or multicentric disease and lymphovascular invasion were present in 31.0% and 10.3% of NSM specimens, respectively. Sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed in 84.9% of NSM and 17.8% were positive. The rate of positive frozen subareolar biopsy was 7.3% (n=82) and permanent subareolar pathology was 9.5% (n=126). The most frequently observed pathologic tumor stages was stage I (44.6%) and stage 0 (33.9%). Incidence of recurrent disease was 3.17% per mastectomy and 3.33% per patient. Upon univariate analysis, no demographic, operative, or tumor-specific variables were independent risk factors for locoregional recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Overall recurrence rates are low in patients undergoing NSM at a median follow-up of 10-years. Close surveillance should remain a goal for patients and their providers to promptly identify potential recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The indications for nipple-sparing mastectomy have broadened over time. Patients undergoing nipple-sparing mastectomy who have enlarged or ptotic breasts are at risk for skin flap and/or nipple-areola complex necrosis. Premastectomy mastopexy or breast reduction may reduce the risk for these complications. METHODS A retrospective review was undertaken in a series of patients who underwent premastectomy reduction mammaplasty or mastopexy followed by nipple-sparing mastectomy and immediate staged tissue expander/implant-based breast reconstruction. In each case, a subnipple biopsy was performed at the premastectomy procedure to clear it of any potential malignant involvement. In addition, the area under the areola was undermined to maximize the effect of the delay phenomenon on the eventual survival of the nipple-areola complex. Final reconstruction involved tissue expander exchange for a permanent implant with associated fat grafting. Data regarding surgical timing and selected postoperative complications were recorded. RESULTS In total, 39 implant-based reconstructions were performed in 20 patients. There were no cases of mastectomy flap necrosis, and partial necrosis of the nipple-areola complex with delayed wound healing was seen in two breasts in the same patient. All patients eventually completed the reconstructive process successfully. CONCLUSION Premastectomy mastopexy or breast reduction may afford a protective effect against mastectomy flap or nipple-areola complex necrosis in patients with large or ptotic breasts who subsequently undergo nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction.

Abstract
Several articles in the literature have demonstrated a promising role for breast MRI techniques that are more economic in total exam time than others when used as supplement to mammography for detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. There are many technical factors that must be considered in the shortened breast MRI protocols to cut down time of standard ones, including using optimal fat suppression, gadolinium-chelates intravascular contrast administrations for dynamic imaging with post processing subtractions and maximum intensity projections (MIP) high spatial and temporal resolution among others. Multiparametric breast MRI that includes both gadolinium-dependent, i.e., dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE-MRI) and gadolinium-free techniques, i.e., diffusion-weighted/diffusion-tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DWI/DTI) are shown by several investigators that can provide extremely high sensitivity and specificity for detection of breast cancer. This article provides an overview of the proven indications for breast MRI including breast cancer screening for higher than average risk, determining chemotherapy induced tumor response, detecting residual tumor after incomplete surgical excision, detecting occult cancer in patients presenting with axillary node metastasis, detecting residual tumor after incomplete breast cancer surgical excision, detecting cancer when results of conventional imaging are equivocal, as well patients suspicious of having breast implant rupture. Despite having the highest sensitivity for breast cancer detection, there are pitfalls, however, secondary to false positive and false negative contrast enhancement and contrast-free MRI techniques. Awareness of the strengths and limitations of different approaches to obtain state of the art MR images of the breast will facilitate the work-up of patients with suspicious breast lesions.

Abstract
Background Although nonmass enhancement (NME) extension to the nipple at preoperative MRI frequently leads to sacrifice of the nipple-areolar complex (NAC), its correlation with pathologically confirmed NAC involvement is unclear. Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of using NME extension to the subareolar region at breast MRI to predict pathologic nipple involvement and the eligibility for nipple-sparing mastectomy. Materials and Methods From November 2017 to November 2019, the authors prospectively enrolled participants with breast cancer and NME within 2 cm of the nipple at breast MRI who underwent surgery that included removal of the NAC. The authors evaluated NME extensions that were ipsilateral and contiguous with the biopsy-proven tumor lesions on images acquired during the early contrast phases. Pathologic nipple involvement and the distance from the nipple to the nearest cancer cell were evaluated by using serial vertical sectioning of the area extending from the entire NAC to the tumor. The primary end point was the positive predictive value (PPV) of NME, which was calculated as follows: (number with pathologic nipple invasion and NME extension to the nipple at breast MRI/number with NME extension to the nipple at breast MRI) × 100. Results Of 64 women (mean age, 52 years ± 9.8 [standard deviation]), 49 (77%) had NME extension to the nipple at breast MRI. The PPV of NME extension to the nipple was 86% (42 of 49 women; 95% CI: 73, 94). Among the 15 participants without NME extension to the nipple, only one (7%) had pathologic nipple involvement. The diagnostic accuracy of using NME extension to the nipple was 88% (56 of 64 women; 95% CI: 77, 95). The radiologic distance correlated well with the pathologic distance (Spearman correlation coefficient = 0.71, P = .003). Conclusion Nonmass enhancement extension to the nipple base at preoperative MRI has a high positive predictive value for identifying tumor involvement of the nipple, a contraindication to nipple-sparing mastectomy. © RSNA, 2021 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Abstract
Pathologic nipple discharge (PND) is typically unilateral, spontaneous, involves a single duct, and is serous or bloody in appearance. In patients with PND, breast MRI can be helpful as an additional diagnostic tool when conventional imaging with mammogram and ultrasound are negative. MRI is able to detect the etiology of nipple discharge in 56-61% of cases when initial imaging with mammogram and ultrasound are negative. Advantages to using MRI in evaluation of PND include good visualization of the retroareolar breast and better evaluation of posterior lesions which may not be well evaluated on mammograms and galactograms. It is also less invasive compared to central duct excision. Papillomas and nipple adenomas are benign breast masses that can cause PND and are well visualized on MRI. Ductal ectasia, and infectious etiologies such as mastitis, abscess, and fistulas are additional benign causes of PND that are well evaluated with MRI. MRI is also excellent for evaluation of malignant causes of PND including Paget's disease, ductal carcinoma in-situ and invasive carcinoma. MRI's high negative predictive value of 87-98.2% is helpful in excluding malignant etiologies of PND.

Abstract
Purpose The possibility of axillary node metastasis via the lymphatics might be related to a cancer’s location within the breast. Previous studies of this topic had small sample sizes, inaccuracies because of subjective differences, and the inability to depict the entire three-dimensional structure of the breast. Here, we aimed to improve upon these existing drawbacks by retrospectively analysing whether tumour location (quadrants) and tumour–nipple distance can predict axillary node positivity. Patients and Methods We identified 961 patients with invasive breast cancer between January 2000 and April 2016. The tumour–nipple distance was objectively measured intraoperatively and clinicopathological information was extracted from hospital database. The distance was measured radially from the nipple to the epicentre rather than the edge of tumour to obviate confounders resulting from tumour size variations. Results A total of 847 breast cancers (839 patients) met the eligibility criteria and were included in the statistical analysis. The tumour–nipple distance was smaller in node-positive patients (n = 307; 2.76 ± 2.07 cm) than in node-negative patients (n = 297; 3.41 ± 2.18 cm) (p < 0.001). Tumour–nipple distance was an independent predictor of axillary involvement on logistic regression analysis. However, no statistically significant relationship was detected between node positivity and breast quadrant tumour location. Conclusion Tumour–nipple distance can be used to predict axillary lymph node metastasis and assist in surgical decision-making and therapy planning. However, exploratory studies are required to increase our understanding of the mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A short tumor-to-nipple distance (TND) is reported as a strong predictor of nipple-areola complex (NAC) involvement. Eligibility for nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) remains controversial, especially regarding TND. In this study, we compared long-term oncologic outcomes after NSM between patients with a TND ≤ 1 cm and those with a TND > 1 cm. METHODS Overall, 1369 patients with primary breast cancer who underwent NSM with immediate reconstruction from March 2003 to December 2015 were included for analysis. After propensity score matching, 495 patients with a TND ≤ 1 cm (group A) and 495 patients with a TND > 1 cm (group B) on imaging were selected to compare long-term oncologic outcomes. RESULTS After matching, the median follow-up periods for surviving patients were 109 months and 112 months for groups A and B, respectively. There were no significant differences between groups with respect to the 5-year cumulative local recurrence (8.1% vs. 6.3%; p = 0.268), NAC recurrence (5.1% vs. 2.8%; p = 0.072), regional recurrence (2.0% vs. 3.6%; p = 0.125), or distant recurrence (5.9% vs. 4.8%; p = 0.480) rates. Furthermore, no significant differences were observed between the groups with respect to the 10-year local recurrence-free survival (87.1% vs. 90.7%; p = 0.164) or disease-free survival (77.9% vs. 81.6%; p = 0.222) rates. CONCLUSIONS A preoperative TND ≤ 1 cm on imaging should not be contraindicated to NSM as long as there is no involvement of NAC clinically or on imaging and if retroareolar margins are confirmed to be negative for tumor cells.

Abstract
Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) has been associated with improved quality of life and patient satisfaction with similar oncologic outcomes compared with traditional mastectomy techniques. By conserving the nipple-areola complex and the majority of the breast skin envelope, NSM allows for improved aesthetic outcomes after breast reconstruction. However, the technique is also associated with a steep learning curve that must be considered to achieve optimal outcomes. It is important that the plastic surgeon functions in concert with the extirpative breast surgeon to optimize outcomes because the reconstruction is ultimately dependent on the quality of the overlying mastectomy flaps. Various other factors influence the complex interplay between aesthetic and reconstructive outcomes in NSM, including preoperative evaluation, specific implant- and autologous-based considerations, as well as techniques to optimize and correct nipple-areola complex position. Management strategies for complications necessary to salvage a successful reconstruction are also reviewed. Lastly, techniques to expand indications for NSM and maximize nipple viability as well as preshape the breast are discussed. Through thoughtful preoperative planning and intraoperative technique, ideal aesthetic results in NSM may be achieved.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY To assess the early complications and outcomes of the treatment of patients undergoing nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) with immediate breast reconstruction. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed on 120 patients who underwent 130 NSM (10 bilateral) procedures between 1.01.2015 and 31.12.2017 in two oncology centers in Poland. In 80 patients a breast cancer was recognized. Sixteen patients underwent operations on the basis of being carriers of the BRCA1 mutation. The follow-up period ranged from 10 to 34 months. The NSM procedures were performed with or without skin reduction and a free nipple-areola complex (NAC) transplant, with 130 prosthetic devices inserted subpectorally. Breast cancer patients followed the standard protocol for adjuvant therapy. RESULTS The patients for risk-reducing mastectomies were younger. Prevalent histology was no special type (NST) in 60 out of 80 patients, mean tumor - NAC distance was 43.3 mm. The prevalent biological subtype was Luminal B HER2-negative. Adjuvant management consisted of chemotherapy in 61 and radiotherapy in 35 patients. We noted 14 cases of complications, 13 in the cancer group, and 1 in the non-cancer group. Skin necrosis was the most common. The mean time for the appearance of the complications was 2.8 months. No local recurrences were observed. CONCLUSIONS NSM is a safe and effective surgical option for qualified patients with breast cancer and in risk-reducing mastectomies.

A novel MRI-based predictive index can identify patients suitable for preservation of the nipple-areola complex in breast reconstructive surgery. Eur J Surg Oncol 2020; 47:225-231.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Accurately predicting nipple-areola complex (NAC) involvement in breast cancer is necessary for identifying patients who may be candidates for a nipple-sparing mastectomy. Although multiple risk factors are indicated in the guidelines, it is difficult to predict NAC involvement (NAC-i) preoperatively even if these factors are evaluated individually. This study aimed to develop a more accurate and practical preoperative NAC-i prediction model using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS All tumors in 252 patients were evaluated using postcontrast T1-weighted subtraction on MRI. RESULTS The receiver operating characteristic curves identified cut-off values for tumor size and tumor-to-nipple distance (TND) as 4 cm and 1.2 cm, respectively. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that TND (p < 0.001), ductal enhancement extending to the nipple (DEEN) (p < 0.001), and nipple enhancement (NE) (p = 0.005) were independent clinical risk factors for pathological NAC-i. A formula was constructed using odds ratios for these three independent preoperative risk factors in multivariate analysis: the MRI-based NAC-i predictive index (mNACPI) = TND × 4 + DEEN × 3 + NE × 1. A total score of ≤4 points was defined as low risk and ≥5 points as high risk. NAC-i rates were 2.4% in the low-risk group and 89.4% in the high-risk group; a significant correlation was observed between the risk group and permanent pathological NAC-i (p < 0.001). Assuming that the NAC was preserved in low-risk patients and resected in high-risk patients, NAC-i was verified using the mNACPI. CONCLUSION mNACPI may contribute greatly to the improvement of selecting suitable patients for NAC preservation in breast reconstructive surgery while maintaining oncological safety.

Abstract
Breast multidisciplinary tumor boards (MTBs) play an important role in determining treatment. This article serves as a guide for the radiologist participating in a breast MTB, as the information presented at MTB can significantly influence treatment plans and dictate future steps for further patient work-up. Multidisciplinary tumor board preparation involves a careful review of the patient's history while gathering all relevant imaging studies, and reinterpreting them when appropriate. Presented images should be carefully selected, annotated, and displayed clearly before providing final recommendations for localization and incompletely assessed findings. Anatomic staging factors from the AJCC Breast Cancer Staging System, such as tumor size and degree of suspected skin involvement, should be described. In addition, there are many other types of information that the treatment specialists want to know. The surgeon is interested in anatomic information that will help them decide whether breast conservation therapy is feasible or if local structures, such as the nipple, can be spared. The radiation oncologist may need to know whether accelerated partial breast irradiation is feasible or if postmastectomy radiation therapy is indicated. The medical oncologist is looking for factors that may provide an indication for neoadjuvant therapy and ensuring there is a reliable follow-up method for evaluating the response to treatment, such as comparative MRI. Additionally, all specialists need to know the extent of suspected nodal involvement. By clearly and comprehensively presenting this information to the rest of the MTB team, the radiologist provides a vital contribution that guides treatment and ensures adherence to clinical guidelines.

Abstract
The anatomic and histologic characteristics of the nipple-areolar complex make this breast region special. The nipple-areolar complex can be affected by abnormal development and a wide spectrum of pathological conditions, many of which have unspecific clinical and radiological presentations that can present a challenge for radiologists. The nipple-areolar complex requires a specific imaging workup in which a multimodal approach is essential. Radiologists need to know the different imaging modalities used to study the nipple-areolar complex, as well as their advantages and limitations. It is essential to get acquainted with the acquisition technique for each modality and the spectrum of findings for the different conditions. This review describes and illustrates a combined clinical and radiological approach to evaluate the nipple-areolar complex, emphasizing the findings for the normal morphology, developmental abnormalities, and the most common benign and malignant diseases that can affect this region. We also present a diagnostic algorithm that enables a rapid, practical approach to diagnosing condition involving the nipple-areolar complex.

Direct-to-Implant Breast Reconstruction with Simultaneous Nipple-Sparing Mastopexy Utilizing an Inferiorly Based Adipodermal Flap: Our Experience with Prepectoral and Subpectoral Techniques. Plast Reconstr Surg 2020; 145:1125-1133.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Direct-to-implant breast reconstruction continues to grow in popularity among reconstructive breast surgeons and patients alike. Women with large breasts and ptosis are often thought not to be candidates for nipple sparing or direct-to-implant reconstruction. The authors utilized a single-stage, nipple-sparing, direct-to-implant reconstruction with simultaneous mastopexy, while the nipple-areolar complex was kept viable on an inferiorly based adipodermal flap in a single stage. They report their experience and outcomes using this approach in women with breast ptosis and/or macromastia. METHODS The authors reviewed all direct-to-implant reconstructions with simultaneous nipple-sparing mastopexies performed from June of 2015 to March of 2019. Sixty-five patients and 125 breast reconstructions were analyzed. RESULTS Among the 65 patients (125 breast reconstructions), 15 (23 percent) had implants placed in the prepectoral space, and 50 (77 percent) had them placed subpectorally. Forty-seven patients (72 percent) had acellular dermal matrix used. Partial nipple-areolar complex necrosis occurred in six patients (9 percent). Other complications included partial mastectomy flap necrosis (n = 8 patients, 12 percent), implant exposure (n = 3, 4 percent), infection (n = 1, 1 percent), capsular contracture (n = 4, 6 percent), and reoperation (n = 11, 16 percent). Mean follow-up was 17 months (range, 3 to 47 months). There have been no cancer recurrences reported in any participants to date. CONCLUSIONS Nipple-sparing mastectomy with mastopexy and immediate direct-to-implant reconstruction dramatically improved the authors' results for implant-based breast reconstruction patients. The higher than expected explantation rate of 7 percent early in the study has since improved. This approach provides an opportunity to expand indications for nipple-sparing mastectomy and direct-to-implant reconstruction to women with breast ptosis and/or macromastia. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic, IV.

Tumor-to-Nipple Distance in Selecting Patients for Nipple-sparing Mastectomy. PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY-GLOBAL OPEN 2020; 8:e2963. [PMID: 32802657 PMCID: PMC7413816 DOI: 10.1097/gox.0000000000002963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2020] [Accepted: 05/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is a valid option for carefully selected cases. Oncologic guidelines have not been established, but proximity of the tumor to the nipple, tumor size, lymph node involvement, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy have been suggested as contraindications to nipple preservation. This study describes our experience with NSM in relation to these factors, in particular distance of tumor from the nipple, to help establish evidence-based guidelines for NSM.

Abstract
Background Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM), followed by immediate reconstruction (IR) of the breast, has become a preferred surgical procedure with good cosmesis results and patient satisfaction. However, nipple-areolar complex (NAC) ischemia and necrosis remain major problems after NSM and IR. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent NSM and IR at Gangnam Severance Hospital from January 2009 to June 2018. We compared the patient characteristics and complication rate among three different incisions (inframammary fold [IMF], radial, periareolar). Additionally, we identified the risk factors of NAC necrosis. Results Data from 290 eligible breasts in 275 patients were analyzed. Patients with IMF incision had relatively lower breast weights. The overall complication rate was the highest with periareolar incision and the lowest with IMF incision (42.6% vs. 18.8%, p < 0.001). The rate of NAC ischemia or necrosis was significantly different among the three incisions (9.7%, 17.0%, and 31.1% in IMF, radial, and periareolar, respectively; p < 0.001). Moreover, surgical treatments were more frequently needed in patients with periareolar incision. Periareolar incision, short distance from the tumor to the nipple base, and large breast weight were independent risk factors of NAC ischemia or necrosis in multivariable analysis. Conclusions Compared with IMF incision, periareolar incision was associated with higher incidences of surgical complications and NAC necrosis. Careful consideration is needed when planning NSM in patients with a large breast volume or a tumor close to the nipple. Periareolar incision shows higher complication rate in nipple-sparing mastectomy. Periareolar incision is a risk factor for nipple-areolar complex necrosis. Other risk factors include tumor-nipple distance and breast weight.

Significance of Non-Mass Enhancement in the Subareolar Region on Preoperative Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy. Clin Breast Cancer 2020; 20:e458-e468. [PMID: 32201166 DOI: 10.1016/j.clbc.2020.02.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2020] [Revised: 02/13/2020] [Accepted: 02/15/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The eligibility for nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) regarding subareolar non-mass enhancement (NME) on breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was not clear. This study aimed to evaluate the eligibility for NSM according to the NME-to-nipple distance on preoperative breast MRI. METHODS We identified patients with breast cancer who underwent mastectomy with NME suspected of malignancy in the subareolar region on preoperative breast MRI. The incidence of nipple invasion was pathologically evaluated according to the NME-to-nipple distance on breast MRI, and the clinicopathologic factors related to pathologic nipple invasion were analyzed. RESULTS Of 137 patients, 55 (40.1%) had NME extension to the nipple, 53 (38.7%) had radiologic distance less than 2 cm, and 29 (21.2%) had radiologic distance of 2 cm or more. The rate of pathologic nipple invasion was 52.7% (29 of 55) in patients with NME extension to nipple, 7.5% (4 of 53) in patients with NME-to-nipple distance less than 2 cm, and 3.4% (1 of 29) in patients with NME-to-nipple distance of 2 cm or more (P < .001). NME extension to the nipple was an independent risk factor for pathologic nipple invasion (odds ratio 21.702; 95% confidence interval, 2.613-180.225; P = .004). The survival outcome was not different between NSM and conventional total mastectomy/skin-sparing mastectomy in patients with radiologic distance less than 2 cm, but without NME extension to the nipple. CONCLUSIONS NSM is an acceptable procedure in patients with breast cancer with a low incidence of pathologic nipple invasion when there is no evidence of NME extension to the nipple on preoperative breast MRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgeons remain reluctant to perform nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) in large breasts due to a higher risk of necrosis. We performed a systematic review of the literature to evaluate indications, techniques, and outcomes in immediate or delayed breast reconstructions in large and/or ptotic breasts. METHODS The following search terms were used for both titles and key words: [NSM AND ("breast ptosis" OR "ptotic breast" OR "large breast" OR "breast hypertrophy" OR "gigantomastia")]. All forms of breast reconstruction in large and/or ptotic breasts from 1990 through September 1st 2018 reporting indications, techniques, and outcomes were included. RESULTS Thirty-one studies met the inclusion criteria, yielding 1128 NSMs (709 immediate and 419 delayed) in 629 patients for analysis. The overall complication rate was 29.08%. The mastectomy flap necrosis rate was 12%, the partial nipple-areola complex (NAC) necrosis 11%, and the complete NAC rate 11%. The overall complication rate in one-stage versus delayed reconstructions was 37.52% versus 14.8%. The incidence of necrosis in one-stage versus delayed reconstructions was 5.36% versus 2.15% for partial, 5.08% versus 0.48% for complete NAC necrosis, and 4.8% versus 1.43% for skin flap necrosis. CONCLUSIONS The majority of studies being small and retrospective as well as the large variation in outcomes indicates that we lack consensus on the timing of reconstruction or ideal technique. A noticeable difference in skin flap and NAC necrosis, however, is seen in the favor of NAC-delayed procedures. Randomized controlled trials are mandatory to prove this difference significantly.

Abstract
Purpose Although the indications for nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) are expanding, there remains a debate regarding the oncologic outcomes of patients treated with this method, especially those with a short tumor–nipple distance (STND). The aim of this study was to compare the long-term oncologic outcomes between patients with a long tumor–nipple distance (LTND) (≥ 2.0 cm) and those with STND (< 2.0 cm). Methods This was a retrospective study in which 266 patients who underwent NSM with immediate breast reconstruction between January 2008 and December 2014 at a single institution were enrolled. Of these patients, 21 were excluded because of loss to follow-up; thus, 245 patients were finally analyzed. All patients underwent preoperative breast magnetic resonance imaging and intraoperative frozen biopsy. Results The mean age of the patients was 42.4 years. STND was identified in 128 patients, and LTND in 117 patients. The mean follow-up period was 60.5 months. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups with respect to lymphovascular invasion, nuclear grade, nodal status, and subtype (p = 0.339, 0.372, 0.955, and 0.338, respectively). The STND group had significantly smaller tumors than the LTND group (p = 0.005). The median TND in the STND and LTND groups was 0.7 cm and 3.0 cm, respectively. Locoregional recurrence was reported in 4 patients in the STND group (3.1%) and 6 (5.1%) in the LTND group. A total of 3 patients died (1.2%; 2 in the STND group and one in the LTND group). There was no significant difference between the 2 groups with respect to disease-free survival or local recurrence-free survival (p = 0.334 and p = 0.477, respectively). Conclusion The long-term oncologic outcomes of patients treated with NSM did not significantly differ according to TND when the intraoperative frozen biopsy was negative for tumor cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) and nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) are the standard techniques for achieving a cosmetic outcome, but necrosis of a cutaneous flap including the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) is a serious complication. To analyze the risk factors for skin flap necrosis, we retrospectively evaluated a clinical database of breast cancer patients treated with mastectomy followed by immediate breast reconstruction. METHODS Four hundred and twelve cases were consecutively recorded between 2006 and 2016. Body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), distance from NAC to referent tumor, distance from overlying skin to the tumor and weight of breast resection (WBR) as measured in the operating theater were included in the statistical analysis. RESULTS NSM, SSM and total mastectomy were performed in 123 (30%), 96 (23%) and 193 cases (47%), respectively. A tissue expander was used in 379 cases (92%), a silicone implant in 8 (2%) and autologous breast reconstruction in 25 (6%). Skin flap necrosis was found in 7% of all cases and NAC necrosis in 13% of NSM cases. In a univariate analysis, BW, NSM and WBR were risk factors for skin flap necrosis, and BW, BMI and WBR were risk factors for NAC necrosis. In a multivariate analysis, NSM and WBR remained significant risk factors for skin flap necrosis, and WBR was a significant risk factor for NAC necrosis. CONCLUSIONS WBR is an important risk factor for skin flap necrosis. Especially, NAC necrosis should be considered for patients with large-volume breasts who undergo NSM and immediate breast reconstruction.

Oncologic outcomes and radiation safety of nipple-sparing mastectomy with intraoperative radiotherapy for breast cancer. Breast Cancer 2019; 26:618-627. [PMID: 30888580 DOI: 10.1007/s12282-019-00962-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2018] [Accepted: 03/11/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nipple-sparing mastectomy combined with breast reconstruction helps to optimize the contour of the breast after mastectomy. However, the indications for nipple-sparing mastectomy are still controversial. Local radiation to the nipple-areola complex may play some roles in improving the oncological safety of this procedure. METHODS From January 2014 to December 2017, 41 consecutive patients who underwent nipple-sparing mastectomy combined with Intrabeam intraoperative radiotherapy to the nipple-areola complex flap and breast reconstruction were enrolled in this prospective study. The prescribed radiation dose at the surface of the spherical applicator was 16 Gy. RESULTS In eight cases, carcinomas were in the central portion of the breast. Partial necrosis of the nipple-areola complex occurred in three cases. Over 90% of patients reported "no or poor sensation" of the nipple-areola complex postoperatively. With a median follow-up time of 26 months, no recurrences or metastases were identified; however, breast-cancer mortality occurred in one patient. Pathologic evaluation of paraffin-embedded sections showed ductal carcinoma in situ in the remaining tissues deep to the nipple-areola complex flap in two patients. Although no further treatment was administered to the nipple-areola complexes postoperatively, no recurrences or metastases were identified 20 months and 24 months later, respectively. Optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy revealed changes in some normal tissues immediately after Intrabeam intraoperative radiotherapy. Karyopyknosis were observed in gland tissues, and the collagenous fibers became sparse and arranged chaotically. As assessed by thermoluminescence, radiation doses at different sites in the nipple-areola complex flap varied considerably and were about 10 Gy at the areola surface. No Intrabeam intraoperative radiotherapy-related acute or chronic radiation injuries of the lung, heart or bone marrow were identified. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that Intrabeam intraoperative radiotherapy during nipple-sparing mastectomy combined with breast reconstruction is safe and feasible. TRIAL REGISTRATION The current study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University (registering order 201750). All participants gave their written informed consent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies of robotic nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM) were reported. We report feasibility of robotic NSM and determine standard surgical procedure and learning curve threefold. METHODS A cohort of patients with robotic NSM for breast cancer was analyzed. Complications and post-operative hospitalization stay were reported. The same technic was used for all patients except for skin and nipple areolar complex (NAC) dissection. Differences between three surgical procedures of NAC dissection were analyzed: group 1, dissection with robotic scissors using coagulation; group 2, dissection with robotic scissors without coagulation; and group 3, dissection with non-robotic scissors and then robotic dissection. We explored possible effect of learning curve among patients from group 1 with the same surgical procedure. RESULTS Twenty-seven NSM with immediate breast reconstruction for breast cancers, 22 invasive and 5 in situ, were performed, with robotic latissimus dorsi-flap (RLDF) only in 17 cases, RLDF and breast implant in 6 cases, and implant alone in 4 cases. Repartition according to 3 surgical procedure groups was 16, 5, and 6 patients. Mean time of surgery and anesthesia decrease according to groups 1 to 3. Among 16 patients from group 1, time of surgery and anesthesia decreased with learning curve. Post-operative hospitalization decreased from group 1 to 3. We reported a total of 11 complications, with significant difference between groups (10 for group 1). Skin complications were higher for group 1 in comparison with groups 2-3 (p = 0.02). CONCLUSION Robotic NSM can be performed with a brief learning. Standardized technique is proposed with non-robotic scissors superficial dissection and then dissection with robot.

Abstract
Purpose Indications for nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) have broadened to include the risk reducing setting and locally advanced tumors, which resulted in a dramatic increase in the use of NSM. The Oncoplastic Breast Consortium consensus conference on NSM and immediate reconstruction was held to address a variety of questions in clinical practice and research based on published evidence and expert panel opinion. Methods The panel consisted of 44 breast surgeons from 14 countries across four continents with a background in gynecology, general or reconstructive surgery and a practice dedicated to breast cancer, as well as a patient advocate. Panelists presented evidence summaries relating to each topic for debate during the in-person consensus conference. The iterative process in question development, voting, and wording of the recommendations followed the modified Delphi methodology. Results Consensus recommendations were reached in 35, majority recommendations in 24, and no recommendations in the remaining 12 questions. The panel acknowledged the need for standardization of various aspects of NSM and immediate reconstruction. It endorsed several oncological contraindications to the preservation of the skin and nipple. Furthermore, it recommended inclusion of patients in prospective registries and routine assessment of patient-reported outcomes. Considerable heterogeneity in breast reconstruction practice became obvious during the conference. Conclusions In case of conflicting or missing evidence to guide treatment, the consensus conference revealed substantial disagreement in expert panel opinion, which, among others, supports the need for a randomized trial to evaluate the safest and most efficacious reconstruction techniques.

Abstract
Nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM) has gained popularity especially in prophylactic mastectomies allowing improved cosmetics. Traditionally reconstruction has utilized implants or autologous tissue. With the development of large volume fat grafting additional reconstructive techniques can be utilized in NSM reconstruction. This can either complement a technique or be a standalone form of reconstruction. This paper is intended to serve as a broad overview of fat grafting and its potential role in reconstructing the breast following nipple sparing mastectomies.
