Vatteroni G, Pinna G, Trimboli RM, Levi R, Bolengo I, Patrone F, Volpe D, Fernandes B, Bernardi D. Role of ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy in the management of radiologic-pathologic discordance: a retrospective single-centre study. LA RADIOLOGIA MEDICA 2024:10.1007/s11547-024-01864-1. [PMID: 39102107 DOI: 10.1007/s11547-024-01864-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/26/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of US-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy (US-VAB) in radiologic-pathologic (rad-path) discordance in women with suspicious breast lesions. METHODS Two thousand three hundred and sixty patients with 2385 BI-RADS category 4 and 5 lesions underwent percutaneous US-guided CNB. Thirty-six lesions were classified as discordant benign and underwent second-line US-VAB. A 14-gauge needle was utilized for CNB and 10-gauge for US-VAB. Final pathology was the reference standard for women who underwent surgery, imaging follow-up in other cases. Rates of malignancy for US-VAB and subsequent surgery were evaluated. Lesions with upgrade and no upgrade to second-line VAB were compared in terms of patient's age, lesion type and characteristics, size and BI-RADS category. Positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) for BI-RADS categories and diagnostic performance for second-line US-VAB were calculated. p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant (t-test, Mann-Whitney, χ2). RESULTS US-VAB identified 10 B2, 9 B3 and 17 B5 lesions with upgrade to malignancy of 47.2% (17/36). There were 8 invasive no special type, 7 ductal in situ, 1 invasive lobular carcinoma and 1 angiosarcoma, and their distribution among BI-RADS categories was: 2/2 in BI-RADS 5 (100%), 12/18 in BI-RADS 4C (67%) and 3/16 in BI-RADS 4B lesions (19%) (p = 0.006). Of the remaining 19 lesions, 6 underwent surgery and 2 were upgraded to ductal carcinoma in situ; 13 underwent radiological follow-up and one resulted malignant. False-negative rate for US-VAB was 15.8% (3/19) with final upgrade to malignancy of 55% (20/36). The univariate analysis revealed mass shape (p = 0.008) and BI-RADS categories (p = 0.006) to be associated with upgrade to malignancy. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy for US-VAB were 85, 100, 100, 84 and 92%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS US-VAB identified almost 50% of cancers missed by CNB, avoiding surgical biopsies and validating as an effective mini-invasive approach in rad-path discordance.

Abstract
This article highlights the recent publications and changing trends in practice regarding management of high-risk lesions of the breast. Traditional management has always been a surgical operation but this is recognized as overtreatment. It is recognized that overdiagnosis is inevitable but what we can control is overtreatment. Vacuum-assisted excision is now established as an alternative technique to surgery for further sampling of these high-risk lesions in the United Kingdom. Guidelines from the United Kingdom and Europe now recognize this alternative pathway, and data are available showing that vacuum-assisted excision is a safe alternative to surgery.

Abstract
In Korea, the number of institutions providing breast MRI, as well as the number of breast MRIs, has recently increased. However, MRI-guided procedures, including biopsy and needle localization, are rarely performed compared to ultrasound-guided or stereotactic biopsy. As breast MRI has high sensitivity but limited specificity, lesions detected only on MRI require pathologic confirmation through MRI-guided biopsy or surgical excision with MRI-guided needle localization. Thus, we aimed to review MRI-guided procedures, including their indications, techniques, procedural considerations, and limitations.

Ann Surg Oncol 2021; 28:3243-3253. [PMID: 33263830 PMCID: PMC8119397 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-020-09273-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2020] [Accepted: 10/06/2020] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The added value of surgery in breast cancer patients with pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) is uncertain. The accuracy of imaging identifying pCR for omission of surgery, however, is insufficient. We investigated the accuracy of ultrasound-guided biopsies identifying breast pCR (ypT0) after NST in patients with radiological partial (rPR) or complete response (rCR) on MRI. METHODS We performed a multicenter, prospective single-arm study in three Dutch hospitals. Patients with T1-4(N0 or N +) breast cancer with MRI rPR and enhancement ≤ 2.0 cm or MRI rCR after NST were enrolled. Eight ultrasound-guided 14-G core biopsies were obtained in the operating room before surgery close to the marker placed centrally in the tumor area at diagnosis (no attempt was made to remove the marker), and compared with the surgical specimen of the breast. Primary outcome was the false-negative rate (FNR). RESULTS Between April 2016 and June 2019, 202 patients fulfilled eligibility criteria. Pre-surgical biopsies were obtained in 167 patients, of whom 136 had rCR and 31 had rPR on MRI. Forty-three (26%) tumors were hormone receptor (HR)-positive/HER2-negative, 64 (38%) were HER2-positive, and 60 (36%) were triple-negative. Eighty-nine patients had pCR (53%; 95% CI 45-61) and 78 had residual disease. Biopsies were false-negative in 29 (37%; 95% CI 27-49) of 78 patients. The multivariable associated with false-negative biopsies was rCR (FNR 47%; OR 9.81, 95% CI 1.72-55.89; p = 0.01); a trend was observed for HR-negative tumors (FNR 71% in HER2-positive and 55% in triple-negative tumors; OR 4.55, 95% CI 0.95-21.73; p = 0.058) and smaller pathological lesions (6 mm vs 15 mm; OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.87-1.00; p = 0.051). CONCLUSION The MICRA trial showed that ultrasound-guided core biopsies are not accurate enough to identify breast pCR in patients with good response on MRI after NST. Therefore, breast surgery cannot safely be omitted relying on the results of core biopsies in these patients.

Abstract
Background Breast intraductal papilloma is a heterogeneous group. The aim of the study is to investigate the intraductal breast papilloma and its coexisting lesions retrospectively in real‐world practice. Methods We retrospectively identified 4450 intraductal breast papilloma and its coexisting lesions. Results About 18.36% of intraductal papilloma coexisted with malignant lesions of the breast, 37.33% coexisted with atypia hyperplasia (AH), 25.24% coexisted with benign lesions, and only 19.10% coexisted without concomitant lesions. In addition, 36.80% of intraductal breast papilloma had nipple discharge, 51.46% had a palpable breast mass, and 16.45% had both nipple discharge and a palpable breast mass. About 28.18% experienced discomfort or were asymptomatic. Furthermore, 98.99% had ultrasound abnormalities, and 53.06% had intraductal hypoechogenicity upon ultrasound. 31.89% had mammographic distortion, and 14.45% had microcalcification upon mammography. Intraductal breast papilloma with malignancy had significant correlations with clinical manifestations. Conclusion Coexisting malignancy was also related to ultrasound abnormality (BIRADS 4C and 5), mammographic distortion, and microcalcification upon mammography but was not related to the intraductal hypoechoic upon ultrasound. Coexisting atypical hyperplasia correlated with nipple discharge but not palpable mass, mammographic distortion, or intraductal hypoechoic upon ultrasound. The coexisting AH was also related to abnormality upon ultrasound or microcalcification compared with the benign lesions. The intraductal papilloma coexists with malignancy or AH accounted for more than 50%, and the clinical information on papilloma and its coexisting lesions is nonspecific. We recommended surgical treatment for benign intraductal papillary lesions.

Abstract
We summarise here the information to be provided to women and referring physicians about percutaneous breast biopsy and lesion localisation under imaging guidance. After explaining why a preoperative diagnosis with a percutaneous biopsy is preferred to surgical biopsy, we illustrate the criteria used by radiologists for choosing the most appropriate combination of device type for sampling and imaging technique for guidance. Then, we describe the commonly used devices, from fine-needle sampling to tissue biopsy with larger needles, namely core needle biopsy and vacuum-assisted biopsy, and how mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis, ultrasound, or magnetic resonance imaging work for targeting the lesion for sampling or localisation. The differences among the techniques available for localisation (carbon marking, metallic wire, radiotracer injection, radioactive seed, and magnetic seed localisation) are illustrated. Type and rate of possible complications are described and the issue of concomitant antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy is also addressed. The importance of pathological-radiological correlation is highlighted: when evaluating the results of any needle sampling, the radiologist must check the concordance between the cytology/pathology report of the sample and the radiological appearance of the biopsied lesion. We recommend that special attention is paid to a proper and tactful approach when communicating to the woman the need for tissue sampling as well as the possibility of cancer diagnosis, repeat tissue sampling, and or even surgery when tissue sampling shows a lesion with uncertain malignant potential (also referred to as "high-risk" or B3 lesions). Finally, seven frequently asked questions are answered.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the minimum number of stereotactic 9-gauge vacuum-assisted biopsy specimens required to establish a final histopathological biopsy diagnosis of mammographically suspicious breast lesions. METHODS This prospective single-center observational cohort study included 120 women referred for stereotactic vacuum-assisted biopsy of 129 mammographically suspicious lesions between December 2017 and October 2018. Stereotactic 9-gauge vacuum-assisted biopsy was performed, acquiring twelve specimens per lesion. Calcification retrieval was assessed with individual specimen radiography. Each specimen was histologically analyzed in chronological order and findings were compared with the final histopathological result after assessment of all twelve specimens and with results of surgical excision. Cumulative diagnostic yield per specimen was calculated. RESULTS In total, 131 biopsy procedures were performed in 120 women (mean age 59 years). In 95% (95%CI 90%-98%) of the procedures a final histopathological diagnosis was reached after six specimens. After nine specimens the final biopsy diagnosis was established in all 131 cases. In the subgroup of 41 patients with a DCIS or invasive diagnosis at biopsy there were eight procedures (20%) where calcifications were retrieved before the diagnostic specimen was obtained. Underestimation of subsequent resection diagnosis occurred in six out of 30 excised lesions classified as DCIS (20%) and in one out of four excised high-risk lesions. CONCLUSIONS With six stereotactic 9-gauge vacuum-assisted biopsy specimens a final histopathological biopsy diagnosis could be established in 95% (95%CI 90%-98%) of the biopsy procedures. Taking nine 9-gauge specimens seems to be optimal. Ending the stereotactic vacuum-assisted breast biopsy procedure as soon as calcifications are retrieved may cause false negative results.

Abstract
Needle biopsy has replaced excisional biopsy as a definitive diagnostic technique for breast tumours, although excisional biopsy is still used for complete tumour removal for therapeutic and/or diagnostic purposes. Many vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VAB) systems have been made available by several manufacturers since the release of the Mammotome (MMT) by Johnson & Johnson in 1995. Several recent discussions have been conducted to identify whether core needle biopsy (CNB) or VAB, is more appropriate. However, currently available VAB systems differ from the conventional system (i.e. articulate arm type 11-gauge(G) MMT), and the characteristics of both CNB and VAB have been improved. In CNB, a 14-G needle is frequently used to obtain a larger sample. By contrast, VAB is considered easier to perform because it uses a thinner needle and a lighter, non-tethered system. When differentiating CNB from VAB, the type of VAB should also be defined. In this review, we discuss the characteristics of ultrasonography-guided VAB and CNB with a focus on practical issues such as the number of samples and volume of tissue obtained during ultrasonography-guided needle biopsy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prediction of axillary lymph node (ALN) status preoperatively is critical in the management of breast cancer patients. This study aims to develop a new set of nomograms to accurately predict ALN status. METHODS We searched the National Cancer Database to identify eligible female breast cancer patients with profiles containing critical information. Patients diagnosed in 2010-2011 and 2012-2013 were designated the training (n = 99,618) and validation (n = 101,834) cohorts, respectively. We used binary logistic regression to investigate risk factors for ALN status and to develop a new set of nomograms to determine the probability of having any positive ALNs and N2-3 disease. We used ROC analysis and calibration plots to assess the discriminative ability and accuracy of the nomograms, respectively. RESULTS In the training cohort, we identified age, quadrant of the tumor, tumor size, histology, ER, PR, HER2, tumor grade and lymphovascular invasion as significant predictors of ALNs status. Nomogram-A was developed to predict the probability of having any positive ALNs (P_any) in the full population with a C-index of 0.788 and 0.786 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. In patients with positive ALNs, Nomogram-B was developed to predict the conditional probability of having N2-3 disease (P_con) with a C-index of 0.680 and 0.677 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The absolute probability of having N2-3 disease can be estimated by P_any*P_con. Both of the nomograms were well-calibrated. CONCLUSIONS We developed a set of nomograms to predict the ALN status in breast cancer patients.

Abstract
The management of B3 lesions is both controversial and complicated. There have been recent publications regarding how best to manage this heterogeneous group particularly in light of the Marmot Review and with the advent of vacuum-assisted biopsy technique. It is recognized that B3 lesions on core biopsy can be upgraded to malignancy in up to one-third of cases, but this is predominantly to ductal carcinoma in situ or low-grade invasive tumours. The upgrade rate is mainly associated with B3 lesions with epithelial atypia. This review summarizes the current management and focuses on the proposed future management of these B3 lesions.
