Abstract
Breast cancer management has transformed significantly over the last decades, primarily through the integration of neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) and the evolving understanding of tumor biology, enabling more tailored treatment strategies. The aim of this review is to critically present the historical context and contemporary evidence surrounding the potential of omission of surgery post-NST, focusing on exceptional responders who have achieved a pathologic complete response (pCR). Identifying these exceptional responders before surgery remains a challenge, however standardized image-guided biopsy may allow optimized patient selection. The safety and feasibility of omitting breast and axillary surgeries in these exceptional responders are explored in ongoing clinical trials and the reported preliminary results appear promising. Moreover, understanding patient and physician perspectives regarding the potential elimination of surgery post-NST is integral. While some patients express a preference to omit or minimize surgery, the majority of healthcare providers are intrigued by the prospect of avoiding surgical interventions and endorse further research in this field.

Abstract
Modern neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) can result in high pathologic complete response rates (pCR) in triple negative (TN) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+) breast cancer. The role of surgery is, therefore, being reconsidered in this rapidly evolving field. This report presents oncological outcomes of seven patients with TN or HER2+ breast cancer, with exceptional response to NST, and a post-NST image-guided vacuum assisted biopsy showing no residual disease (ypT0), who opted not to have breast surgery. The median age was 49 (IQR 36-61) years and the median tumour size at diagnosis was 50 (IQR 16-65) mm. All patients received breast radiotherapy and continued adjuvant systemic therapies as appropriate. At a median follow-up of 67 (IQR 61-77) months, all patients were alive and free of disease. This small case series supports the need for further research in 'exceptional responders' to provide safe, individualized patient-centred care.

Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:4980. [PMID: 37894346 PMCID: PMC10605041 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15204980] [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: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately 20% of invasive ductal breast malignancies are human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive. These patients receive neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NAT) including HER2-targeting therapies. Up to 65% of patients achieve a pathological complete response (pCR). These patients might not have needed surgery. However, accurate preoperative identification of a pCR remains challenging. A radiologic complete response (rCR) on MRI corresponds to a pCR in only 73% of patients. The current feasibility study investigates if HER2-targeted PET/CT-imaging using Zirconium-89 (89Zr)-radiolabeled trastuzumab can be used for more accurate NAT response evaluation. METHODS HER2-positive breast cancer patients scheduled to undergo NAT and subsequent surgery received a 89Zr-trastuzumab PET/CT both before (PET/CT-1) and after (PET/CT-2) NAT. Qualitative and quantitative response evaluation was performed. RESULTS Six patients were enrolled. All primary tumors could be identified on PET/CT-1. Four patients had a pCR and two a pathological partial response (pPR) in the primary tumor. Qualitative assessment of PET/CT resulted in an accuracy of 66.7%, compared to 83.3% of the standard-of-care MRI. Quantitative assessment showed a difference between the SUVR on PET/CT-1 and PET/CT-2 (ΔSUVR) in patients with a pPR and pCR of -48% and -90% (p = 0.133), respectively. The difference in tumor-to-blood ratio on PET/CT-1 and PET/CT-2 (ΔTBR) in patients with pPR and pCR was -79% and -94% (p = 0.133), respectively. Three patients had metastatic lymph nodes at diagnosis that were all identified on PET/CT-1. All three patients achieved a nodal pCR. Qualitative assessment of the lymph nodes with PET/CT resulted in an accuracy of 66.7%, compared to 50% of the MRI. CONCLUSIONS NAT response evaluation using 89Zr-trastuzumab PET/CT is feasible. In the current study, qualitative assessment of the PET/CT images is not superior to standard-of-care MRI. Our results suggest that quantitative assessment of 89Zr-trastuzumab PET/CT has potential for a more accurate response evaluation of the primary tumor after NAT in HER2-positive breast cancer.

Abstract
Background. Achieving a pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) is a predictive factor for improving disease free and overall survival. In triple negative (TN) and HER2-positive breast cancer (BC), the pCR rate exceeds 60 %. Patients with TN and HER2-positive BC who demonstrate an excellent response to NST are likely ideal candidates for downsizing surgery. The condition for reducing the volume of surgical intervention is a reliable determination of pathologic complete response using instrumental imaging and biopsy methods.Aim. To further assess the accuracy of post-NST image-guided biopsy to predict pCR.Materials and methods. Sixty one patients with T1-3N0-3 triple negative or HER2-positive BC receiving NST in the Department of Breast Tumors of the NMRC of Oncology named after N.N. Petrov in the period from 2017 to 2019 were enrolled in this single-center retrospective trial. Patients underwent ultrasound-guided core-biopsy of the initial breast tumor region before surgery. Findings were compared with findings on pathologic evaluation of surgical specimens to determine the performance of biopsy in predicting pCR after NST.Results. After neoadjuvant systemic therapy, clinical partial response (cPR) was diagnosed in 47 (77 %) patients, clinical complete response (cCR) in 14 (23 %) patients. pCR in the core-biopsy tissue and surgical material was achieved in 46 (75.4 %) and 37 (60.7 %), respectively. Performance of image-guided core-biopsy: sensitivity 100 % (95 % confldence interval (CI) 90.51-100), specificity 62.5 % (95 % CI 40.59-81.20), false-negative rate (FNR) 0 %, positive-predictive value (PPV) 75.00 % (95 % CI 59.46-85.99), negative predictive value (NPV) 100.00 %.Conclusion. This retrospective trial showed that ultrasound-guided core biopsies are accurate enough to identify breast pCR in patients with triple-negative or HER2-positive BC with good response after NST (FNR 0 %). Based on these results, a prospective clinical trial has commenced in which breast surgery is omitted in patients with a breast pCR after NST according to image-guided biopsy.

Abstract
Aim: To evaluate overall survival in advanced cancer patients who achieved complete response (CR) with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. Methods: This retrospective study included patients with advanced unresectable or metastatic cancer who received at least one cycle of palliative-intent ICI. Best overall response was used to define response groups. Results: 21 (7%) of 322 patients achieved CR. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that CR was independently associated with better overall survival compared with disease progression (hazard ratio: 0.012; 95% CI: 0.002-0.090) and stable disease (hazard ratio: 0.063; 95% CI: 0.009-0.464) as well as a nonsignificant trend toward better overall survival compared with partial response (hazard ratio: 0.169; 95% CI: 0.023-1.252) regardless of cancer type, ICI regimen or ICI line. Conclusion: Patients who achieved CR had longer survival compared with patients who did not achieve CR.

Acetylcholine receptor agonists provide cardioprotection in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity via modulating muscarinic M 2 and α7 nicotinic receptor expression. Transl Res 2022; 243:33-51. [PMID: 34920165 DOI: 10.1016/j.trsl.2021.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2021] [Revised: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
The balance between cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic activities has been intricately linked to mitochondrial function, cellular oxidative status, and immunomodulation in healthy and diseased myocardium. Cardiac autonomic neuropathy, along with the associated mitochondrial and cellular dysfunction, is an important pathophysiological feature of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). We tested the hypothesis that autonomic modulation by activation of acetylcholine receptors (AChR) effectively attenuates DIC. Rats were divided into control (0.9% sodium chloride solution) and doxorubicin groups (DOX, 3 mg/kg/d, 6 doses). Rats in the DOX group were equally subdivided into 4 interventional groups and treated for 30 days: vehicle, α7 nicotinic receptor agonist (PNU: PNU-282987, 3 mg/kg/d), muscarinic receptor agonist (BET: bethanechol, 12 mg/kg/d), and combined α7nAChR and mAChR agonists group (COM). Cardiac biochemical and functional analyses were done. The results show that AChR agonists protected the heart against DIC via improving mitochondrial and cardiac function, which was accompanied by reducing mitochondrial oxidative damage, apoptosis, and inflammation. Strikingly, PNU and BET exerted cardioprotection through different molecular pathways. PNU-mediated α7nAChR activation promoted mitochondrial fusion via upregulation of Mfn1-2 and attenuated DOX-induced autophagy. Contrarily, activation of mAChR by BET attenuated mitochondrial fission and mitophagy. The in vitro experiments confirmed the cytoprotective effects of AChR activation in DOX-treated H9c2 cells without compromising the anticancer effect of DOX in cancer cells. In conclusion, α7nAChR and mAChR agonists exerted cardioprotection against DIC via rebalancing autonomic function, improving mitochondrial function, reducing oxidative stress, and decreased cardiomyocyte apoptosis and inflammation, leading to improved cardiac function.

Abstract
Purpose of Review De-escalation of surgery has been central in the evolution of multidisciplinary management of breast cancer. Advances in oncology and increasing use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) have opened opportunities for further surgical de-escalation especially for HER2 + and triple negative (TN) disease. The aim of this review is to discuss the recent data on de-escalation of surgery as well as the future directions. Recent Findings Patients with TN and HER2 + breast cancer with excellent response to NACT would be the ideal candidates for surgical de-escalation. Post-NACT image-guided biopsy, potentially combined with machine learning algorithms, may accurately identify patients achieving pathologic complete response that would be eligible for clinical trials assessing safety of omission of breast and axillary surgery. Summary Multidisciplinary research is required to further support results of preliminary studies. Current data point towards a future when even less or no surgery may be required for exceptional responders.

Abstract
Meta-analysis of >87,000 patients demonstrates that patients with invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast are far less likely to achieve pCR of the breast or axilla compared to their ductal counterparts, receive less BCS and more frequently return positive margins. BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) facilitates tumour downstaging, increases breast conserving surgery (BCS) and assesses tumour chemosensitivity. Despite clinicopathological differences in Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) and Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC), decision making surrounding the use NACT does not take account of histological differences. AIM To determine the impact NACT on pathological complete response (pCR), breast conserving surgery (BCS), margin status and axillary pCR in ILC and IDC. METHODS A systematic review was performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Studies reporting outcomes among ILC and IDCs following NACT were identified. Dichotomous variables were pooled as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals_(CI) using the Mantel-Haenszel method. P-values <0.05 were statistically significant. RESULTS 40 studies including 87,303 (7596 ILC [8.7%]and 79,708 IDC [91.3%]) patients were available for analysis. Mean age at diagnosis was 54.9 vs. 50.9 years for ILC and IDC, respectively. IDCs were significantly more likely to achieve pCR (22.1% v 7.4%, OR: 3.03 [95% CI 2.5-3.68] p < 0.00001), axillary pCR (23.6% vs. 13.4%, OR: 2.01 [95% CI 1.77-2.28] p < 0.00001) and receive BCS (45.7% vs. 33.3%, OR 2.14 [95% CI 1.87-2.45] p < 0.00001) versus ILCs. ILCs were significantly more likely to have positive margins at the time of surgery (36% vs 13.5%, OR 4.84 [95% CI 2.88-8.15] p < 0.00001). CONCLUSION This is the largest study comparing the impact of NACT among ILC and IDC with respect to pCR and BCS. ILC has different outcomes to IDC following NACT and incorporate it into treatment decisions and future clinical guidelines.

Abstract
Since ancient times, breast cancer treatment has crucially relied on surgeons and clinicians making great efforts to find increasingly conservative approaches to cure the tumor. In the Halstedian era (mid-late 19th century), the predominant practice consisted of the radical and disfiguring removal of the breast, much to the detriment of women's psycho-physical well-being. Thanks to enlightened scientists such as Professor Umberto Veronesi, breast cancer surgery has since impressively progressed and adopted a much more conservative approach. Over the last three decades, a better understanding of tumor biology and of its significant biomarkers has made the assessment of genetic and molecular profiles increasingly important. At the same time, neo-adjuvant treatments have been introduced, and great improvements in genetics, imaging technologies and in both oncological and reconstructive surgical techniques have been made. The future of breast cancer management must now rest on an ever more precise and targeted type of surgery that, through an increasingly multidisciplinary and personalized approach, can ensure oncological radicality while offering the best possible quality of life.

Ann Med Surg (Lond) 2021; 66:102380.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lately, there has been a resurgence of interest in de-escalation of breast surgery in complete responders to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Advanced cytotoxic & targeted therapies have improved tumour response.This study evaluates long-term outcomes of post-NAC breast cancer patients, in relation to their surgical management dictated by the NAC response. MATERIALS AND METHODS Post-NAC breast cancer patients from January 2000 to December 2010 were divided into "No surgery", "WLE" and "Mastectomy" groups. ANOVA and Kaplan-Meier statistical analyses were used to compare overall survival (OS) and disease-free-survival (DFS) in these groups. RESULTS This retrospective study included 121 patients with a long median follow-up of 11.5 years. At 10 years the OS was 66.10% and DFS was 59.82%. Complete NAC-responders did not undergo breast surgery but received radiotherapy. Patients were divided into No surgery (n = 28), WLE (n = 44), Mastectomy (n = 49) groups.Comparisons of OS and DFS between groups showed statistically significant differences (p = 0.0003, p = 0.0007 respectively). The no surgery group showed low local recurrence (7.14%). CONCLUSION The observed slightly better long-term outcomes with low local recurrences in complete NAC-responders who did not undergo breast surgery but received radiotherapy could be linked to cautious response assessment and meticulous patient selection with early, biologically favourable breast cancer.Importance of PCR assessment cannot be underestimated if breast surgery were to be de-escalated or even omitted in complete NAC-responders.Considering the study limitations, avoiding surgery in all complete NAC-responders may still not be the preferred option. Future appropriate clinical trials with well-defined protocols may pave the way forward.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Young women with breast cancer are determined to present poorer survival compare with elderly patients. Therefore, identifying the clinical prognostic factors in young women with early-stage (T1-2N0-1M0) breast cancer is pivotal for surgeons to make better postoperative management. METHODS The clinicopathological characteristics of female patients with early-stage breast cancer from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program between Jan 2010 and Dec 2015 were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to determine the potential risk factors of cancer-specific survival in young women with early-stage breast cancer. The nomogram was constructed and further evaluated by an internal validation cohort. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to estimate cancer-specific survival probability and the cumulative incidence. RESULTS Six variables including race, tumor location, grade, regional lymph node status, tumor subtype, and size were identified to be significantly associated with the prognosis of young women with early-stage breast cancer during the postoperative follow-up. A nomogram for predicting the 3-, 5- year cancer-specific survival probability in this subpopulation group was established with a favorable concordance index of 0.783, supported by an internal validation cohort with the AUC of 0.722 and 0.696 in 3-, 5- year cancer-specific survival probability, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The first predictive nomogram containing favorable discrimination is successfully established and validated for predicting the 3-, 5- year cancer-specific survival probability in young women with early-stage breast cancer during the postoperative follow-up. This model would help clinicians to make accurate treatment decisions in different clinical risk population.

Outpatient breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer: Use of local and intravenous anesthesia and/or sedation may reduce recurrence and improve survival. Ann Med Surg (Lond) 2020; 60:365-371. [PMID: 33224492 PMCID: PMC7666315 DOI: 10.1016/j.amsu.2020.10.072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2020] [Revised: 10/30/2020] [Accepted: 10/31/2020] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
The use of general anesthesia (GA) with inhalational anesthetics for breast cancer surgery may be associated with breast cancer recurrence and increased mortality due to the immunosuppressive effects of these drugs. Less-immunosuppressive anesthetic techniques may reduce breast cancer recurrence. We evaluated the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of outpatient breast-conserving surgery (BCS) for breast cancer in a breast clinic in terms of the anesthetic technique used, complications occurring, recurrence, and survival. Methods: The sample comprised 456 consecutive patients with stage 0–III breast cancer who underwent BCS/axillary lymph node (ALN) management using local and intravenous anesthesia and/or sedation between May 2008 and January 2020. Most patients received adjuvant chemotherapy and/or endocrine therapy and radiotherapy after surgery. Patient outcomes were evaluated retrospectively. Results: All patients recovered and were discharged after resting for 3–4 h postoperatively. No procedure-related severe complication or death occurred. Sixty-four complications (14.0%) were observed: 14 wound infections, 17 hematomas, and 33 axillary lymphoceles. The median follow-up period was 2259 days (range, 9–4190 days), during which disease recurrence was observed in 25 (5.4%) patients. The overall survival and breast cancer–specific survival rates were 92.3% and 94.7%, respectively. Conclusions: Outpatient surgery for breast cancer involving BCS and ALN management under local and intravenous anesthesia and/or sedation can be performed safely, without serious complication or death. Less-immunosuppressive anesthetic techniques with spontaneous breathing may reduce the recurrence of breast cancer and improve survival relative to GA. Outpatient surgery for breast cancer involving breast-conserving surgery (BCS) and axillary lymph node (ALN) management under local and intravenous anesthesia and/or sedation can be performed safely. Less-immunosuppressive anesthetic techniques with spontaneous breathing may reduce the recurrence of breast cancer and improve survival compared with general anesthesia.

Breast radiologic complete response is associated with favorable survival outcomes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer. Eur J Surg Oncol 2020; 47:232-239. [PMID: 33213958 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2020.08.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2020] [Revised: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 08/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to examine the accuracy of radiologic complete response (rCR) in predicting pathologic complete response (pCR), and determine whether rCR is a predictor of favorable survival outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by surgery from September 2007 to June 2016. Breast lesions and axillary nodes were measured by MRI and categorized into either disappeared (breast rCR) or residual disease (breast non-rCR) and either normalized (axillary rCR) or abnormal findings (axillary non-rCR) in the axillary nodes. Correlation between rCR and pCR were compared using Cohen's Kappa statistics, and the recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Out of the 1017 eligible patients, 287 (28.2%) achieved breast pCR, 165 (16.2%) achieved breast rCR, 529 (52.0%) had axillary pCR, and 274 (26.9%) achieved axillary rCR. The correlation between a breast rCR and pCR showed a Cohen's Kappa value of 0.459, and between axillary rCR and pCR, the value was 0.384. During a median follow-up time of 48.0 months, the 5-year RFS rates were 90.6% for breast rCR, and 69.2% for breast non-rCR. The 5-year RFS rates were 82.3% for axillary rCR, and 68.8% for axillary non-rCR. Patients without breast rCR had a 2.4-fold significant increase in the risk of recurrence (p = 0.004) compared to patients with breast rCR. CONCLUSION Although rCR correlated with pCR by only moderate to fair degrees, breast rCR was a strong predictor for a favorable RFS outcome.
