- Papillomas of the breast: factors associated with underestimation(2018) BOUFELLI, Gabriela; GIANNOTTI, Marcelo A.; RUIZ, Carlos A.; BARROS, Nestor de; CHALA, Luciano E.; MAESAKA, Jonathan Y.; GONCALVES, Rodrigo; BRESCIANI, Barbara H.; VIANNA, Paula; SOARES JR., Jose. M.; BARACAT, Edmund C.; FILASSI, Jose. R.The distinction between benign and malignant papilloma of the breast through percutaneous needle biopsy can be difficult because of limited samples; the underestimation rate can be up to 25%. The aim of this study is to identify clinical and histological factors associated with underestimation, invasive ductal carcinoma, or ductal in-situ carcinoma (DCIS) of the breast found in surgical specimens from papillary lesions. This may contribute toward selection of patients for a follow-up strategy without the need for surgical excision. From a database of 3563 patients, we identified 85 with intraductal papilloma between 2007 and 2013 who had undergone breast-imaging studies, percutaneous needle biopsy, and surgical resection of the lesion. Central papillomas normally present with a palpable mass, whereas peripheral papillomas generally do not have clinical manifestations (microcalcifications); both central and peripheral papillomas were related to atypical lesions, 13.5 and 15.4%, respectively. Among the 59 cases of central papillomas, there were four cases of underestimation, three DCIS and one invasive ductal carcinoma (6.8%). Among the 26 cases of peripheral papillomas, there was one case of DCIS (3.8%), with a total underestimation rate of 5.8%; all underestimated lesions measured more than 1cm. The median size was 11mm at mammography and 19mm at ultrasound. Our data suggest that lesions less than 1cm in size, without atypia and concordant imaging and clinical findings, may not require surgical resection.
- Validation of the Residual Cancer Burden Index as a prognostic tool in women with locally advanced breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy(2023) CUNHA, Juliana Pierobon Gomes da; GONCALVES, Rodrigo; SILVA, Fernando; AGUIAR, Fernando Nalesso; MOTA, Bruna Salani; CHEQUIM, Bruna Bello; SOARES, Jose Maria; BARACAT, Edmund C.; FILASSI, Jose RobertoAims To correlate the 'Residual Cancer Burden' (RCB) index with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in women undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy at the Cancer Institute of the State of Sao Paulo. Methods We analysed the medical records of patients with breast cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and breast surgery, from 2011 to December 2017. Variables analysed were age, clinical and pathological staging, molecular subtype, number of recurrences or metastases, number of deaths, value and class of the RCB index. We used the Kaplan-Meier and the log-rank statistics to evaluate the possible association between RCB and OS and DFS. A regression model was used to determine the independent association of the RCB with the outcomes controlling for confounding factors. Results 347 patients were included in the analysis with a mean age of 49.39 years. Initial clinical staging was T3 in 57.9% of patients and 43.8% of patients had N1 axillary status. Survival analysis showed a statistically significant better prognosis for the RCB 0 (pCR) subgroup compared with RCB 1, 2 and 3 (log rank p=0.01). In a multivariate analysis, only the RCB classification showed a statistically significant correlation with DFS (RCB 1, HR 6.9, CI 1.9 to 25.4, p=0.004; RCB 2, HR 4.2, CI 1.6 to 10.8, p=0.03; and RCB 3, HR 7.6, CI 2.76 to 20.8, p=0.00). Conclusion We demonstrated a positive and significant relationship between the RCB index and the risk of relapse and death.
- Accuracy of frozen section in intraoperative margin assessment for breast-conserving surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis(2021) GARCIA, Mila Trementosa; MOTA, Bruna Salani; CARDOSO, Natalia; MARTIMBIANCO, Ana Luiza Cabrera; RICCI, Marcos Desiderio; CARVALHO, Filomena Marino; GONCALVES, Rodrigo; SOARES JUNIOR, Jose Maria; FILASSI, Jose RobertoBackground and objectives It is well established that tumor-free margin is an important factor for reducing local recurrence and reoperation rates. This systematic review with meta-analysis of frozen section intraoperative margin assessment aims to evaluate the accuracy, and reoperation and survival rates, and to establish its importance in breast-conserving surgery. Methods A thorough review was conducted in all online publication-databases for the related literature up to March 2020. MeSH terms used: ""Breast Cancer"", ""Segmental Mastectomy"" and ""Frozen Section"". We included the studies that evaluated accuracy of frozen section, reoperation and survival rates. To ensure quality of the included articles, the QUADAS-2 tool (adapted) was employed. The assessment of publication bias by graphical and statistical methods was performed using the funnel plot and the Egger's test. The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42019125682). Results Nineteen studies were deemed suitable, with a total of 6,769 cases. The reoperation rate on average was 5.9%. Sensitivity was 0.81, with a Confidence Interval of 0.79-0.83, p = 0.0000, I2 = 95.1%, and specificity was 0.97, with a Confidence Interval of 0.97-0.98, p = 0.0000, I-2 = 90.8%, for 17 studies and 5,615 cases. Accuracy was 0.98. Twelve studies described local recurrence and the highest cumulative recurrence rate in 3 years was 7.5%. The quality of the included studies based on the QUADAS-2 tool showed a low risk of bias. There is no publication bias (p = 0.32) and the funnel plot showed symmetry. Conclusion Frozen section is a reliable procedure with high accuracy, sensitivity and specificity in intraoperative margin assessment of breast-conserving surgery. Therefore, this modality of margin assessment could be useful in reducing reoperation rates.
