Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A large-scale study to experimentally determine the ultrawideband microwave dielectric properties of a variety of normal, malignant and benign breast tissues, measured from 0.5 to 20 GHz using a precision open-ended coaxial probe shows that the contrast in the microwave-frequency dielectrics properties betweenmalignant and normal adipose-dominated tissues in the breast is considerable, as large as 10:1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence and impact of documented eradication of breast cancer axillary lymph node metastases before surgery in patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Henry Mark Kuerer,Aysegul A. Sahin,Kelly K. Hunt,Lisa A. Newman,Tara M. Breslin,Fred C. Ames,Merrick I. Ross,Aman U. Buzdar,Gabriel N. Hortobagyi,S. Eva Singletary +9 more
TL;DR: The results of this study have implications for the potential use of sentinel lymph node biopsy as an alternative to axillary dissection in patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for adenocarcinoma of the pancreas: treatment variables and survival duration.
Tara M. Breslin,Kenneth R. Hess,D. B. Harbison,Marina E. Jean,Karen R. Cleary,Alan P.B. Dackiw,Robert A. Wolff,James L. Abbruzzese,Nora A. Janjan,Christopher H. Crane,J.N. Vauthey,Jeffrey E. Lee,Peter W.T. Pisters,Douglas B. Evans +13 more
TL;DR: The goal of this study was to analyze the effects of different preoperative chemoradiotherapy schedules, intraoperative radiation therapy, patient factors, and histopathologic variables on survival duration and patterns of treatment failure in patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy Is Accurate After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer
Tara M. Breslin,Lisa Cohen,Aysegul A. Sahin,Jason B. Fleming,Henry Mark Kuerer,Lisa A. Newman,Ebrahim S. Delpassand,Rosalyan House,Frederick C. Ames,Barry W. Feig,Merrick I. Ross,S. Eva Singletary,Aman U. Buzdar,Gabriel N. Hortobagyi,Kelly K. Hunt +14 more
TL;DR: Sentinel lymph node biopsy is a potential way to guide the axillary treatment of patients who are clinically node negative after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and the SLN identification improved with experience.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frozen section analysis for intraoperative margin assessment during breast-conserving surgery results in low rates of re-excision and local recurrence.
TL;DR: The low local recurrence rate reported here is comparable to those reported with other margin assessment techniques and results in low rates of local recurrences and re-excision.
