Primary breast cancer: ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up

TL;DR: This work presents the results of a meta-analysis conducted at the 2016 European Oncology and Radiotherapy Guidelines Working Group (ESMO) workshop on breast cancer diagnosis and prognosis of women with atypical central giant cell granuloma (CGM) who have previously had surgery.

Estimating the Benefits of Therapy for Early Stage Breast Cancer The St Gallen International Consensus Guidelines for the Primary Therapy of Early Breast Cancer 2019

TL;DR: The 16th St. Gallen International Breast Cancer Conference 2019 as mentioned in this paper reviewed substantial new evidence on loco-regional and systemic therapies for early breast cancer, and encouraged clinicians and patients to routinely discuss the magnitude of benefit for interventions as part of the development of the treatment plan.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overview of multiplex immunohistochemistry/immunofluorescence techniques in the era of cancer immunotherapy.

TL;DR: Various highly multiplexed techniques that have emerged to circumvent constraints, allowing simultaneous detection of multiple markers on a single tissue section and the comprehensive study of cell composition, cellular functional and cell‐cell interactions are detailed.

Event-free Survival with Pembrolizumab in Early Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

TL;DR: In this article , the authors reported that the addition of pembrolizumab to neoadjuvant chemotherapy led to a significantly higher percentage of patients with early triple-negative breast cancer having a pathological complete response (defined as no invasive cancer in the breast and negative nodes) at definitive surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: In TNBC patients, platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy is associated with significantly increased pCR rates at the cost of worse hematological toxicities, with no increased risk of grade 3 and 4 neuropathy.

Axillary dissection vs no axillary dissection in women with invasive breast cancer and sentinel node metastasis: A randomized clinical trial

TL;DR: Among patients with limited SLN metastatic breast cancer treated with breast conservation and systemic therapy, the use of SLND alone compared with ALND did not result in inferior survival, and overall survival was the primary end point, with a noninferiority margin of a 1-sided hazard ratio of less than 1.3 indicating thatSLND alone is noninherited.

Palbociclib and Letrozole in Advanced Breast Cancer

TL;DR: Among patients with previously untreated ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer, palbociclib combined with letrozole resulted in significantly longer progression-free survival than that with let rozole alone, although the rates of myelotoxic effects were higher with palbokiclib-letrozoles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparisons between different polychemotherapy regimens for early breast cancer: meta-analyses of long-term outcome among 100,000 women in 123 randomised trials.

TL;DR: In meta-analyses involving taxane-based or anthracycline-based regimens, proportional risk reductions were little affected by age, nodal status, tumour diameter or differentiation (moderate or poor; few were well differentiated), oestrogen receptor status, or tamoxifen use.

Long-Term Results of Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy for Breast Cancer

TL;DR: Ten years after treatment, accelerated, hypofractionated whole-breast irradiation was not inferior to standard radiation treatment in women who had undergone breast-conserving surgery for invasive breast cancer with clear surgical margins and negative axillary nodes.
Journal ArticleDOI

70-Gene Signature as an Aid to Treatment Decisions in Early-Stage Breast Cancer

TL;DR: Among women with early-stage breast cancer who were at high clinical risk and low genomic risk for recurrence, the receipt of no chemotherapy on the basis of the 70-gene signature led to a 5-year rate of survival without distant metastasis that was 1.5 percentage points lower than the rate with chemotherapy.
