Introduction. While the “no tumor on ink” approach is generally accepted for breast-conserving surgery (BCS) in patient with breast cancer, it remains unclear whether it is oncologically safe for BCS after neoadjuvant chemotherapy therapy (NACT). The aim of the study is to investigate the optimal width of the resection edges in BCS after NALT and the influence on disease-free and overall survival in patients with breast cancer. Materials and methods. Retrospectively, the medical documentation of 76 patients with breast cancer, who were performed BCS after NACT, was studied. The distribution by stage of breast cancer was as follows: I St. -5 patients, II St. - 55, III St. - 16 (excluded IIIB St.). Invasive cancer of non-specific type was diagnosed in 81.6% of cases, in 6.5% - lobular cancer, in 1.3% - combined breast cancer. Radical breast resections in the classic version were performed in 28 cases, and oncoplastic resections in various modifications were performed in 48 Cases. Results. We present the retrospective data of 76 patients with breast cancer who underwent OSA after NALT in the Department of breast and skin cancer OF the Moscow Institute of medical research. P. A. Herzen. The results of our study demonstrated the oncological safety of OSO with respect to new sizes of tumor nodes after NALT followed by remote radiotherapy. The method of “absence of tumor cells” at the edges of resection demonstrated a high percentage of 1, 3, 5-year relapse - free and overall survival, the frequency of relapse was 2.6%. There was no statistically significant difference in 1, 3, 5-year relapse-free and overall survival when the width of the resection edges was more or less than 1 mm. Conclusion. The results of numerous studies have demonstrated that the breast- conserving surgery is the safe method of surgical treatment from an oncological point of view and is an alternative for radical mastectomies for patients with the breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract Purpose The extended role of breast-conserving surgery (BCS) in the neoadjuvant setting may raise concerns on the oncologic safety of BCS compared to mastectomy. This study compared long-term outcomes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) between patients treated with BCS and mastectomy. Methods All breast cancer patients treated with NAC from 2008 until 2017 at the Amphia Hospital (the Netherlands) were included. Disease-free and overall survival were compared between BCS and mastectomy with survival functions. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression was performed to determine prognostic variables for disease-free survival. Results 561 of 612 patients treated with NAC were eligible: 362 (64.5%) with BCS and 199 (35.5%) with mastectomy. Median follow-up was 6.8 years (0.9–11.9). Mastectomy patients had larger tumours and more frequently node-positive or lobular cancer. Unadjusted five-year disease-free survival was 90.9% for BCS versus 82.9% for mastectomy (p = .004). Unadjusted five-year overall survival was 95.3% and 85.9% (p < .001), respectively. In multivariable analysis, clinical T4 (cT4) (HR 3.336, 95% CI 1.214–9.165, p = .019) and triple negative disease (HR 5.946, 95% CI 2.703–13.081, p < .001) were negative predictors and pathologic complete response of the breast (HR 0.467, 95% CI 0.238–0.918, p = .027) and axilla (HR 0.332, 95% CI 0.193–0.572, p = .001) were positive predictors for disease-free survival. Mastectomy versus BCS was not a significant predictor for disease-free survival when adjusted for the former variables (unadjusted HR 2.13 (95%CI: 1.4–3.24), adjusted HR 1.31 (95%CI: 0.81–2.13)). In the BCS group, disease-free and overall survival did not differ significantly between cT1, cT2 or cT3 tumours. Conclusion BCS does not impair disease-free and overall survival in patients treated with NAC. Tumour biology and treatment response are significant prognostic indicators.

Response To Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Purpose To understand the mechanism through which obesity in breast cancer patients is associated with poorer outcome, we evaluated body mass index (BMI) and response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NC) in women with operable breast cancer. Patients and Methods From May 1990 to July 2004, 1,169 patients were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and received NC before surgery. Patients were categorized as obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2), overweight (BMI of 25 to < 30 kg/m2), or normal/underweight (BMI < 25 kg/m2). Logistic regression was used to examine associations between BMI and pathologic complete response (pCR). Breast cancer–specific, progression-free, and overall survival times were examined using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results Median age was 50 years; 30% of patients were obese, 32% were overweight, and 38% were normal or underweight. In multivariate analysis, there was no significant difference in pCR for obese compared with normal weight patients (odds ratio [OR] = 0.78; 95% CI, 0.49 to 1.26). Overweight and the combination of overweight and obese patients were significantly less likely to have a pCR (OR = 0.59; 95% CI, 0.37 to 0.95; and OR = 0.67; 95% CI, 0.45 to 0.99, respectively). Obese patients were more likely to have hormone-negative tumors (P < .01), stage III tumors (P < .01), and worse overall survival (P = .006) at a median follow-up time of 4.1 years. Conclusion Higher BMI was associated with worse pCR to NC. In addition, its association with worse overall survival suggests that greater attention should be focused on this risk factor to optimize the care of breast cancer patients.

e12090 Background: Targeted intraoperative radiotherapy (TARGIT – IORT) as a tumor bed boost during breast conserving surgery is an established option for women with early breast cancer. In a previous study our group could show a beneficial effect of TARGIT-IORT on overall survival after neoadjuvant chemotherapy compared to an external boost in an unselected cohort. In this study we present an analysis of the hormone receptor positive HER2 negative subgroup. Methods: In this non-randomized cohort study involving 46 hormone receptor positive HER2 negative patients after NACT we compared outcomes of 21 patients who received a tumour bed boost with IORT (TARGIT-IORT) during lumpectomy versus 25 patients treated in the previous 13 months with external (EBRT) boost. All patients received whole breast radiotherapy. Disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared. Results: There were no statistical differences between the two groups regarding tumor size, grading, nodal status and pCR rates. Median follow up was 49 months. Whereas DFS was not significantly different between the groups the 5-year Kaplan-Meier estimate of OS was significantly better by 21% with IORT: TARGIT-IORT 0 events 100%, EBRT 5 events 79%, log rank p = 0.028. Conclusions: Although our results have to be interpreted with caution due to a possible selection bias and the small numbers, we could show that the improved OS as previously demonstrated in our dataset for TARGIT-IORT during lumpectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy as a tumor bed boost compared to an external beam radiotherapy boost is driven by the hormone receptor positive HER2 negative subgroup. These data give further support to the inclusion of such patients in the TARGIT-B (Boost) randomised trial that is testing whether IORT boost is superior to EBRT boost and to the analysis of subgroups based on tumor biology in this trial.

Introduction: Ki67 value and its variation before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy are commonly tested in relation to breast cancer patient prognosis. This study aims to quantify the extent of changes in Ki67 proliferation pre- and post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy, confirm an optimal cut-off point, and evaluate its potential value for predicting survival outcomes in patients with different molecular subtypes of breast cancer.Methods: This retrospective real-world study recruited 828 patients at the Department of Breast Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University and the Cancer Hospital of China Medical University from Jan 2014 to Nov 2020. Patient demographic features and disease pathology characteristics were recorded, and biomarkers were verified through immunohistochemistry. Various statistical methods were used to validate the relationships between different characteristics and survival outcomes irrespective of disease-free and overall survival.Results: Among 828 patients, statistically significant effects between pathological complete response and survival outcome were found in both HER2-enriched and triple-negative breast cancer (p &lt; 0.05) but not in Luminal breast cancer (p &gt; 0.05). Evident decrease of Ki67 was confirmed after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. To quantify the extent of Ki67 changes between pre- and post-NAC timepoints, we adopted a computational equation termed ΔKi67% for research. We found the optimal cut-off value to be “ΔKi67% = −63%” via the operating characteristic curve, defining ΔKi67% ≤ −63% as positive status and ΔKi67% &gt; −63% as negative status. Patients with positive ΔKi67% status were 37.1% of the entire cohort. Additionally, 4.7, 39.9, 34.5 and 39.6% of patients with Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2-enriched and triple negative breast cancer were also validated with positive ΔKi67% status. The statistically significant differences between ΔKi67% status and prognostic outcomes were confirmed by univariate and multivariate analysis in Luminal B (univariate and multivariate analysis: p &lt; 0.05) and triple negative breast cancer (univariate and multivariate analysis: p &lt; 0.05). We proved ΔKi67% as a statistically significant independent prognostic factor irrespective of disease-free or overall survival among patients with Luminal B and triple-negative breast cancer.Conclusions:ΔKi67% can aid in predicting patient prognostic outcome, provide a measurement of NAC efficacy, and assist in further clinical decisions, especially for patients with Luminal B breast cancer.

Abstract Backgroud: Longer follow-up was necessary to testify the exact value of mastoscopic axillary lymph node dissection (MALND).Methods：From January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2005,1027 patients with operable breast cancer were randomly assigned to two groups: MALND and CALND. 996 eligible patients were enrolled. The end points are disease free survival and overall survival.Results：The final cohort of 996 patients was followed for an average of 184 months. The distribution of all events was fairly similar between two groups of patients. The incidence of local in-breast events did not differ in a significant manner between two cohorts. Similarly, the rate of distant metastases was not significantly different with 30.0% in MLND and 32.6% in CALND. And no significant difference was observed in other primary tumor between two groups (p=0.46). Patients who remain alive with no event comprise a total of 37.2% in MALND and 35.4% in CALND. Other primary cancers and deaths from other causes were distributed equally between two groups. The 15-year disease-free survival rates were41.1 percent for the MALND group and 39.6 percent for the CALND group (p=0.79). MALND was found to be not inferior for overall survival (P =0.54). The 15-year overall survival rates were 49.5 percentafter MALND and 51.2 percentafter CALND (p=0.86). Probability of overall survival was not significantly different between two groups.Conclusions：MALND does not increase unfavorable events, and also does not affect the long-term survival of patients. Therefore, MALND should be one of the preferred approaches for breast cancer surgery.

e11628 Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is one of the standard treatment options for patients with locally advanced breast cancer for twenty five years. In this study, we evaluate results of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 68 patients with locally advanced breast cancer. Anthracycline/taxane-based chemotherapy regimens were prescribed mostly for neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Before chemotherapy was given, patients were examined for distant metastasis by radiologic methods thereafter if patient had distant metastasis, they were excluded. Patients with breast cancer received neoadjuvant chemotherapy were analyzed according to age, menopausal status, type of surgery, response to the treatment, histopathological properties and survival. After 3 to 6 cycle of chemotherapy patients were reevaluated by clinically and radiologically for response. Surgery was performed for appropriate patient thereafter adjuvant locoregional and systemic chemotherapy were continued. Results: Median age was 47 (29–43) years. 17,6 % of them were younger than 35 years and 42,6 % were premenopausal. Median follow-up time was 19 month. After 3 to 6 cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy 64 of patients responded to therapy (94,1 %). Breast conserving surgery was performed for 15,6 % patients. In histopathologic analysis most of patients were invasive ductal carcinoma and there was lymph node invasion for 84,9 %. Estrogen and progesterone receptor status were negative for 18,6 % of patients and cerbB2 was positive for 14,8 % of patients. Median disease free survival time was 44 month (SE: 9; 95% CI: 25–62) but median overall survival time could not be reached. Three years disease free survival rate and overall survival rate were 55,3% and 90,1% respectively. According to Cox regression analyses; we did not find any demographic and pathologic characteristic of breast cancer that is related to prognosis. Conclusions: In recent years neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer is increasingly being used for early stage disease. Further study will be facilitated establishment of guidelines for preselecting patients for neoadjuvant chemotherapy and will provide beneficial effect on treatment option and survival. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

1073 Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy allows direct evaluation of the tumor’s sensitivity to therapy, eradication of micrometastatic disease and the possibility of performing breast conserving surgery. The aim of this study was to describe long-term results of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in stage III breast cancer patients (pts). Methods: We evaluated 126 pts with stage III breast cancer that participated in a phase-II randomized trial of neoadjuvant 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (FAC every 21 days) compared with cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil (CMF days 1 and 8 every 28). Chemotherapy was administered for three cycles prior to definitive surgery and radiotherapy, and then for six cycles as adjuvant. Response was assessed by WHO criteria. Results: Pts characteristics were well balanced in both groups (FAC: 64pts, CMF: 62pts). Median follow-up was 4.5 years (range 0.2-16.4). No significant difference was found regarding acute and long-term toxicity; however, alopecia was more frequent in FAC group. Breast conserving surgery was performed in 13.5% of pts with no difference between groups. Objective response rate (OR) was similar in both groups but pathological complete response was achieved by 4 pts who received FAC. Although both groups had similar locoregional and distant recurrences, contralateral breast cancer was higher in the CMF group (6.5% vs 1.6%, P=NS). Disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) data are shown in the table. After 16 years of follow-up, 42.1% (n=53) of pts are still alive. Disease progression was the principal cause of death in both groups (78.9% vs 84.2%). Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report long-term outcomes of FAC and CMF in the neoadjuvant setting. Within the sensitivity of our study, both regimens showed similar OR, long-term toxicity, DFS and OS rate at 16 years. Around 40% of pts are currently alive. Clinical trial information: NCT00002696.

376 Background: Prospective randomized trials demonstrated efficacy of MVAC (Methotrexate, Vinblastine, Doxorubicin, Cisplatin) neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). In metastatic setting urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC), clinical trials showed no difference in oncologic outcomes between Gemcitabine-Cisplatin (GC) and MVAC, and another prospective trial proved dose-dense (dd) MVAC had significantly better overall survival (OS) and response rate then MVAC. Comparative data between GC and ddMVAC are limited in neoadjuvant setting. Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients with urothelial carcinoma (cT2-4aN0-1M0) who received NAC from January 2011 and December 2017 in Asan Medical Center was conducted. Patients who received GC were compared to patients received ddMVAC in terms of outcomes including downstaging ( < ypT2 and no N upstaging), pathologic complete response (pCR, ypT0N0), disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) and tolerability. Results: In a total of 277 patients, 176 patients received NAC with GC and 41 patients with dose-dense MVAC. The median chemotherapy cycle is 4 (IQR 3-4) cycles for GC group, 4 (IQR 3-5.5) cycles for dose-dense MVAC group. With an exception of age; GC group is associated with younger age (p = 0.002), other baseline characteristics are well balanced between groups. Downstaging rate are 50.8% in GC group, 58.1% in dose-dense MVAC group (p = 0.47). The rates of achieving ypT0 (28.7% vs 22.6%, p = 0.68), ypN0 (78.3% vs 81.5%, p = 0.39). There were no differences in overall survival (OS) at 3 year (72.2% vs 73.2%, p = 0.58), disease-free survival (DFS) at 3 years (54.9% vs 63.3%, p = 0.21) according to chemotherapy regimens. ddMVAC with prophylactic G-CSF are associated with higher incidence of febrile neutropenia (p = 0.004) than GC. NAC regimen is not independent prognostic factor for OS on multivariable analysis. Conclusions: GC regimen had no significant difference in oncologic outcomes compare to ddMVAC as NAC in UCC.

Background: Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) in patients with large tumors shrunk by neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) remains controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the local recurrence rates in locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) patients receiving NCT comparing BCS with mastectomy. Methods: Pubmed, Web of Knowledge, and Ovid's database were searched for studies concerning treatment for LABC from January 2000 to June 2015. A meta-analysis was performed to compare the recurrence rates of patients receiving BCS versus mastectomy following NCT. Results: 8 trials with a total of 3,215 patients were analyzed. The prevalence of local recurrence was 9.2% in the BCS group versus 8.3% in the mastectomy group without significant difference (odds ratio (OR) 1.07, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.28-1.48; p = 0.66). The 5-year local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) rate was lower in the mastectomy group than in the BCS group, but no significant difference was found between the 2 groups (OR 1.11, 95% CI 0.61-1.99; p = 0.74). Conclusion: BCS after NCT is safe in terms of local recurrence and LRFS in LABC women. Shrinking tumors with NCT provides the opportunity to apply BCS with no detriment to outcome.
