Objective To investigate the feasibility of laparoscopic extirpation for mammary multiple fibroadenoma. Methods A total of 12 patients with multiple fibroadenoma that were diagnosed by ultrasonography and fine needle aspiration were enrolled in this study. Through an axillary small incision, the air was inflated into the retromammary space, which had been obtusely separated to build a surgical space. Then, 58 fibroadenomas were resected under a laparoscope. Frozen-section examination was carried out during the operation. Results All the masses of the 12 patients were laparoscopically extirpated successfully, without operative complications. The operation time was 40-150 minutes with a mean of 80 minutes. One month after the operation, the shape of the breast looked well and the sensation of the nipple remained normal. During a 1- to 36-month follow-up (mean 18.5 months), none of the patients had scars on the breast or tumor recurrence. All of them were satisfied with the cosmetic results. Conclusion Laparoscopic extirpation of mammary multiple fibroadenoma through the retromammary space is safe and feasible.

Objective To investigate effect of anthracyclines of VEGF-C, VEGFR-3, ER and E-cadherin in serum of patients with breast cancer.Methods 43 patients with breast cancer were selected and randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 40 cases in each group.According to the experimental program based on the treatment, serum VEGF-C, VEGFR-3 levels and breast tissue ER and E-cadherin were detected after the end of the treatment.Results Compared with the control group, VEGF-C, VEGFR-3 levels of the experiment group were lower( P<0.05),ER level was lower(P<0.05) and E-cadherin level was higher(P<0.05).Conclusion the ER, VEGFR-3 and VEGF-C levels in breast cancer patients can significantly decrease the E-cadherin level, and it has a guiding significance for clinical.

Objective To investigate expression of TPS, VEGF of beast cancer patients and relationship with clinical pathological.Methods 68 cases of breast cancer were selected as experiment group, 36 cases with breast fibroma were selected as control group.TPS and VEGF were detected by elisa of patients before and after treatment.Serum TPS and VEGF levels and TNM staging were compared after operation.Results TPS and VEGF of the experiment group were higher than control group(P<0.05).TPS and VEGF of experiment group after operation were higher than before operation.TPS and VEGF increased with the grade of tumor, but there was no significance between grade Ⅰ and 0.The expression of VEGF in tumor diameter≤2 cm group was significantly lower than >2 cm group(P<0.05).TPS and VEGF of axillary lymph node metastasis group and axillary lymph node metastasis had significant difference(P<0.05).The concentration of TPS was significantly higher than that of estrogen and progesteronepositive group in estrogen receptor negative, progesterone receptor negative (P<0.05).Conclusion TPS, VEGF levels in the serum of breast cancer patients showed high expression, the expression of TPS, VEGF levels related to axillary lymph node metastasis, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor.

Objective To research the impact of axillary limph node group dissection oriented by senti-nel lymph nodes instead of axillary dissection on upper limb lymph edema and disease -free survival ( DFS ).Methods We designed a randomized controlled research , which included 205 cases of operatable breast cancer (AJCC 7th:stage I or stage IIa)from Jan.2011 to Jan.2013.Those cases were separated into 2 groups randomly ( random number method ):group A underwent mastectomy ( or lumpectomy ) and axillary group lymphadenectomy oriented by sentinel lymph node biopsy ( SLNB) ( if positive continued for ALND ) while group B underwent mastec-tomy(or lumpectomy)and axillary lymph node dissection(ALND).All patients underwent SLNB by blue dye method and received adjuvant therapy after surgery according to National Comprehensive Cancer Network ( NCCN) guideline and Chinese anti-cancer association guideline .Results There were 101 cases in group A and 104 ca-ses in group B , but 1 case in group A was excluded for false negative of SLN.The midium follow-up was 30 months.There were no significant differences of average age , tumor size, grade, estrogen receptor (ER),proges-terone receptor ( PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 ( HER2 ) expression between the 2 groups. Group A had a lower frequency of lymph edema than group B (4.0%vs 17.3%,χ2 =9.384,P=0.002), and al-so a milder degree ( mild 2%vs 11.5%,middle 2%vs 3.8%,severe 0%vs 1.9%).There were no significant differences of upper limb sensory disorder (14.0%vs 16.3%,χ2 =0.218,P=0.641), neither of DFS(Log-Rank analysis:3-year average DFS 32.89 months vs 33.72 months,χ2 =0.186,P=0.667;Cox risk model analysis:HR=1.395,P=0.495)between the 2 groups.Conclusion Axillary group lymphadenectomy oriented by SLNB can reduce the happening of lymph edema from ALND and has a comparative effect on DFS as ALND .

Purpose: Controversies persist regarding contraindications for nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM). This study aimed to assess the accuracy of subareolar frozen section analysis and identify risk factors for nipple-areola complex (NAC) recurrence post NSM. Methods: Consecutive cases of primary invasive breast cancer undergoing NSM at our single center from January 2015 to December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: The nipples were retained in 126 patients (127 breasts), and the areola was retained with nipple excision for five breasts. Frozen section analysis demonstrated a sensitivity of 81.8% and specificity of 95.3%. The NAC recurrence rate was 4.3% over a median follow-up period of 48 (30–105) months. An atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) at the margin emerged as an independent factor for NAC recurrence in multivariate Cox regression analysis (hazard ratio, 25.464; 95% confidence interval, 1.841–352.145; p = 0.016). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed no statistically significant reduction in overall survival rates (log-rank test, p = 0.660). Conclusion Frozen sections of subareolar tissue are reliable and re-excision may be necessary when ADH is detected at the nipple margin in NSM. The NAC recurrence rate was low, and the outcome was favorable following wide local excision.

Objective To evaluate a model for axillary lymph node involvement combining CK19 mRNA with contrast enhanced ultrasound sonography (CEUS) score in operable breast cancer.Methods Operable breast cancer patients planned for sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy were enrolled.Preoperative CK19mRNA expressions in peripheral blood and CEUS score of axillary lymph nodes were tested before surgery.In the training set,postoperative sentinel lymph node (SLN) and non-sentinel lymph node (nSLN) pathological results were taken as the gold standard,effective modeling variables were screened,logistic regression was used to establish the prediction model.Parallel control studies were conducted between the validation set and the MSKCC model to evaluate the prediction accuracy and prediction efficiency.Results From Oct 2015 to Nov 2016,359 cases (training set) were enrolled and mathematical formulas for predicting SLN and nSLN were established,respectively.The sensitivity,specificity and AUC of predicting SLN involvement were 91.36％,94.92％ and 0.979 respectively.The sensitivity,specificity and AUC of predicting nSLN metastasis were 91.04％,90.53％ and 0.932 respectively.From Dec 2016 to Jul 2017,219 cases (verification set) were included.The sensitivity of SLN metastasis predicted by the model was 91.84％,the specificity was 96.69％,and the AUC was 0.979,significantly superior to the MSKCC model (0.739).The sensitivity,specificity and AUC of predicting nSLN metastasis were 95.35％,92.73％ and 0.945 respectively,significantly superior to the MSKCC model (0.873).Concolusions Combined with peripheral blood CK19 mRNA and CEUS score,the prediction model for axillary lymph node involvement for operable breast cancer,SLN/nSLN involvement probability can be calculated and qualitative judgment can be made.The overall accuracy and AUC of this model are better than the prediction model of MSKCC.
