Objective To analyze molecular classification and male breast cancer (MBC) triggers,clinical characteristics in patients with MBC and evaluate the prognosis.Methods 36 MBC patients enrolled in the past 5 years were retrospectively analyzed.100 patients with women breast cancer (WBC) in the same period were randomly selected as control group.The primary pathological type of MBC was the infiltrating ductal carcinoma.According to the expressions of estrogen receptor (ER),progesterone receptor (PR),and the epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2),the MBC can be divided into 4 kinds of molecular subtypes,Luminal type A,Luminal type B,Her-2 type,and Basal-like type.Results The ratio of MBC patients with grade Ⅲ was lower in the Luminal group A than that in the Luminal group B.There were significant differences (x2 =1.197,P ＜ 0.05) between these two groups.Conclusion The incidence rate of MBC is low but the prognosis is poor.The primary pathological type is the infiltrating ductal carcinoma.The ratio of MBC patients with grade Ⅲ is lower in the common Luminal group A than that in the common Luminal group B.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the safety and efficacy of trastuzumab administered concurrently with anthracycline-containing adjuvant regimen for breast cancer.

METHODSIt is a prospective, randomized and controlled trial. Participants were randomized to receive trastuzumab administered concurrently or sequentially with anthracycline-containing adjuvant regimen. The primary endpoint was cardiac safety. The second endpoints were disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS).

RESULTSOne hundred and nine breast cancer patients were enrolled and randomized in this trial. Fifty-five participants received trastuzumab administered concurrently with anthracycline-containing adjuvant regimen and 54 patients received trastuzumab administered sequentially with anthracycline. The primary cardiac event was asymptomatic decrease in the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). There was no significant difference between concurrent and sequential groups in cardiac event rates (9.1% vs13.0%, P = 0.556), neither of LVEF values at basline or at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months during trastuzumab treatment (P > 0.05). Four patients (7.3%) in the concurrent group suffered local recurrences or distant metastases, and 6 participants (11.1%) in the sequential group had distant metastases. There was no significant difference between the two groups in DFS (P = 0.724). There was no death in both groups.

CONCLUSIONSTrastuzumab administered concurrently with anthracycline is a safe adjuvant regimen for breast cancer and does not increase cardiac events. Further research is needed to determine the efficacy of this treatment regimen.

Objective To explore the safety and cosmetic effect of nipple-sparing modified radical mas tectomy and immediate tissue expander implantation with single circumaereolar incision.Methods 30 patients were enrolled in Peking Union Medical College Hospital between Jan.2014 and Dec.2015.All the patients were categorized according to surgical incision (single circumaereolar incision group vs double incisions group).Data on clinicopathological parameters,average hospital stay,complications and overall cosmetic effect were retrospectively collected.Data was performed with Chi-square test,Fisher exact test and t-test.Statistical significance was defined as P＜0.05.Results 19 patients were enrolled in single circumaereolar incision group,and 11 patients in double incisions group.There was no significant difference for operation duration (P=0.093) and average hospital stay (P=0.339).After follow-up for 19.1 months,ranging from 8 to 31 months,no patients developed seroma or arm lymphedema.There was no statistical significance between the two groups in terms of sensation in nippleaereolar area (P=0.973),bilateral symmetry (P=0.650) and overall cosmesis (P=0.483).Conclusion single circumaereolar incision nipple-sparing modified radical mastectomy and immediate tissue expander implantation can be one of the preferable surgical procedures with benefits of minimal invasiveness,reliable oncological safety and decent cosmetic effect.

Objective: To explore the association between the 21-gene recurrence score (RS) and clinicopathologic characteristics as well as prognosis in patients with axillary lymph node negative, hormone receptor (HR) positive breast cancer. Methods: The clinicopathologic data of 439 early breast cancer patients who underwent 21 gene RS testing was retrospectively analyzed. According to the 21 gene RS, the patients were divided into low risk (295 cases), intermediate risk (111 cases) and high-risk (33 cases) group. The relationship between the 21 gene RS and clinicopathological characteristics, treatment, recurrence and metastasis was analyzed. Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were used to analyze the risk factors for relapse free survival (RFS). Results: Tumor grade, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and Ki-67 index were significantly different among the 3 risk cohorts (P<0.001 for all). After a median follow-up of 32 months, the recurrence rate in low risk group (3.7%) was significantly lower than that in the intermediate-high risk group (9.0%), the locoregional recurrence (LRR) rate of low, intermediate and high risk group was 2.4%, 6.3% and 9.1%; and the distant metastasis (DM) rate in low risk group was 1.4% and 2.1% in the intermediate-high risk group. Univariate analysis showed RS, ER status and endocrine therapy were prognostic factors for RFS (P<0.05 for all). Multivariate analysis showed that RS was an independent significant predictor for RFS (P=0.04). Conclusions The 21-gene RS is related to tumor grade, ER, PR and Ki-67 index. RS is an independent risk factor for RFS in patients with hormone receptor positive early-stage breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the expression of centromeric protein F(CENPF)and microribonucleic acid 1-3p(miR-1-3p)in the serum of patients with advanced gastric cancer and their correlation with prognosis.Methods Sixty patients with advanced gastric cancer admitted to our hospital from March 2019 to March 2020 were collected as the study group,while 60 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examinations at our hospital's physical examination center during the same period were collected as the control group.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)method was applied to detect the expression levels of serum CENPF and miR-1-3p in each group;Pearson method was applied to analyze the correlation between serum levels of CENPF and miR-1-3p;Kaplan-Meier method was applied to analyze the relationship between the expression of CENPF,miR-1-3p,and prognosis in patients with advanced gastric cancer;and COX regression was applied to analyze risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with advanced gastric cancer.Results Compared with the control group,the CENPF level in the study group was obviously increased,while the miR-1-3p level was obviously reduced(P＜0.05).The correlation analysis results showed that there was a negative correlation between serum CENPF and miR-1-3p levels in patients with advanced gastric cancer(r =-0.650,P＜0.001).There were obvious differences in CENPF and miR-1-3p levels among different TNM stages and lymph node metastasis status(P＜0.05).The 3-year survival rate of patients in the high expression group of CENPF was 19/30(63.33%),which was obviously lower than that in the low expression group,28/30(93.33%)(χ2 = 7.954,P＜0.001);the 3-year survival rate of patients in high expression group of miR-1-3p was 29/30(96.67%),which was obviously higher than that in the low expression group,18/30(60.00%)(χ2 = 11.882,P = 0.001).Multivariate COX regression analysis showed that TNM staging,lymph node metastasis,CENPF,and miR-1-3p expression were risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with advanced gastric cancer(P＜0.05).Conclusion The serum CENPF level in patients with advanced gastric cancer obviously increase,while miR-1-3p level obviously decrease,both of which are related to prognosis.

Objective This study aims at establishing a teaching catalog and content for breast rare dis-eases and developing the syllabus for the breast rare disease using integrated multimodality of case-/problem-/resource-based learning(CBL+PBL+RBL).Methods By conducting bibliometrics co-occurrence analysis,we collected 6291 articles on breast rare disease published from January,1975 to June,2024.Additionally,we re-trieved the Textbook on Rare Diseases,the Catalog of Chinese Rare Disease,and Second Batch of Rare Dis-ease Catalog and then decided the teaching content.Results From 16,387 keywords,1000(6.1％)keywords were identified through co-occurrence analysis,including 50(0.3％)candidate diseases.These were classified into three categories:rare primary breast diseases,rare genetic mutation-related diseases associated with breast cancer,and rare systemic multi-system diseases involving the breast.From the candidate list,20(0.1％)rare primary breast diseases were further selected for their notable clinical teaching significance,and significant multi-systemic diseases affecting the breast,whether related to gene mutations or not.Teaching plans were draf-ted using a diversified parallel teaching approaches,taking into account the characteristics of different diseases and the focus of different teaching methods.Conclusions This study initiated the development of the teaching content for breast rare diseases and developed the teaching syllabus using the CBL+PBL+RBL integrated multi teaching model and targeting each rare breast disease for the critical point for teaching.

Objective:To compare the population characteristics, the positive rate of screening, the detection rate of breast cancer, early diagnosis rate and the cost between the mass screening group and opportunistic screening group of breast cancer.Methods:This study is a prospective multicenter cohort study conducted from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016. The participants were enrolled for mass screening or opportunistic screening of breast cancer. After completing the questionnaire, all the participants received breast physical examination and breast ultrasound examination every year for 3 rounds by year. The participants′ characteristics and screening results of the two groups were compared by χ 2 test, Fisher exact test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Results:A total of 20 080 subjects were enrolled. In the mass screening group, 9 434 (100%), 8 111 (85.98%) and 3 940 (41.76%) cases completed the 3 rounds of screening, and 10 646 (100%), 6 209 (58.32%) and 2 988 (28.07%) cases in the opportunistic screening group, respectively. In the opportunistic screening group, the proportions of less than 3 months lactation (1 275/9 796 vs. 1 061/8 860, χ2=4.597, P=0.032), non-fertility (850/10 646 vs. 574/9 434, χ2=27.400, P<0.01), abortion history (6 384/10 646 vs. 5 062/9 434, χ2=81.232, P<0.01), postmenopausal (2 776/10 646 vs. 2 217/9 434, χ2=17.757, P<0.01), long-term oral contraceptives(>6 months) (171/10 646 vs. 77/9 434, χ2=25.593, P<0.01) and family history of breast cancer in first-degree relatives (464/10 646 vs. 236/9 434, χ2=51.257, P<0.01) were significantly higher than those in mass screening group. The positive rate of screening (514/10 646 vs. 128/9 434, χ2=194.736, P<0.01), the detection rate of breast cancer (158/10 646 vs. 13/9 434, χ2=107.374, P<0.01), and positive rate of biopsy (158/452 vs. 13/87, χ2=13.491, P<0.01) in the opportunistic screening group were significantly higher than those of the mass screening group. The early diagnosis rate of the mass screening group was significantly higher than the opportunistic screening group (10/12 vs. 66/141, χ2=5.902, P=0.015). The average cost for detecting each breast cancer case of the mass screening group was 215 038 CNY, which was 13.6 times of the opportunistic screening group (15 799 CNY/case). In the opportunistic screening group, the positive rate of biopsy in primary hospitals was significantly lower than that in large-volume hospitals (79/267 vs. 79/185, χ2=8.267, P=0.004), but there was no significant difference in the mass screening group (6/37 vs. 7/50, χ2=0.082, P=0.774). Conclusions:Breast cancer screening can improve early detection rate. Compared with the mass screening mode, the opportunistic screening mode has the advantages of higher proportion of high-risk factors, higher positive rate of screening, higher detection rate of breast cancer, higher positive rate of biopsy, and lower cost of screening. However, the early diagnosis rate of breast cancer of opportunistic screening is lower than that of mass screening. The positive rate of opportunistic screening in primary hospitals is lower than that of large-volume hospitals. The two screening modes have their own advantages and should be chosen according to local conditions of different regions in China.
