Objective:To discuss the oncologic safety, aesthetic outcome, and upper extremity function of single-port insufflation endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy (SIE-NSM) in the treatment of early breast cancer.Methods:From January 2014 to August 2019, a total of 80 patients with stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ breast cancer underwent SIE-NSM, at Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed and followed up. Estimated the oncologic safety, aesthetic outcome, and upper extremity function.Results:SIE-NSM was performed successfully on all 80 patients.There was no serious complication after surgery.The follow-up time was 16-82 months and the median follow-up time was 42 months. Local recurrence occurred in two patients, and there was no distant metastases. Four (5%) patients developed grade 1-3 nipple-areola complex ischemia. There were no cases of subcutaneous effusion.The satisfaction with breasts, chest well-being, psychosocial well-being, and sexual well-being scores were confirmed to be highly rated by Breast-Q scale. Upper extremity function score confirmed that good upper limb function was preserved after surgery. The mean length of incision was (3.6±0.8) cm, and the blood loss was (24.7±19.3) mL.Conclusions:SIE-NSM can achieve a higher cosmetic score and a better recovery of upper limb function on the premise of ensuring the safety of the tumor.This novel method is an appropriate surgical option for patients with early breast cancer.

Objective:To analyze how the surface marker of breast cancer stem cell related to chemotherapy resistance and postoperative recurrence.Methods:The GEO public database GSE25066 and GSE32603 were used to extract clinical data including pathological evaluation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, postoperative follow-up recurrence and recurrence time, and the expression levels of the following 18 breast cancer stem cell marker genes were extracted: CD44, CD24, EPCAM, CD49f, PROM1, CD61, ALDH1A1, CD10, ALDH1A3, ABCG2, RANK, CD47, CD166, SLUG, SOX2, SXO9, SOX10, MYC. A total of 488 patients with GSE25066 were divided into pathology compete response(pCR) group ( n=99) and residual disease (RD) group ( n=389) according to the pathological analysis. Another 418 patients with complete recurrence data was divided into recurrence group ( n=111) and non-recurrence group ( n=307), they were used for prognosis analysis. The effects of each tumor stem cell marker on chemotherapy sensitivity and tumor recurrence were analyzed by logistic, lasso and COX regression. The gene expression level of GSE32603 before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy were used to analyze the changes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in 166 patients, to determine the enrichment effect of chemotherapy on stem cells. Results:In chemotherapy response analysis, tumor stem cell markers CD44( OR=0.78, 95% CI: 0.63-0.98) and SANI2 ( OR=0.80, 95% CI: 0.68-0.93) were negatively correlated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy sensitivity, and CD24( OR=1.18, 95% CI: 0.97-1.47) was positively correlated with chemosensitivity. In the recurrence correlation analysis, the patients with CD44 + ( OR=1.22, 95% CI: 0.98-1.51), CD24 low( OR=0.94, 95% CI: 0.79-1.11) and SANI2( OR=1.17, 95% CI: 1.00-1.37) expression have a high recurrence rate. As chemotherapy progressed, the MME, CD49f, SOX10, MYC, and SOX9 ( P<0.05) showed an enrichment process. Conclusions:Breast cancer stem cell markers CD44 + CD24 - and SLUG can be used to predict the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and recurrence after tumor treatment. They are relatively stable marker for studying breast cancer stem cells.
