Mucinous carcinoma (MC) is a rare breast cancer characterized by the presence of large extracellular mucin amount. Two main subtypes can be distinguished: pure (PMC) and mixed (MMC).We conducted a retrospective MC analysis in our prospective maintained database, calculating disease-free survival (DFS) and 5-year overall survival (OS). We found a global 92.1% OS (higher in MMC group and statistically significative) and a DFS of 95.3% (higher in MMC group but not statistically significative).

Sentinel lymph node biopsy alone, without complete axillary lymph node dissection, is the standard treatment of the axilla nodal chain in early-stage breast cancer patients presenting a negative sentinel lymph node. The updated results of the IBCSG 23-01 randomized trial recently provided evidence that this approach could be extended to early-stage breast cancer patients presenting only micrometastasis in the sentinel lymph node.On the other hand, patients with large operable or locally advanced breast cancer and clinically positive lymph nodes currently receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy and sentinel lymph node biopsy, which is then followed by complete axillary node dissection if the sentinel lymph node till contains tumor residue, regardless of the extent of nodal disease. Assuming that patients presenting only a micrometastatic sentinel lymph node after neoadjuvant chemotherapy are clinically equivalent to the IBCSG 23-01 early-breast cancer patients with only micrometastatic sentinel node, then complete axillary dissection would be unneeded also in these subset of patients in the neoadjuvant setting. The multicenter uncontrolled non-inferiority trial NEONOD 2 we here present was designed to assess this hypothesis, i.e. whether or not omission of complete axillary nodal clearance worsens prognosis in patients with sentinel node resulting only micrometastatic after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Introduction: Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) has always been part of breast cancer (BC) treatment. However, during the past 25 years, the surgical management of the axilla has shifted towards a more conservative approach. Until now, ALND has remained the standard surgical technique when the sentinel lymph node (SLN) is macrometastatic. However, ALND may now be considered overtreatment for early-stage BC. The SINODAR-ONE trial is a prospective non-inferiority multicenter randomized study aimed at assessing the role of ALND in patients undergoing either breast-conserving surgery (BCS) or mastectomy for T1-2 BC presenting 1-2 macrometastatic SLNs. Objectives: The primary endpoint was to evaluate whether sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) only was associated with clinically relevant worsening of the prognosis compared with ALND in terms of overall survival (OS). The secondary endpoint was to evaluate whether there was increased regional (lymph node recurrence) or distant recurrence in terms of recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients with macrometastatic SLN who did not undergo ALND. Methods: Patients were randomly assigned (1:1 ratio) to either removal of ≥10 axillary level I/II non-SLNs followed by adjuvant therapy (standard arm) or no further axillary treatment (experimental arm). Results: The trial started in April 2015 and ceased in April 2020, involving 889 patients. The majority of the patients (75.2%) underwent BCS; 328 of 439 patients (74.7%) in the standard treatment arm, and 333 of 440 patients (75.7%) in the experimental treatment arm. 218 patients (24.8%) underwent mastectomy. SLN status at randomization was comparable between the two groups of treatment, with a median number of two SLNs removed and a median number of one positive SLN in both arms. The median number of non-SLNs identified at definitive histopathological evaluation was 16 (interquartile range [IQR] 12–21) in the ALND group. Overall, 193 of 439 patients (44.0%) in the standard treatment arm had additional macrometastases in the removed axillary lymph nodes. However, the median number of positive non SLNs was 0 (IQR 0–1) in the ALND group. Median follow-up was 34.0 months. There were eight deaths (ALND, 4; SNLB only, 4), with a 5-year cumulative mortality of 5.8% and 2.1% in the standard and experimental arm, respectively (p = 0.984). There were 26 recurrences (ALND 11; SNLB only, 15), with a 5-year cumulative incidence of recurrence of 6.9% and 3.3% in the standard and experimental arm, respectively (p = 0.444). Only one axillary lymph node recurrence was observed in each arm. The 5-year OS rates were 98.9% and 98.8%, in the ALND and SNLB only arm, respectively (p = 0.936). Conclusion: The 3-year survival and relapse rates of T1-2 BC patients with 1-2 macrometastatic SLNs treated with SLNB only, and adjuvant therapy, were not inferior to those of patients treated with ALND. These results do not support the use of routine ALND in patients undergoing BCS. However, given the low number of patients treated with mastectomy, there is no certainty that ALND omission can be extended also to this sub-group. In order to collect further evidence regarding the safety of the experimental treatment in patients candidates for mastectomy, the reopening of the enrollment of these patients as part of a single-arm experimental study started in June 2022.

Background A small proportion of patients with primary breast cancer who receive breast conserving surgery (BCS) will develop an ipsilateral breast cancer recurrence (IBCR). In these patients, mastectomy is still considered the treatment of first choice, even if a second conservative surgical approach is technically feasible. The aims of our study are to analyze the characteristics of patients with IBCR after BCS, evaluate and compare the different treatment modalities (repeat BCS vs. mastectomy) in terms of patients and tumor characteristics, disease-free interval (DFI), disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS).MethodsOur prospectively maintained institutional database was queried, and 309 patients with IBCR after BCS who underwent either repeat BCS or mastectomy, between January 2008 and December 2018, were identified. Ipsilateral breast cancer recurrence was defined as a local tumor reappearance in the same breast or in the surgical scar.

Introduction: Neuroendocrine neoplasm of the breast (bNENs) are considered a rare disease, even if in WHO data they represent about 2-5 % of all breast cancer. The last WHO classification includes: welldifferentiated neuroendocrine tumor (bNET), neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) and invasive carcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation. The current knowledge on clinical management of bNENs is poor and patients are usually treated according to non-endocrine tumor components guidelines. Materials and Methods: We presented our experience of six cases of bNENs. Moreover, we conducted a systematic review of published data on diagnosis, treatment and outcome of this kind of tumors. Results: bNENS usually presented as palpable breast masses, classically appearing as irregular hypoechoic lesions at US examination and as hyperdense masses at mammography. Usually pre-operative tumor biopsy is not able to recognize the neuroendocrine components and the final diagnosis is performed only on definitive histopathological assessment. The most frequent subtype seems to be neuroendocrine carcinoma and synaptophysin is positive in most specimens. Treatment strategies, including surgical treatment, radiotherapy and medical treatment are nowadays based on current non-endocrine breast cancer guidelines, independently from neuroendocrine components, even if some studies have proposed the use of somatostatin analogues for bNET and cisplatin-etoposide for NEC. Prognosis of all bNENs, especially of poorly differentiated neoplasia, seems worse compared to non-neuroendocrine breast cancer and stage and morphology seem the best predictor of tumor outcome. Conclusions: We provide an algorithm for clinical management of bNETs, basing on available data. More studies are necessary for confirming the best treatment strategy for these patients, in order to improve clinical outcome

Introduction: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) staging is currently used to avoid complete axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in breast cancer (BC) patients. The SLN is the only site of axillary metastasis (MTS) in ≥60% of cases. Recently, a randomized controlled trial (Z0011) comparing SLN biopsy (SLNB) alone with SLNB followed by ALND in patients with 1-2 SLNs+ demonstrated no significant statistical difference in relapse and overall survival (OS) rates among the two different groups. However, this study had some limitations: small tumor size (≤2cm in 70% of cases), frequent presence of only microMTS in SLN (40%), prevalent use of “whole breast” adjuvant radiotherapy (>90%). Given these considerations, the SINODAR-ONE study started in April 2015. Objectives: The aims are to assess whether ALND omission in BC patients with 1-2 SLNs+ is associated with worse survival and/or increased rate of regional/distant relapse. Thus evaluating whether SLNB is or is not inferior to ALND. Primary endpoint is OS. Secondary endpoints are disease-free survival (DFS) referring to distant MTS and loco-regional recurrence. Methods: Patients received either mastectomy or conservative surgery plus radiotherapy. They all underwent SLNB and were randomly divided into two arms of treatment: standard (SLNB plus ALND) or experimental treatment (only SLNB). According to multidisciplinary evaluation, patients could undergo additional adjuvant radiotherapy, chemo- and/or hormonal therapy, or no further therapy. Eligibility criteria: age 40-75 years; primary invasive T1-T2 tumor; axillary nodes cN0; no more than 2 macro-metastatic SLNs; no distant MTS; no neo-adjuvant therapy; no previous invasive BC. Exclusion criteria: in situ, inflammatory, contralateral BC; micro-metastatic SLNs; pregnancy or breast feeding; comorbidity impeding adjuvant therapy. All analyses were performed both on all patients according to the Intention-To-Treat principle and excluding those patients who did not receive the axillary treatment randomly assigned. Statistical analysis: OS and DFS were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier Product Limit Estimator and differences between arms were assessed with the log-rank test. Results: The enrollment of patients ended in April 2020 with a total of 889 cases (443: standard arm; 446: experimental arm). In April 2021, we conducted a preliminary analysis on 889 patients. We found the two groups homogeneous for epidemiologic characteristics (age and menopausal status), tumor characteristics (tumor size, pTNM, immunohistochemistry, histology, grading, vascular and lymphatic invasion), and adjuvant therapies. The majority of patients (77.2%) received breast conserving surgery, while 22.8% of patients underwent mastectomy. A median of 2 SLNs were removed in both arms. Overall, only 3 micro-metastatic SNLs were found (1 in the standard arm and 2 in the experimental arm). Conclusion: In sum, OS rate is 99.1% and 99.3% in the standard and experimental arm, respectively; DFS rate is 96.8% and 95.9% in the standard and experimental arm, respectively. After a median follow-up of 36 months, there has been only one axillary recurrence in the experimental arm. Additionally, we found seven distant relapses in both arms; four and three deaths in the standard and experimental arm, respectively.

Background Whether the extent of residual disease in the sentinel lymph node (SLN) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) influences the prognosis in clinically node-positive breast cancer (BC) patients remains to be ascertained. Methods One hundred and thirty-four consecutive cN+/BC-patients received NAC followed by SLN biopsy and axillary lymph node dissection. Cumulative incidence of overall (OS) and disease-free (DFS) survival, BC-related recurrences and death from BC were assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method both in the whole patient population and according to the SLN status. The log rank test was used for comparisons between groups. Results The SLN was identified in 123/134 (91.8%) patients and was positive in 98/123 (79.7%) patients. Sixty-five of them (66.3%) had other axillary nodes involved. SLN sensitivity and false-negative rate were 88.0% and 2.0%, Median follow-up was 10.2 years. Ten-year cumulative incidence of axillary, breast and distant recurrences, and death from BC were 6.5%, 11.9%, 33.4% and 31.3%, respectively. Ten-year OS and DFS were 67.3% and 55.9%. When stratified by SLN status, 10-year cumulative incidence of BC-related and loco-regional events, and death from BC were similar between disease-free SLN and micrometastatic SLN subgroups (28.9% vs 30.2%, p = 0.954; 21.6% vs 13.4%, p = 0.840; 12.9 vs 24.5%, p=0.494). Likewise, 10-year OS and DFS were comparable (80.0% vs 75.5%, p=0.975 and 68.0% vs 69.8, p=0.836). Both OS and DFS were lower in patients presenting a macrometastatic SLN (60.2% and 47.5%). Conclusion Outcome of patients with micrometastatic SLN was similar to that of patients with disease-free SLN, which was more favorable as compared to that of patients with macrometastatic SLN.

Nipple Sparing Mastectomy (NSM) requires the entire breast tissue to be removed, maintaining the nipple-areola complex, and represents nowadays the gold standard of the demolitive breast surgery. Although it represents the evolution of conservative breast surgery, NSM presents some limitations in the selection of women candidates for treatment, and still there are no real guidelines regarding its indications, but simply objective data to address the choice. How the breast surgery approach to demolitive and conservative surgery has changed over time? We evaluated throughout the years (from 2009 up to 2018) the time trend of NSM at our institution and analysed the main differences between patients undergone NSM and other mastectomies and/or breast conserving surgery in terms of cancer size, multicentricity and biological profile. We found 781 NSMs, 1261 other mastectomies and 5621 breast conservative surgeries. Among NSMs, 39.6% were reconstructed with tissue expander and 58.1% with definitive prosthesis. From 2009 to 2018 we found a general increase of NSM rate (from 21.3% of all mastectomies in 2009 to 67.3% in 2018) and a decrease of total mastectomies (from 78.7% of all mastectomies in 2009 to 32.7% in 2018). In line with the literature data, our data confirm that in the recent years NSM represents the gold standard for radical breast surgery. Undisputed in prophylaxis, NSM is continuously acquiring more support in being used as first line treatment for locally advanced disease.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy alone is the current surgical axillary treatment for early-stage breast cancer patients with a negative sentinel lymph node (SLN). The possibility to omit axillary dissection also in presence of positive SLNs has been promoted by the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group (ASOCOG) Z0011 randomized trial. Several limitations and evidences of potential selection bias made this trial fairly controversial. Stronger evidence than currently available is needed on the safety of foregoing axillary dissection in well-defined populations of patients with positive SLNs. The Italian multicentre SINODAR ONE randomized trial here presented was designed with this aim.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) allows for staging of the axillary node status in early-stage breast cancer (BC) patients and avoiding complete axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) when the sentinel lymph node (SLN) is proven to be free of disease. In a previous randomized trial we compared SLNB followed by ALND (ALND arm) with SLNB followed by ALND only if the SLN presented metastasis (SLNB arm). At a mid-term of ≈ 6 years median follow-up, the two strategies appeared to ensure similar survival and locoregional control. We have revised these previous findings and update the results following a 15-year observation period. Patients were randomly assigned to either the ALND or SLNB arm. The main endpoints were event-free survival (EFS), overall survival (OS), and axillary disease recurrence. EFS and OS were assessed using Kaplan–Meier analysis and the log-rank test. The ALND and SLNB arms included 115 and 110 patients, respectively. At 14.3 years median follow-up, 39 primary BC-related recurrences occurred, 22 (19 %) of which occurred in the ALND arm and 17 (16 %) occurred in the SLNB arm (p = 0.519). No axillary relapse developed in the SLNB arm, while two were observed in the ALND arm. OS (82.0 vs. 78.8 %) and EFS (72.8 vs. 72.9 %) were not statistically different between the ALND and SLNB arms (p = 0.502 and 0.953, respectively). SLNB is a safe and efficacious component of the surgical treatment of early-stage BC patients. In the long-term, SLNB is equivalent to ALND in terms of locoregional nodal disease control and survival in this subset of patients.

Introduction: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) staging is currently used to avoid complete axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in breast cancer (BC) patients. The SLN is the only site of axillary metastasis (MTS) in ≤60% of cases. Recently, a randomized controlled trial (Z0011) comparing SLN biopsy (SLNB) alone with SLNB followed by ALND in patients with 1-2 SLNs+ demonstrated no significant statistical difference in relapse and overall survival rates among the two different groups. However, this study had some limitations: small tumor size (≤2cm in 70% of cases), frequent presence of only microMTS in SLN (40%), prevalent use of “whole breast” adjuvant radiotherapy (>90%). Given these considerations, the SINODAR-ONE study started in April 2015.Objectives: The aims are to assess whether ALND omission in BC patients with 1-2 SLNs+ is associated with worse survival and/or increased rate of regional/distant relapse. Thus evaluating whether SLNB is or is not inferior to ALND. Primary endpoint is overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints are disease-free survival (DFS) referring to distant MTS and loco-regional recurrence. Methods: Patients receive either mastectomy or conservative surgery plus radiotherapy. They all undergo SLNB and are randomly divided into two arms of treatment: standard (SLNB plus ALND) or experimental treatment (only SLNB). According to multidisciplinary evaluation, patients may undergo additional adjuvant radiotherapy, chemo- and/or hormonal therapy , or no further therapy. Eligibility criteria: age 40-75 years; primary invasive T1-T2 tumor; axillary nodes clinically N0; no more than 2 macro-metastatic SLNs; no distant MTS; no neo-adjuvant therapy; no previous invasive BC; signed informed consent. Exclusion criteria: in situ, inflammatory, contralateral BC; micro-metastic SLNs; pregnancy or breast feeding; comorbidity impeding adjuvant therapy. All analyses are performed both on all patients according to the Intention-To-Treat principle and excluding those patients who did not receive the axillary treatment randomly assigned. Statistical analysis: OS and DFS are calculated using the Kaplan-Meier Product Limit Estimator and differences between arms are assessed with the log-rank test. Results: The enrollment of patients ended in April 2020 with a total of 889 cases (443: standard arm; 446: experimental arm). In June 2020, we conducted an ad interim analysis on 889 patients. We found the two groups homogeneous for epidemiologic characteristics (age and menopausal status), tumor characteristics (tumor size, pTNM, immunohistochemistry, histology, grading, vascular and lymphatic invasion), adjuvant therapies and surgery on T. In particular we have performed a 23,1% of mastectomies in the standard arm and 20,1% in the experimental arm. We found a median of 2 sentinel lymph nodes removed in both arms and 1 non-sentinel positive lymph node in the experimental arm, and only 3 micro-metastases (1 in the standard arm and 2 in the experimental arm). Conclusion: In sum, with a median follow-up of 30 months, there have been no axillary recurrence in both arms. In the standard arm we found 8 total events (2 deaths and 6 distant relapses) and in in the experimental arm 6 events (1 death and 5 distant relapses), with a projected 5-years cumulative incidence of 6,5% in standard arm and 4,85% in the experimental arm.

Introduction Sentinel lymph node (SLN) staging is currently used to avoid complete axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in breast cancer (BC) patients with negative SLNs without jeopardizing survival or regional control. International guidelines keep recommending ALND in the presence of positive (+) SLNs. However SLN is the only site of axillary metastasis (MTS) in many cases (60%). Retrospective studies have also shown a low risk of locoregional relapse in patients with SLNs+ not receiving ALND.This latter finding was recently confirmed in a randomized trial comparing SLN biopsy (SLNB) alone with SLNB followed by ALND in patients with 1-2 SLNs+. However the observation of both similar relapse rate and survival in the 2 arms and the conclusion of a non-inferiority of SLNB compared to ALND require cautiousness because of some study limitations: premature enrollment cessation due to death rate lower than expected, short follow-up (6 years), small tumor size (≤2cm in 70% of cases), frequent presence of only microMTS in SLN (40%), prevalent use of “whole breast” adjuvant radiotherapy (>90%) which irradiates the breast but also the I° axillary level, thereby contributing to the low rate of regional relapse in the SLNB arm due to lymph node sterilization. Consequently further randomized trials with more precise selection criteria based on homogeneous clinico-pathological features and with longer follow-up are needed to confirm that performing only SLNB does not affect survival or relapse risk in patients with 1-2 SLNs+. Materials and Methods Primary and secondary aims of the present 2-arm randomized trial are to assess whether ALND omission in BC patients with 1-2 SLNs+ is associated with worse survival and/or increased rate of regional/distant relapse, respectively, thus evaluating whether SLNB is or is not inferior to ALND. Patients receive either conservative surgery or mastectomy and radiotherapy. They all undergo intraoperative SLNB and SLN evaluation, and are randomly assigned to either further dissection of level I-II axillary lymph nodes (standard ALND arm) or absence of any axillary surgery (experimental SLNB arm). According to International Guidelines post-surgery treatments. Eligibility criteria are: age 40-75 years; primary invasive T1-T2 tumor; axillary nodes clinically N0; no more than 2 SLNs presenting macroMTS at intraoperative or definitive histological evaluation; no distant MTS; no neoadjuvant therapy; no previous invasive BC, signed informed consent. Exclusion criteria are: in situ, inflammatory, contralateral BC; presence of only microMTS in the SLN+; pregnancy or breast feeding; comorbidity impeding adjuvant therapy. Follow-up controls foresee: clinical examination every 6 months for 5 years and yearly thereafter; annual mammography and breast echography; annual axillary echography for patients in the SLNB arm; additional laboratory and instrumental surveys in case of suspected onset of distant MTS. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints are disease-free survival (DFS) referring to distant MTS and to locoregional (ipsilateral breast or axillary, internal mammary or sopraclaveolar lymph nodes) disease recurrence. All analyses are performed both on all patients according to the Intention-To-Treat principle and excluding those patients who did not receive the axillary treatment randomly assigned.
