Abstract

Purpose: UK NICE guidelines recommend axillary node clearance (ANC) should be performed in all patients with biopsy-proven node-positive breast cancer having primary surgery. There is, however, increasing evidence such extensive surgery may not always be necessary. Targeted axillary dissection (TAD) may be an effective alternative in patients with low-volume nodal disease who are clinically node negative (cN0) but have abnormal nodes detected radiologically. This survey aimed to explore current management of this group to inform feasibility of a future trial. Methods: An online survey was developed to explore current UK management of patients with low-volume axillary disease and attitudes to a future trial. The survey was distributed via breast surgery professional associations and social media from September to November 2022. One survey was completed per unit and simple descriptive statistics used to summarise the results. Results: 51 UK breast units completed the survey of whom 78.5% (n = 40) reported performing ANC for all patients with biopsy-proven axillary nodal disease having primary surgery. Only 15.7% of units currently performed TAD either routinely (n = 6, 11.8%) or selectively (n = 2, 3.9%). There was significant uncertainty (83.7%, n = 36/43) about the optimal surgical management of these patients. Two-thirds (n = 27/42) of units felt an RCT comparing TAD and ANC would be feasible. Conclusions: ANC remains standard of care for patients with low-volume node-positive breast cancer having primary surgery in the UK, but considerable uncertainty exists regarding optimal management of this group. This survey suggests an RCT comparing the outcomes of TAD and ANC may be feasible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Purpose: Up to 40% of the 56,000 women diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK undergo mastectomy. Seroma formation following surgery is common, may delay wound healing, and be uncomfortable or delay the start of adjuvant treatment. Multiple strategies to reduce seroma formation include surgical drains, flap fixation and external compression exist but evidence to support best practice is lacking. We aimed to survey UK breast surgeons to determine current practice to inform the feasibility of undertaking a future trial. Methods: An online survey was developed and circulated to UK breast surgeons via professional and trainee associations and social media to explore current attitudes to drain use and management of post-operative seroma. Simple descriptive statistics were used to summarise the results. Results: The majority of surgeons (82/97, 85%) reported using drains either routinely (38, 39%) or in certain circumstances (44, 45%). Other methods for reducing seroma such as flap fixation were less commonly used. Wide variation was reported in the assessment and management of post-operative seromas. Over half (47/91, 52%) of respondents felt there was some uncertainty about drain use after mastectomy and axillary surgery and two-thirds (59/91, 65%) felt that a trial evaluating the use of drains vs no drains after simple breast cancer surgery was needed. Conclusions: There is a need for a large-scale UK-based RCT to determine if, when and in whom drains are necessary following mastectomy and axillary surgery. This work will inform the design and conduct of a future trial. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: The B-MaP-C study aimed to determine alterations to breast cancer (BC) management during the peak transmission period of the UK COVID-19 pandemic and the potential impact of these treatment decisions. Methods: This was a national cohort study of patients with early BC undergoing multidisciplinary team (MDT)-guided treatment recommendations during the pandemic, designated ‘standard’ or ‘COVID-altered’, in the preoperative, operative and post-operative setting. Findings: Of 3776 patients (from 64 UK units) in the study, 2246 (59%) had ‘COVID-altered’ management. ‘Bridging’ endocrine therapy was used (n = 951) where theatre capacity was reduced. There was increasing access to COVID-19 low-risk theatres during the study period (59%). In line with national guidance, immediate breast reconstruction was avoided (n = 299). Where adjuvant chemotherapy was omitted (n = 81), the median benefit was only 3% (IQR 2–9%) using ‘NHS Predict’. There was the rapid adoption of new evidence-based hypofractionated radiotherapy (n = 781, from 46 units). Only 14 patients (1%) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 during their treatment journey. Conclusions: The majority of ‘COVID-altered’ management decisions were largely in line with pre-COVID evidence-based guidelines, implying that breast cancer survival outcomes are unlikely to be negatively impacted by the pandemic. However, in this study, the potential impact of delays to BC presentation or diagnosis remains unknown.

Abstract

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) guides adjuvant therapy in breast cancer. There is controversy regarding its use in elderly women with low‐risk breast cancer. This study aimed to determine whether a positive SLNB in this group affected the decision to offer adjuvant therapy compared with younger patients. This retrospective review included 492 patients, 89 of whom had a positive SLNB. Elderly, node‐positive women were significantly less likely to receive chemotherapy than their younger counterparts (P <.0001), suggesting the use of SLNB in the elderly could be rationalized.

33. The applicability of simple adaptive algorithms for the active control of random noise in ventilation ducts

Author

Abbott, Nick

Abstract

The term Active Noise Control (ANC) describes the suppression of an unwanted sound field by the superposition of an antiphase field. In general, an active control system consists of a sensing mechanism to detect the unwanted noise, a processing element to analyse the sound and produce the antiphase signal and a system of secondary sources to radiate the required antisound. The ideal ANC system would have the ability to modify its own response to accommodate any changes in the environment in which it is placed. Such as system is known as anadaptive one. This thesis is concerned with assessing the suitability of several different recursive algorithms for adapting digital controllers to control random noise within ventilation ducts. Algorithms for adapting both Finite Impulse Response (FIR) and Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) digital filters are studied. Computer simulations are presented which directly compare the performance of the algorithms when used in system identification and when used to control adaptive systems in ducts. Experiments were made in ducts of varying length and ranging from anechoic to highly reverberant in nature. Conclusions drawn from the simulations indicate some very significant savings in terms of economy of filter length when implementing adaptive systems within the duct.

Abstract

Pilonidal sinus is a common entity, most often occurring in the natal cleft. Pilonidal sinus with abscess formation has also been described in hairdressers in the interdigital space. We report a case of pilonidal abscess of the breast in a hairdresser, a rarely reported site, which requires awareness on the clinician's part of this occupational risk, for appropriate management and post-surgery advice on prevention. It is particularly important to impart such information to the reporting pathologist who is key to making this histological diagnosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
