ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the diagnostic and therapeutic methods for male breast cancer. Methods Clinical data of 11 cases of male breast cancer treated in our hospital from 1992 were analyzed (retrospectively). Results 2 patients were diagnosed at advanced stage and survived 6 and 8 months (respectively) after biopsy. The other 9 patients received radical mastectomy. 3 were lost to follow-up, 1 was found to have pulmonary metastasis after 5 years and combined treatment of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine was given. Nodules were found under the axillary fossa in another patient at five years after surgery and the nodules were recurrent carcinoma as confirmed by biopsy. The patient has survived for 7 years with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The other 4 cases have survived 0.5 to 7 years respectively, and are undergoing treatment. Conclusions Early diagnosis of male breast cancer should be emphasized. Aggressive surgery combined with other auxiliary treatments are effective.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the trend of occurrence,diagnosis,and prognosis of breast cancer in the cases treated in Peking Union Medical College Hospital(PUMCH) between 1975 and 2006.Methods A total of 1092 cases of breast cancer treated in the PUMCH from 1975 to 2006 were classified into six groups by time span and reviewed for a comparative study on the parameters of gender,age,menstruation status,tumor size,mumber of positive axillary nodes,pathologic stage,recurrence and metastasis and disease-free survival rate.Results The average age of breast cancer patient has risen from 50.90 to 53.92,while 40-49 year-old group was the largest age group of breast cancer patients,and the percentage of menopause female was the highest.Tumor size has gradually been smaller especially since 2000.The number of positive axillary nodes showed no significant change during the time periods.In all 6 groups,stage-II cases were more frequent,although the percentage of stage-0 and stage-I cases was on the rise,while the percentage of stage-III declined,and that of stage-IV remained stable.In all 6 groups,the 5-year and 10-year disease free survival rate had steadily increased.Conclusions The early diagnostic rate of breast cancer has been improving and subsequently the prognosis has improved as well.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the expressions of XIAP and survivin in breast carcinoma tissues and their(value) in predicting the recurrence of breast carcinoma.Methods The expression of XIAP and survivin in 65 benign and 65 malignant breast paraffin-embedded specimens was detected by using immunohistochemical assay and the results were compared.Results The positive rate of XIAP and survivin in recurrent breast carcinoma(recurrent group) was 82.2% and 85.7% respectively,and in non-recurrent breast carcinoma tissue(non-recurrent group) was 54.5% and 45.5% respectively,and in both groups were increased significantly as compared with that of benign breast tissues(20.0%,and 13.3% respectively).The positive expression of XIAP and survivin was increased significantly in recurrent group as compared with non-recurrent group(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of detecting mammaglobin in sentinel lymph nodes(SLN) of breast cancer. Methods In 32 breast cancer patients, methylene blue was injected around parechyma of breast cancer to locate the SLNs, and nested RT PCR(reverse transcriptase polgmecane chain reaction) was used to examine the expression of mammaglobin mRNA. Results The SLN was successfully identified in 30 of the 32 cases(93.8%).The micrometastases detection between group SLNs and non SLNs had significant statistical difference(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the clinical diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of and the factors influencing prognosis of breast cancer(BC) in young women. Methods A restrospective analysis of the clinical data of 59 cases treated from Jan .1990 to Dec. 1998was carried out in the Second Xiangya Hospital. Results All patients underwent operation, including 31 radical mastectomy , 25 modified radical mastectomy and 3 simple mastectomy. 34 cases had axillary lymph node metastasis. The overall 3,5 and 7 year survival rates were 67.2% , 61.0% and 57.1%respectively. The 3,5 year survival rates in patients with axillary-lymph node metastasis were lower than those in patients without axillary lymph node metastasis (61.8%,45.5%vs 86.4% ,83.3%). The 3,5 year survival rates in patients with negative C erbB 2 expression were 84.6%,82.4% and in patients with positive C erbB 2 expression were 54.6%,45.8%,respectively(all P
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the treatment and prognosis factor of male breast cancer(MBC). Methods The clinical data of 37 male cases of breast cancer were analyzed retrospectively.All the patrents underwent operation , including radical mastectomy(10cases), modified radical mastectomy(19cases),simple mastectomy plus axillary lymph node extirpation(4cases) and mastectomy (4cases).Results the 5-year survival rate of operation mentioned above were 80.0% ,78.9%,25.0%,25.0%, respectively. The 5 years survival rate in patients with axillary lymph node metastasis and without metastasis were 50.0% and 93.3%( P
ABSTRACT
Objective To exploration the value of color Doppler ultrasounographhy(CDU) in the diagnosis of breast mass. Methods The clinical data of 600 cases of breast tumor treated in our hospital in recent 3 years were retrospectively analysed, all patients were examined with CDU before operation. Results CDU found breast small tumor in 163 cases(27.2%) which couldn’t detected by hands, found multiple masses in 307 cases(51.2%);and suspected malignancy in 75 cases,of the 75 cases,malignancies were comfirmed by pathological examination in 72 cases(96.0%).Conclusions CDU can find small breast mass which can not be detected by hands,and can determin the mass is a tumor or not.CDU can also find early stage of breast cancer.CDU is non-traumatic,rasily to be perfomed and repeated.CDU can improve the preoperative diagnosis rate of breast mass.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the characteristic, diagnosis and treatment of occult breast carcinoma(OBC). Methods The clinical data of 12 cases of OBC were analyzed retrospectively.Results All patients showed axillary node enlargement as the first sign and were operated on. The operation included axillary node excision (ANE) in 1 patient, axillary node excision plus simple mastectomy in another one, radical mastectomy in 6, and modified radical mastectomy in the other 4,respectively. Eleven patients (91.7%) were followed up for 1-15 years. During the follow up, 1 patient who underwent axillary node resection and 1 who received ANE plus simple mastectomy died of systemic metastasis,18 and 22 months after operation respectively;another case who subjected to radical mastectomy had axillary lymph node metastasis 3 years after the operation,and was re operated on,but the patient died of lung metastasis 4 years after the reoperation. And the others still survived, in which 2 have lived for over 3 years, 2 over 5 years, and 4 over 10 years. Conclusions For axillary mass which causes are uncertain, the possibility of OBC should be considered.Meanwhile excision and pathological examination are necessary. The metastatic histological structure of the axillary nodes usually provide important clue for the source of tumor. Radical or modified mastectomy is the best treatment,and post operative chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy should be done.
ABSTRACT
Objective To introduce the advance of the diagnosis and tretment of breast cancer(BC). Methods Reveiwing the recently world reference regarding to the diagnosis and treatment of BC was done for making an advancing paper of BC. Results The NF ?B and telomerase may be a new target of anti cancer of breast. The ECT, fiberoptic mammaroductoscopy, examine of micrometastase of BC, immuno cell chemical examine were progressing in the diagnosis of BC. The advance of the treatiment of BC included breast conservative surgery, lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy, biochemical response modifier, new adjuvant chemotherapy, TAM and 1,25 (OH) 2D 3 treatmen. Conclusions The idea and mould of the diagnosis and treatment of BC have advanced obviously.
