Traditionally, the role of surgery has been confined to strict palliation. Improvements in the efficacy of chemotherapeutic regimens, coupled with the use of hormonal and targeted therapy, have resulted in an expansion of surgical resection beyond simple palliation. Several single-institution studies have reported improved survival and even long-term cures after surgical resection for oligometastatic stage IV breast cancer. Similarly, provocative new data suggest that removal of the primary tumor in some patients may confer a survival advantage. The aim of this review is to summarize studies in the medical literature per...

Low-grade PM (DPAM) should be regarded as a separate entity because of its clearly different clinical course. High-grade mucinous PM has significant better prognosis than nonmucinous PM and should thus be distinguished.

Axillary lymph node dissection has been the standard method of staging the axilla in the neoadjuvant setting. Since the sentinel lymph node biopsy was introduced in the early 1990s, less invasive approaches to axillary staging in patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy have been proposed. In this review, we discuss the effects of NAC, the imaging modalities that have been used to evaluate the axillary lymph nodes, and the role and timing of sentinel lymph node biopsy in the neoadjuvant setting. Finally, we propose a treatment algorithm for patients undergoing NAC on the basis of the current data. Content Type Journal...

Staging, tumor size, and lymph node metastasis are prognostic factors of recurrence, although they are not significant in the multivariate analysis.

The TIS and axilla are anatomically linked; patients with SN in both locations should undergo biopsies of both for optimal nodal staging. We recommend directed evaluation for TIS SN in patients with upper back melanomas and recommend clearing the TIS at the time of TIS SN biopsy. Melanoma can metastasize to TIS SN, and we discuss considerations for management of the axilla in patients with positive TIS nodes.

Range of motion and volume outcomes were better for SLNB than ALND, but not strength. SLNB surpassed SLNB + CLND in 2 of the range of motion variables. The clinical relevance of these results is negligible. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory Breast OncologyDOI 10.1245/s10434-010-0981-8Authors Jan J.

To improve outcome, en bloc resection including central lymph node dissection should be the minimal surgical approach in any patient with suspected parathyroid cancer.

The increased rate of mastectomies over recent years made breast reconstruction an integral part of the breast cancer management. Plastic surgery now offers patients a wide variety of reconstruction options from primary closure of the skin flaps to performance of microvascular and autologous tissue transplantation. Well-coordinated partnerships between surgical oncologists, plastic surgeons, and patients address concerns of tumor control, cosmesis, and patients’ wishes. The gamut of breast reconstruction options is reviewed, particularly noting state-of-the-art techniques, as well as the advantages...

The efficiency of measuring CA19-9 for the purpose of detecting recurrence is low, especially in patients with a normal level of preoperative CA19-9. Even in patients with a high preoperative level of CA19-9, CEA might be able to fill the role of CA19-9.

The most recent revision is the 7th edition, effective for cancers diagnosed on or after January 1, 2010. This editorial summarizes the background of the current revision and outlines the major issues revised. Most notable are the marked increase in the use of international datasets for more highly evidenced-based changes in staging, and the enhanced use of nonanatomic prognostic factors in defining the stage grouping. The future of cancer staging lies in the use of enhanced registry data standards to support personalization of cancer care through cancer outcome prediction models and nomograms. Co...

Our findings have important implications for patient counseling, as high-risk melanoma survivors may require no more intensive surveillance than low-risk survivors 8 years after treatment.

However, better selection criteria must be identified, and lymph node sampling should be performed routinely to avoid understaging. Long-term follow-up evaluation (>5 years) is of paramount importance given the possible risk of late recurrence.

Reduced SFRP1 led to C/N accumulation of β-catenin and was associated with tumor malignancy. Therefore, examination of SFRP1 expression and β-catenin location could be useful predictors of tumor progression and prognosis in patients with MEC.

Our local re-recurrence rate of 10% compares well with that following salvage mastectomy for IBTR. Of patients, 43% did not actually meet our selection criteria but yet appeared to fare well in terms of outcome. Therefore we should re-evaluate our selection criteria.

It has several disadvantages such as costs, radiation exposure, and prolonged uncertainty because of the frequent finding of indeterminate lesions. Based on this study, a routine staging chest CT in CRC patients is not advocated.

Once the superficial vascular fascial and Berry’s ligament layers are released, the nerve falls back into the tracheoesophageal groove and adopts a serpiginous appearance, indicating completeness of the dissection of the lobe from the lateral trachea and division of the ligament of Berry.

In patients found to be node positive prior to NAC, MRI was able to predict with moderate sensitivity and specificity whether residual nodal disease was present. The accuracy of MRI is not adequate to obviate either the need for staging by sentinel node biopsy or the need for completion axillary dissection in women determined to be node positive prior to NAC.

In clinical practice, breast cancer survivors should be engaged in supportive dialogues so they can be educated about ways to reduce their risk of developing BCRL.

Pure CCL and ADH lesions are not genetically advanced, and molecular profiles do not support these lesions as obligatory precursors to more advanced disease. Molecular differences between pure and synchronous lesions support re-evaluation of current models of disease initiation, progression, and risk.

Even now, all the antineoplastic pathways it employs are not completely elucidated. It has been shown to enhance apoptosis, inhibit angiogenesis, reduce tumor adherence, downregulate proinflammatory cytokine release, and stimulate anticancer immune regulation following surgical trauma. Apoptosis is activated through both a mitochondrial cytochrome-c-dependent mechanism and an extrinsic direct pathway. A lot of in vitro and animal data support taurolidine’s tumoricidal action. Taurolidine has been used as an antimicrobial agent in the clinical setting since the 1970s and thus far appears nontoxic. The nontoxic nature of taurolidine makes it a favorable option compared with current chemothera...

This technique should facilitate laparoscopic rectal resection because large and distal tumors can be dissected and excised through the perineal wound, ensuring adequate distal clearance and the anastomosis constructed under vision at an appropriate level. Furthermore, the requirement for an abdominal incision is avoided, improving cosmesis. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory Colorectal CancerDOI 10.1245/s10434-009-0877-7Authors Khalid A.
