BCT yields favorable outcomes for the large majority of patients, although increased LR was observed among those with non-luminal-A subtypes, younger age, and increasing lymph node involvement. Risk factors for LR after BCT appear to be converging with those after mastectomy in the current era.
The human gut microbiome partakes in a bidirectional communication pathway with the central nervous system (CNS), named the microbiota-gut-brain axis.The microbiota-gut-brain axis is believed to modulate various central processes through the vagus nerve as well as production of microbial metabolites and immune mediators which trigger changes in neurotransmission, neuroinflammation, and behavior. Little is understood about the utilization of microbiome manipulation to treat disease. Though studies exploring the role of the microbiome in various disease processes have shown promise, mechanisms remain unclear and evidence-based treatments for most illnesses have not yet been developed.

Our findings suggest that LR is associated with younger age, nodal involvement, and biologic subtype but not with residual disease at reexcision. The study's power is limited by the low incidence of LR despite detailed clinical data and long-term follow-up. Further study is required.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
