Classification of Ipsilateral Breast Tumor Recurrences After Breast Conservation Therapy Can Predict Patient Prognosis and Facilitate Treatment Planning

Abstract: Objective To classify ipsilateral breast tumor recurrences (IBTR) as either new primary tumors (NP) or true local recurrence (TR). We utilized two different methods and compared sensitivities and specificities between them. Our goal was to determine whether distinguishing NP from TR had prognostic value. Summary Background Data After breast-conservation therapy (BCT), IBTR may be classified into two distinct types (NP and TR). Studies have attempted to classify IBTR by using tumor location, histologic subtyp… Show more

“…However, in patients with IBTR, the frequency of node-positive patients was low (2-16%) [22,26,27,30,31] , being comparable to our data (2%). Therefore, the prognostic importance of the tumor size is thought to be more evident in patients with IBTR than in those with primary breast cancer.…”

“…The 9-year mortality rate was 91.3 % for women who had a short interval from DCIS to cancer versus 96.5 % for women for whom the interval was between 6 and 24 years. This is analogous to the prognostic impact of the disease-free interval among patients with an ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence following primary invasive breast cancer [18,19], suggesting that invasive ipsilateral breast cancers following DCIS have characteristics of invasive local recurrences. Our analysis has some limitations.…”

“…The effect of time since diagnosis on recurrence risk might indicate that we have included a mixture of true recurrences and second primary cancers. In a recent study, Yi et al 17 suggest that approximately one half of inbreast tumour recurrences are true local recurrences of the original cancer; the other half represent new primaries. In that study, the risk of distant metastasis was higher for women categorized as having a true local recurrence than for those categorized as having a second primary.…”

“…The effect of radiotherapy was similar, but the effect size was smaller. In the study by Yi et al 17 , prior chemotherapy was a significant adverse prognostic factor among women with local disease recurrence in a univariable analysis (a multivariable analysis was not done). In the calor trial 7 , prior chemotherapy was a nonsignificant predictor of poor survival after local recurrence (odds ratio: 1.97; p = 0.12).…”
