Abstract ES3-2: Indications for nipple sparing mastectomy

Indications for nipple sparing mastectomyJean-Yves Petit (EIO - Milan) Benefit of the nipple areola complex (NAC) conservation has been shown (1,). To reduce the risk of local recurrences (LR), inclusion criteria and/or add localized radiation therapy have been proposed. The LR rate in patients receiving NSM is comparable with the rate in modified radical or skin-sparing mastectomies(2) Same conclusions have been raised in a study of one thousand NSM in Milan(3). LR were observed in 3 to 6% of patients at 5 years, consistent with traditional mastectomy. Today, the quality of the surgery allows for a more radical glandular removal in the retro areolar area. The significant risk factors associated with LR for the group of invasive carcinomas were grade, over expression/amplification of HER2/neu and breast cancer molecular subtype Luminal B. In the group of intra epithelial neoplasia the risk factors were age ( < 45 years), absence of estrogen receptors, grade, HER2/neu overexpression and high Ki-67(4). The quality of the duct resection in the nipple questions the role of the intra operative radiotherapy. J. Rusby demonstrated that although several ducts were originating from the base of the areola, most of them are concentrated in the axis of the nipple and concluded that a subtotal removal of the duct can be performed(5). We decided at the IEO to postpone the radiotherapy on the NAC to the cases with non radical cancer resection . Tips and trick will be shown to improve the qu...
