Hypofractionated Partial Breast Irradiation With Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy in Early Breast Cancer or Carcinoma < em > In Situ < /em > : An Investigational Short-Term Analysis
CONCLUSION: Hypofractionated PBI demonstrated favorable IBTR rates in patients with early breast cancer, with low incidence of acute and late toxicities in the short-term analysis.PMID:38529590 | DOI:10.4048/jbc.2023.0296 (Source: Journal of Breast Cancer)

Patient-reported symptoms before adjuvant locoregional radiotherapy for breast cancer: triple-negative histology impacts the symptom burden
ConclusionDifferent surgical strategies, age, and body mass index did not impact on ESAS scores, while the type of adjuvant systemic therapy did. The effect of previous neoadjuvant treatment and unfavorable tumor biology (triple negative) emerged as important factors associated with symptom burden, albeit in different domains. ESAS data may facilitate identification of patients who should be considered for additional supportive measures to alleviate specific symptoms. (Source: Strahlentherapie und Onkologie)

Comparison of clinical characteristics between ACOSOG Z0011-eligible cohort and sentinel lymph node-positive breast cancer patients in Hong Kong
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that clinicopathological features were comparable between SLN-positive breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomy and those undergoing breast-conserving treatment. Low-risk SLN-positive mastectomy patients may safely avoid completion axillary lymph node dissection.PMID:38523397 | DOI:10.12809/hkmj2210286 (Source: Hong Kong Medical Journal)
