Background: Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) which has recently been renamed into Ductal Intraepithelial Neoplasia (DIN), is a malignant cell proliferation without invasion to basement membrane of ducts or lobules of breast. DCIS consists 20-30% of newly diagnosed breast cancers in some Western countries due to higher diagnosis resulting from screening by mammography. Relative Risk (RR) of invasive ductal carcinoma is 8-10 times in DCIS, although high grading lesions and positive or close surgical margins are two important predictive factors in DCIS recurrences. The adjuvant radiotherapy has decreased the rate of ipsilateral local recurrence about 60%. In this article, we evaluated the recurrence rate as DCIS as well as invasive breast cancer in patients with DCIS undergoing breast conserving surgery (BCS) and intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT).Methods: Data were derived from Cancer Research Center database from 38 pure DCIS cases who had received intraoperative radiation therapy between 2012–2017. Intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) was performed according to Iran's intraoperative radiation therapy consensus.Results: The median age of the patients was 55 years and median histological lesion size was 1.8 centimeters. Number of extracted lymph nodes had a median of 1 and all extracted nodes were negative. Hormonal therapy was performed in 42.1% of patients. IOERT was done as radical full exposure for 86.9% of cases and as boost dose for 13.1% of cases, who needed to complete radiotherapy by external beam. One case in the group received boost dose and 4 cases in the group received full dose had recurrence. The median follow-up of patients was 31 months. Pathology of recurrence was reported as DCIS in 3 cases and invasive breast cancer in 2 of them.Conclusion: There is not a lot of data on the effectiveness of IOERT in DCIS management. Although there are not large number of cases in our study, the local recurrence (13.1%) was only event in our study with 31 months median follow up with no contralateral metastasis, distant metastasis, or death.

Purpose Four randomized studies show that adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) lowers the risk of subsequent ipsilateral breast events (IBEs) after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) by approximately 50% after 10 to 15 years. We present 20 years of follow-up data for the SweDCIS trial. Patients and Methods Between 1987 and 1999 1,046 women were randomly assigned to RT or not after BCS for primary DCIS. Results up to 2005 have been published, and we now add another 7 years of follow-up. All breast cancer events and causes of death were registered. Results There were 129 in situ and 129 invasive IBEs. Absolute risk reduction in the RT arm was 12.0% at 20 years (95% CI, 6.5 to 17.7), with a relative risk reduction of 37.5%. Absolute reduction was 10.0% (95% CI, 6.0 to 14.0) for in situ and 2.0% (95% CI, −3.0 to 7.0) for invasive IBEs. There was a nonstatistically significantly increased number of contralateral events in the RT arm (67 v 48 events; hazard ratio, 1.38; 95% CI, 0.95 to 2.00). Breast cancer–specific death and overall survival were not influenced. Younger women experienced a relatively higher risk of invasive IBE and lower effect of RT. The hazard over time looked different for in situ and invasive IBEs. Conclusion Use of adjuvant RT is supported by 20-year follow-up. Modest protection against invasive recurrences and a possible increase in contralateral cancers still call for a need to find groups of patients for whom RT could be avoided or mastectomy with breast reconstruction is indicated.

Abstract Background and objective Currently no definite guideline exists on the use of intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) among patients with early stage BC. We report our experiences with IORT among breast cancer (BC) patients in our region.Methods All patient who received radical IORT from April 2014 on to March 2020 were included in the study. Patient selection criteria were as followed: age equal or older than 45 years old; all cases of invasive carcinomas, moreover in lobular carcinomas only after MRI and confirmation, and in cases with ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS) only those with low, intermediate grade, tumor size of equal or less than 2.5cm and a margin of 2-3mm; those between 45 and 50 years old with a tumor size of 0-2cm, those between 50 and 55 years old with a tumor size of 2-2.5cm, and those ≥55 years old with a tumor size of 2.5-3cm; those with invasive tumors a negative margin and in cases of DCIS a margin of 3mm; a negative nodal status (exception in patients with micrometastasis); and a positive estrogen receptor status. Results Overall, 252 patients entered the study. Mean (SD) age of patients was 56.43±7.79 years. In total, 32.9% of patients had a family history of BC. Mean tumor size was 1.56±0.55 cm. Median (IQR) follow-up of patients was 24 (13, 36) months. Overall, 6 patients (2.4%) experienced recurrence in follow-up visits, among which three (1.2%) were local recurrence, two (0.8%) were regional recurrence and one patients (0.4%) had metastasis.Median (IQR) time to recurrence was 23 (13, 36) among the six patient who had recurrence. Overall, 11 patients (4.3%) with DCIS in our study received IORT. All these patients had free margins in histopathology examination. None of these patients experience recurrence.Conclusion For the first time, we categorized patients according to age and tumor size and older patients with larger tumor sizes were considered appropriate candidates for IORT. Our series showed a successful experience with the use of IORT in a region where facilities for IORT are limited using our modified criteria for patient selection.

Abstract Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is performed in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) because of the small size of the tumor. It is essential to know the quantitative extent of the tumor before performing this precise partial resection surgery. A three-dimensional printed (3DP) breast surgical guide (BSG) was developed using information obtained from supine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 3D printing technology and it was used for treating patients with breast cancer. Here, we report our experience with the application of the BSG for patients with DCIS. Patients with breast cancer who underwent BCS from July 2017 to February 2019 were included in this study. The patients underwent partial resection with a supine-MRI based 3DP-BSG. A total of 102 BCS using 3DP-BSG were conducted, and 11 cases were DCIS. The patients’ median age was 56 years (range, 38–69 years). The mean tumor diameter was 1.3 ± 0.9 cm. The median surgical time was 70 min (range, 40–88 min). All patients had tumor-free resection margins. The median distance from the tumor to the margin was 11 mm (range, 2–35 mm). Direct demarcation of the tumor extent in the breast and a pain-free procedure are the advantages of using 3DP-BSG in patients with DCIS.

Purpose The NSABP (National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project) B-24 study demonstrated significant benefit with adjuvant tamoxifen in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) after lumpectomy and radiation. Patients were enrolled without knowledge of hormone receptor status. The current study retrospectively evaluated the relationship between receptors and response to tamoxifen. Patients and Methods Estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PgR) were evaluated in 732 patients with DCIS (41% of original study population). An experienced central laboratory determined receptor status in all patient cases with available paraffin blocks (n = 449) by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using comprehensively validated assays. Results for additional patients (n = 283) determined by various methods (primarily IHC) were available from enrolling institutions. Combined results were evaluated for benefit of tamoxifen by receptor status at 10 years and overall follow-up (median, 14.5 years). Results ER was positive in 76% of patients. Patients with ER-positive DCIS treated with tamoxifen (v placebo) showed significant decreases in subsequent breast cancer at 10 years (hazard ratio [HR], 0.49; P < .001) and overall follow-up (HR, 0.60; P = .003), which remained significant in multivariable analysis (overall HR, 0.64; P = .003). Results were similar, but less significant, when subsequent ipsilateral and contralateral, invasive and noninvasive, breast cancers were considered separately. No significant benefit was observed in ER-negative DCIS. PgR and either receptor were positive in 66% and 79% of patients, respectively, and in general, neither was more predictive than ER alone. Conclusion Patients in NSABP B-24 with ER-positive DCIS receiving adjuvant tamoxifen after standard therapy showed significant reductions in subsequent breast cancer. The use of adjuvant tamoxifen should be considered for patients with DCIS.

Node Biopsy

192 Background: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) has been regarded as curable with resection, but axillary lymph node metastases have been reported in 2% of DCIS patients. Even when DCIS has been diagnosed by preoperative core needle biopsy (CNB), 8% to 38% of the patients have been found to have invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) on the basis of pathological diagnosis after surgical treatment. The indication of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and breast-conserving surgery (BCS) for DCIS is still controversial. Methods: SLNB is a standard surgical technique for early breast cancer treatment, and indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence method is remarkable in terms of the visualization of lymphatic flow. We analyzed the variation in lymphatic drainage routes from the nipple to the SLN (sentinel lymphatic routes) by using the ICG florescence method in early breast cancer patients and investigated the effects on the localization of the tumor to the sentinel lymphatic routes after BCS. Results: From November 2010 to April 2012, we recorded the sentinel lymphatic routes in 118 patients. All the routes passed through the upper outer quadrant (UOQ) area, and there were more than 2 routes in 53 cases. Of these routes, 73% passed through only the UOQ area and 27% passed through the UOQ via the upper inner, lower inner, and/or lower outer quadrant area. Conclusions: We should confirm the sentinel lymphatic routes by using the ICG florescence method before BCS for preoperatively diagnosed DCIS. If the lymphatic routes do not pass over the extent of resection of BCS, we can omit SLNB in the first surgical treatment and await the final pathological result. However, we should perform SLNB in addition to BCS in cases in which the lymphatic routes pass over the tumor in the region except the UOQ area.

519 Background: Most women diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) undergo surgical resection, potentially leading to overtreatment of patients who would not develop clinically significant breast cancer in the absence of locoregional treatment. We compared the risk of ipsilateral invasive breast cancer (iIBC) between DCIS patients who received breast conserving surgery (BCS) for their index diagnosis of DCIS (BCS group) and patients who did not receive any locoregional treatment within 6 months of diagnosis (surveillance [SV] group). Methods: A treatment-stratified random sample of patients diagnosed with screen-detected and biopsy-confirmed DCIS in 2008-14 was selected from 1,330 Commission on Cancer-accredited facilities (20/site). Excluding patients who received a mastectomy ≤6 months, the final analytic cohort contained 14,245 (88.2%) BCS and 1,914 (11.8%) SV patients. Subsequent breast events were abstracted up to 10 years after diagnosis. Primary outcome was the 8-year absolute difference in iIBC risk between BCS and SV; a subgroup analysis was performed for grade I/II patients. A propensity score (PS) model for treatment was fitted with sampling design (SD) weighting and random effects for patients within facilities. Absolute risk differences were estimated using PS-SD-weighted Kaplan Meier estimators. Results: Overall, median age at diagnosis was 61 years (IQR: 52-69) and median follow-up was 5.8 years (95% CI 5.7-6.1). The majority of patients were Caucasian (81.9%), with estrogen receptor-positive (80.6%), and nuclear grade I/II (54.5%) DCIS. The fraction of patients with a Charlson comorbidity score of ≥2 was higher in SV (14.2%) compared to BCS (6.4%, p < 0.001). The 8-year risk of iIBC was 3.0% (95% CI: 2.4%-3.6%) for BCS and 7.7% (95% CI: 4.9%-10.5%) for SV, with an absolute risk difference of 4.7% (95% CI: 4.5%-4.9%; log-rank p < 0.001). Among patients with grade I/II tumors, the 8-year risk of iIBC was 3.1% (95% CI: 2.3%-4.0%) for BCS and 6.1% (95% CI: 2.5%-9.8%) for SV; difference: 3.0% (95% CI: 2.7%-3.2%; p = 0.005). Conclusions: Despite an increased risk of iIBC in SV patients compared to BCS patients, the 8-year risk did not exceed 10% in either group. The risk of recurrence in BCS patients was comparable to previously reported estimates. These data demonstrate a considerable degree of overtreatment among patients with non-high grade DCIS. Prospective clinical trials will help determine the tradeoffs between universally directed as opposed to selectively applied surgery for low risk DCIS.

Background: Radiotherapy plays an essential role in breast cancer treatment following breast conserving surgery even in good-risk patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) histology. It can be delivered by many techniques, among which is intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT). In recent years, intraoperative radiation therapy has had the same outcome compared with EBRT. Objectives: We studied whether whole breast radiotherapy (WBRT) could safely be replaced by IORT and its ability to control local recurrence like EBRT in pure DCIS. Methods: We assigned 138 patients into the external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), radical, and boost groups. The patients were treated during the last 6 years in the Cancer Research Center of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. A total of 57 patients received EBRT, 45 patients received the radical dose of radiotherapy by IORT (36 patients received intraoperative electron radiotherapy [IOeRT] and 9 patients received intraoperative X-ray radiotherapy [IOxRT]) according to the IRIORT consensus protocol, and 36 patients received the boost dose of radiotherapy by IORT (15 patients received IOeRT and 21 patients received IOxRT). The IORT and EBRT groups were compared. The primary endpoint was local recurrence and death and the secondary endpoint was the role of variables in local recurrence. Results: With the mean follow-up of 37 months for the IORT group and 40.1 months for the EBRT group, local recurrence occurred in 8.8% (5 patients), 13.9% (5 patients), and 2.2% (1 patient) of the patients in the EBRT, boost, and radical groups, respectively. Concerning the local recurrence, no significant difference was observed between the radical and EBRT groups (P = 0.058) and between the boost and EBRT groups (P = 0.12). Hazard ratios (HRs) of grade, hormone receptor (HR), tumor size, and age in disease-free survival were evaluated and none of these variables had a significant role in local recurrence. Conclusions: IORT is a good alternative for WBRT in DCIS patients because of its non-inferiority results in comparison with EBRT. Being careful about age, tumor size, biological markers, and margin status is of high importance when using IORT for DCIS.

Abstract Background Preoperative breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides more information than mammography and ultrasonography for determining the surgical plan for patients with breast cancer. This study aimed to determine whether breast MRI is more useful for patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) lesions than for those with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). Methods A total of 1113 patients with breast cancer underwent mammography, ultrasonography, and additional breast MRI before surgery. The patients were divided into 2 groups: DCIS (n = 199) and IDC (n = 914), and their clinicopathological characteristics and oncological outcomes were compared. Breast surgery was classified as follows: conventional breast-conserving surgery (Group 1), partial mastectomy with volume displacement (Group 2), partial mastectomy with volume replacement (Group 3), and total mastectomy with or without reconstruction (Group 4). The initial surgical plan (based on routine mammography and ultrasonography) and final surgical plan (after additional breast MRI) were compared between the 2 groups. The change in surgical plan was defined as group shifting between the initial and final surgical plans. Results Changes (both increasing and decreasing) in surgical plans were more common in the DCIS group than in the IDC group (P <  0.001). These changes may be attributed to the increased extent of suspicious lesions on breast MRI, detection of additional daughter nodules, multifocality or multicentricity, and suspicious findings on mammography or ultrasonography but benign findings on breast MRI. Furthermore, the positive margin incidence in frozen biopsy was not different (P = 0.138). Conclusions Preoperative breast MRI may provide more information for determining the surgical plan for patients with DCIS than for those with IDC.
