Management of Early Breast Cancer
Lectures in Early Breast Cancer
A variety of reconstructive techniques are available today aimed at minimising the mutilation effect of mastectomy without compromising the oncological clearance (Ahmed
et al, 2005).

Lectures in Early Breast Cancer
There is no standard or preferred way of reconstruction (Ahmed et al., 2005).
Lectures in Early Breast Cancer
Data from Gazet et al. (1991,1996).
Lectures in Early Breast Cancer
Post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) has been shown to optimise locoregional control and improve survival. However, although all three recent PMRT randomised trials
utilised internal mammary nodal irradiation, its exact contribution to the survival benefit is unclear. CMF, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil.
Data from Ragaz et al. (1997) and Overgaard et al. (1997,1999).
Lectures in Early Breast Cancer
Several trials of accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) were developed in the early 1990s. These showed higher local recurrence rates of 15–18%, but served to
underscore the importance of tailoring APBI to a selected group of patients with low risk of local recurrence. ILC, invasive lobular carcinoma; EIC, extensive intraductal
component.
Data from Ribeiro et al. (1993), Fentiman et al. (2004), and Perera et al. (2003).
Lectures in Early Breast Cancer
Careful attention to histopathology and quality assurance of treatment delivery is essential to ensure APBI is applied appropriately. To this end, both the American
Brachytherapy Society (Arthur et al., 2002) and the American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBS, 2003) have published recommendations for patient selection criteria
for accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI).
Lectures in Early Breast Cancer
There are emerging data that accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) may be a safe and effective technique in breast cancer treatment but this approach requires
longer term randomised evidence, particularly with regards to its equivalence with whole-breast radiotherapy (WBRT) in terms of local recurrence rates and cosmetic
outcomes. EBRT, external beam radiotherapy; HDR, high dose rate; PDR, pulsed dose rate.
Data from NSABP B-39/RTOG 0413 Protocol, Strnad & Polgar (GEC-ESTRO Working Group), Vaidya et al. (2004), and Veronesi et al. (2003).

The EBCTCG confirmed that polychemotherapy produced substantial and highly significant proportional reductions in relation to the risk of relapse and death from breast
cancer. The effects of treatment were described as either proportional or absolute benefits. For women under 50 years at randomisation, the absolute reduction in risk of
relapse was 10.4% for node-negative and 15.4% for node-positive disease. The reduction was also significant for mortality (absolute improvements in 10-year survival of
5.7% and 12.4% for node-negative and -positive disease, respectively). CMF, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil.

Lectures in Early Breast Cancer
For women aged 50–69 years, the absolute reduction in relapse was approximately 5.5% for both node-negative and node-positive individual, and rates in mortality showed
absolute improvements in 10-year survival of 6.4% and 2.3% for node-negative and -positive, respectively. CMF, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil.

Lectures in Early Breast Cancer
Early trials examining the use of anthracyclines were small, or used substandard anthracycline doses and/or regimens, and hence it required an overview to confirm their
benefit over cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil (CMF).

There are international consensus guidelines based on clinicopathological features and outcomes, which are regularly updated to help inform local guidelines and
individual clinicians. The 2005 St Gallen guidelines have defined low-, intermediate- and high-risk categories.

The 2005 St Gallen guidelines recommend adjuvant treatment according to risk and endocrine responsiveness.
