Variations in cancer care for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with ductal carcinoma in situ
Abstract
NCCN guidelines recommend tamoxifen (TAM) for adjuvant treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). TAM has side effects that can potentially complicate treatment recommendations and patient acceptance. It is unknown how well‐accepted this recommended therapy is for the adolescent and young adult (AYA) patient population with DCIS. The NCDB was used to identify patients aged 15‐39 with DCIS treated between 2000 and 2012. Patient demographic, socioeconomic, and treatment data were collected. Chi‐squared test and multivariate analysis were used for statistical assessment. A total of 3988 women were identifie...

Outcomes of “one‐day” vs “two‐day” injection protocols using Tc‐99m tilmanocept for sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer
Abstract
No prior studies have compared Tc‐99m tilmanocept (TcTM) one‐day and two‐day injection protocols for sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in breast cancer (BC). We retrospectively identified patients with clinically node‐negative BC undergoing SLN biopsy at our institution. Patients received a single, intradermal peritumoral injection of TcTM on day of surgery or day prior to surgery in addition to an intraoperative injection of isosulfan blue dye. Univariable and multivariable Poisson regression count models were constructed to assess the effects of injection timing, radiologist, patient and surgeon character...

Impact of preoperative BRCA1/2 testing on surgical decision making in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer
This study evaluates the impact of preoperative genetic testing on surgical decision making in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer. Women with newly diagnosed breast cancer were classified into preoperative or postoperative genetic testing group, depending on whether they received their genetic testing results prior to or after their first surgery. Demographics, tumor characteristics, surgical treatment, and results of genetic testing were retrospectively collected. A total of 997 patients were evaluated, 531 (53.3%) in the preoperative genetic testing group and 466 (46.7%) in the postoperative group. Majority (87....
