  1. Treatment of Early Breast Cancer Frances Wright MD MEd FRCSC

  2. Objectives • imaging & diagnosis • historical overview of surgical treatment • current practice • breast surgery • axillary staging

  3. Radiologic Work-up • Common • Mammogram • Ultrasound • Good for young women • Usually targeted • Uncommon • Galactogram • MRI

  4. Mammogram

  5. Some cancers are not found until they reach this size A mammogram can find cancer when it is only this size Benefits of Mammogram www.obsp.on.ca

  6. Survival and Stage of Breast Cancer

  7. Mammogram X-ray of the Breast • No screening tool 100% effective • 85-90% of all breast cancers in women > 50 can be identified on mammogram

  8. Mammograms and Cancer

  9. Ultrasound of Breast Cancer

  10. Magnetic Resonance Imaging

  11. Advantage Not affected by breast density Can identify occult disease Disadvantage Dependent on who does the imaging Sensitive, not very specific Need MRI biopsy capability MRI

  12. Breast MRI – Screening… • Who should get ? • Screening - evidence • BRCA mutation carriers • Untested 1st degree relatives of carriers • Family history of hereditary cancer syndrome; risk > 25% • Screening – no good evidence • Prior chest radiation before age 30 (Hodgkins) • Some women with LCIS/atypia

  13. MRI for Surgeons • Treatment Planning • 3% of contralateral breast cancers are occult to physical exam/ mammo (Lehman 2007) • Occult primary with axillary mets • Paget’s disease of the nipple • Invasive lobular carcinoma • Extent of disease work up • Evaluation of residual disease

  14. Breast Imaging Reporting & Data Systems = BIRADS

  15. Imaging • BIRADs classification 1 2 3 4 5 Needs biopsy No action

  16. The work-up: Pathology • Core needle biopsy • Gives more information – • type of cells – invasive vs. non-invasive • Fine needle biopsy – not done as much now • Malignant vs. not malignant • Rule out cyst • Excisional biopsy - uncommon now

  17. Pathology: Ductal Carcinoma in situ and Invasive ductal Carcinoma No lymph node involvement Ductal carcinoma in situ Potential lymph node involvement Invasive ductal carcinoma

  18. There must be clinical, radiologic and pathologicagreement (concordance) in diagnosis • If one doesn’t fit – consider surgical excisional biopsy

  19. The evolution of breast surgery • Halsted 1852 - 1922 • tumour begins small • systematic progression to surrounding tissues • involvement of lymphatics leads to distant spread • local control = cure

  20. The evolution of breast surgery • Halstedian principles • radical mastectomy • Breast, pectoralis major and minor and axillary tissue

  21. The evolution of breast surgery • Bernard Fisher • breast cancer systemic at onset • surgery impact is local • lumpectomy + RT = mastectomy

  22. The evolution of breast surgery • “Fisherian” theory • breast conservation

  23. The evolution of breast surgery Halstedian principles radical mastectomy versus “Fisherian” theory breast conservation

  24. Breast conservation • removal of tumour with a margin of normal tissue • post-operative radiation to reduce local recurrence rates • suitable for clinicalstage I-II tumours (< 5cm, mobile) • acceptable cosmetic outcome • equivalent survival to mastectomy • higher local recurrence rate 7-8% vs. 5%

  25. Mastectomy • large or multicentric tumours • unacceptable cosmesis, small breast : tumour ratio • persistent positive margins with conserving surgery • contraindication to radiation • patient preference

  26. Breast Breast conservation or Mastectomy Axilla Sentinel Node Biopsy possible axillary dissection or Level I/II axillary dissection Surgical Treatment of Early Breast Cancer

  27. Axillary Surgery • axillary status most significant prognostic indicator • role in determining need for adjuvant therapy • provides local control if nodes involved with tumour • controversial survival benefit

  28. Axillary Lymph Node Dissection • associated morbidities • decrease range of motion, sensory defects, pain • nerve injury • lymphedema of ipsilateral arm (10-15%) • majority of women node negative • no benefit from removal of negative nodes

  29. Likelihood of having lymph node involvement Carter 1989

  30. The sentinel node for breast cancer • Cabanas 1977 - penile cancer and inguinal nodes • Morton 1992 - melanoma • Krag 1994 - isotope in breast cancer • Guiliano - blue dye in breast cancer • Albertini - blue dye and isotope

  31. Sentinel node concept • first node or nodes in the draining nodal basin most likely to harbour metastases • status of the sentinel node reflects the status of the entire nodal basin • if found to be negative, no further axillary nodes removed • enables staging with less morbidity

  33. Radioisotope +/-Blue Dye

  34. radioactivity blue dye

  35. Pathological evaluation • usual evaluation is bi-valve of 10 - 20 nodes • retrieval of fewer nodes (1-3) allows more extensive evaluation • H & E multiple sections • immunohistochemical staining (IHC) • No accepted standard

  36. Sentinel node biopsy for who? • small invasive T1 - T2 tumours • clinically node negative • contraindicated in • locally advanced or inflammatory • Not as accurate • prior lumpectomy • prior ALND

  37. Sentinel node biopsy by whom? • specialized multidisciplinary technique involving surgeon, nuclear medicine and pathology • surgeons should be familiar with risks/benefits and perform breast surgery routinely • recommended surgeons have performed at least 20 cases with “back up” axillary dissection first • should have a localization rate > 90% • should have false negative rate < 5%

  38. Sentinel Node Biopsy - evidence? • multi-institutional validation study using radioisotope1 • single institution series using blue dye 2 • over 60 other observational series reporting similar results • one randomized control trial to date with 46 mo f/u demonstrating no difference in adverse events & less morbidity 3 1Krag et al. NEJM 1998; 339(14):941 - 946 2Guiliano et al. Ann Surg 1994; 220:391- 401 3Veronesi et al. NEJM 2003; 349(6):546 - 53

  39. Sentinel Node Biopsy - evidence? • two large multicentre trials recently completed accrual • NSABP 32 & ACOSOG Z0010 • ACOSOG Z0011 accruing (SLN node positive) • objectives: • determine local recurrence and survival in women undergoing sentinel lymph node biopsy only • determine morbidity associated with sentinel lymph node biopsy

  41. Summary • Evolution of breast cancer surgery for more to less • More and more specialized • Less morbidity for patient
