The Evolving Landscape of Neoadjuvant Systemic Treatments in Breast Cancer (ongoing)

This series on The Evolving Landscape of Neoadjuvant Systemic Treatments in Breast Cancer is edited by Dr. Yoon-Sim Yap, MBBS, PhD, FRACP from Division of Medical Oncology, National Cancer Centre Singapore, Singapore.

Encapsulated chronic recurrent seroma following modified radical mastectomy: surgical resection and reconstruction by muscle-sparing latissimus dorsi flap—a case report and review of literature

Seroma formation is known to be one of the most common complications following modified radical mastectomy. The best management for seroma is prevention by manoeuvres such as attentive surgical techniques, suction drains, quilting and fibrin sealant. Recurrent seroma could be managed by repeated aspiration, compression, seroma-desis and/or sclerotherapy.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma in a male breast: case report

Purely sarcomatous tumors of the breast are extremely uncommon; malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), a type of sarcoma, can occur as a primary lesion in breast parenchyma. Pre-operative diagnosis is possible with immunohistochemical staining for vimentin; with attention to morphologic details; and with immunohistochemistry, misdiagnosis is avoided.

AME entered an official partnership with Publons to enhance wide-ranging recognition for reviewers

AME Publishing Company entered an official partnership with Publons, a product of Clarivate Analytic Company (which owns Web of Science, EndNote, ScholarOne, among many others), as of April 2020. Around 60 AME journals’ peer review systems are now integrated seamlessly into the Publons platform (https://publons.com/about/home). The partnership was done to recognize our expert peer reviewers spontaneously for their review contribution.

Pathological complete response in the axillary lymph nodes post neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer, is it predictable?

Background: With the recent advances in breast cancer management in the neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) setting the rates of pathological complete response (pCR) in the breast and the axilla has become more achievable. This has imposed a more conservative surgical approach. While, axillary node clearance (ANC) is still the gold standard procedure in node positive axilla. Converting a node positive into node negative axilla allows surgical de-escalation. However, an evidence-based selection criteria would improve outcomes in this group of patients.

Necrotizing soft tissue infection of the breast: bilateral presentation in a male patient

Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) can affect any part of the body but are rarely seen in the breast. To date, most cases have presented unilaterally, and all published reports have occurred in female patients. We describe the first case of bilateral NSTI of the breasts in a male patient with history of mastitis and breast biopsies. He was successfully treated with antibiotics and bilateral mastectomy. A history of mastitis or instrumentation of the breast should raise suspicion for a necrotizing soft infection of the breast even in a male, in the setting of systemic and radiologic signs consistent with a necrotizing infection.

Nipple adenoma: a review of the literature

Nipple adenomas (NA) are benign proliferations that can behave in a locally infiltrative manner and can thus mimic and present with features of breast malignancy. This article presents an up-to-date review of the literature on the presentation, diagnosis pathological assessment and surgical treatment of these rare lesions. A Medline, PubMed and OVID search was performed for all articles on nipple adenomata using keywords “nipple” and “adenoma, papillomatosis, adenosis, syringomatous, erosive, pathology and nodule”. The literature on nipple adenomata consists mainly of case series or case reports, with a variety of management techniques described. Nipple adenomata remain rare benign proliferations with most standard breast units expecting to see one to two cases per year.

Reduction of postoperative opioid use in oncologic breast surgery and the creation of multimodal pain management guidelines and practices

Background: The US is in the midst of an opioid crisis. Prescribing physicians are now pressured to balance patient pain management and opioid prescribing behavior. The responsibility of curbing the flow of opioids into the general US populace and optimizing pain management for their patients is in the hands of the prescribing physician.
