    Early Detection of Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema: Accuracy of Indocyanine Green Lymphography Compared With Bioimpedance Spectroscopy and Subclinical Lymphedema Symptoms
    (Mary Ann Liebert, 2023) Soran, Atilla; Bengur, Fuat Barış; Rodriguez, Wendy; Chroneos, Maria Z.; Sezgin, Efe
    Introduction: The reported incidences of breast cancer-related lymphedema (LE) affecting the arms vary greatly. Reason for this variability includes different diagnostic techniques used across studies. In the current study, we compared the accuracy of indocyanine green lymphography (ICG_L) and bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) in detecting LE before presentation of clinical signs.Methods and Results: Patients with no initial detectable signs of clinical LE of their arms after axillary lymph node dissection or removal of >5 lymph nodes on sentinel lymph node biopsy were included. Subclinical LE was defined as BIS values outside the normal range [(>= 7 units (or >10 units)] or a 7-unit (or 10 unit) change between two measurements. We tracked ICG_L and BIS measurements for 133 potentially affected arms (n = 123). ICG_L detected signs of lymphatic flow disruption in 63 arms (47%). Based on the BIS value of 7 units, 60 arms (45%) had values outside the normal range. When using ICG_L-identified LE cases as true positives, BIS had a 54% accuracy (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.54) in detecting LE. Accuracy was 61% for subclinical LE symptoms when compared with ICG_L (AUC = 0.62). Both BIS and subclinical LE symptoms had <0.70 AUC-receiver characteristic operator curve, suggesting that BIS and development of subclinical LE symptoms are not adequate for identifying patients with subclinical LE.Conclusion: ICG_L is a reliable diagnostic tool for detecting early signs of lymphatic flow disruption in subclinical LE. Utilizing ICG_L to diagnose subclinical LE followed by a personalized treatment plan may provide patients the best chance of preventing disease progression.

    Aso Visual Abstract: Intervention for Hepatic and Pulmonary Metastases in Breast Cancer Patients-Prospective, Multi-Institutional Registry Study: Imet; Protocol Mf 14-02
    (Springer, 2022) Soran, Atilla; Özbaş, Serdar; Özçınar, Beyza; Işık, Arda; Doğan, L.; Şenol, Kazım; Dağ, Ahmet; Karanlık, Hasan; Aytaç, Özgür; Karadeniz Çakmak, Güldeniz; Dalcı, Kubilay; Doğan, Mutlu; Sezer, Atakan Y.; Gökgöz, Şehsuvar; Özyar, Enis; Sezgin, Efe
    The aim of our prospective, multicenter registry study was to investigate the importance of interventions for operable lung and/or liver metastasis for breast cancer (BC) survival (https://doi.org/10.1245/s10434-022-12239-z). The results reveal that surgical resection or ablative interventions may contribute to survival in patients with BC with limited number and operable metachronous hepatic/pulmonary metastases. Ultimately, randomized studies will determine whether intervention on lung and liver metastatic sites should be performed. In the meantime, such interventions can be considered on select patients.

    Intervention for Hepatic and Pulmonary Metastases in Breast Cancer Patients: Prospective, Multi-Institutional Registry Study-Imet, Protocol Mf 14-02
    (Springer, 2022) Soran, Atilla; Özbaş, Serdar; Özçınar, Beyza; Işık, Arda; Doğan, Lütfi; Şenol, Kazım; Dağ, Ahmet; Karanlık, Hasan; Aytaç, Özgür; Karadeniz Çakmak, Güldeniz; Dalcı, Kubilay; Doğan, Mutlu; Sezer, Atakan Y.; Gökgöz, Şehsuvar; Özyar, Enis; Sezgin, Efe
    Background: One fourth of early-stage breast cancer cases become metastatic during the follow-up period. Limited metastasis is a metastatic disease condition in which the number of metastatic sites and the extent of the disease both are limited, and the disease is amenable to metastatic intervention. This prospective study aimed to evaluate intervention for limited metastases in the lung, liver, or both. Methods: The study enrolled luminal A/B and/or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-neu+ patients with operable lung and/or liver metastases in the follow-up assessment after completion of primary breast cancer treatment and patients with a diagnosis of metastasis after 2014. Demographic, clinical, tumor-specific, and metastasis detection-free interval (MDFI) data were collected. Bone metastasis in addition to lung and liver metastases also was included in the analysis. The patients were divided into two groups according to the method of treatment for metastases: systemic therapy alone (ST) group or intervention (IT) group.

    Adding Pneumatic Compression Therapy in Lower Extremity Lymphedema Increases Compliance of Treatment, While Decreasing the Infection Rate
    (Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2022) Soran, Atilla; Toktaş, Osman; Grassi, Ariel; Sezgin, Efe
    Background: Lymphedema (LE) is a chronic condition that requires lifelong treatment. Although pneumatic compression therapy (PCT) is one treatment option, current algorithms consider it as an adjunct to standard LE. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the importance of adapting PCT for lower extremity LE (LEL) in relation to patient compliance and rate of infection.</p> Materials and Methods: Patients diagnosed with LEL were followed prospectively. Patient demographics, comorbidities, treatment modality, compliance, infection due to LE, and hospitalization were recorded. LEL patients with no-PCT were also recorded in the same time period to evaluate the treatment compliance and the need for physical therapy visits. The no-PCT group received the standard LE care, whereas the PCT group received the standard LE care plus a new-generation pneumatic compression device.</p> Results: A total of 69 patients were enrolled in this study. The PCT group had 50 patients and no-PCT group had 19 patients. The PCT group had median 58.5 months of LE symptoms, while non-PCT patients had median 23 months of LE symptoms (p = 0.11). Infection rates decreased by 32% and hospitalizations due to infection decreased by 14% after PCT treatment had been initiated. Physical therapy needs decreased by 24% after PCT use. At median 18 months, follow-up compliance for PCT was 84%, but compliance for manual lymphatic drainage was almost half (53%) in no-PCT group.</p> Conclusions: PCT leads to a decrease in infection rate, hospital admissions, and physical therapy (PT) visits in clinically significant LEL. Although there is no cost calculation in this study, it can be correlated to significant cost savings due to a reduction of infection and hospitalization and the need for PT visits. Adoption of PCT offers a superior value proposition to not only patients but also the health care system. Cost analysis should be followed.</p>

    Lymphedema After Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy: Who Is at Risk?
    (Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., 2021) Işık, Arda; Soran, Atilla; Grasi, Ariel; Barry, Noran; Sezgin, Efe
    Aim: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the accepted approach to stage the clinically negative axilla. The incidence of lymphedema (LE) after SLNB is about 5%. We hypothesize that patients undergoing axillary excision of >5 lymph nodes (LNs) are at increased risk of developing LE. Methods and Results: A single institution prospective breast cancer database was retrospectively reviewed from January 2013 to December 2017, to identify patients who underwent SLNB and were diagnosed with LE. Inclusion criteria was (1) de novo breast cancer, (2) SLNB in clinically node negative patients, and (3) no preoperative diagnosis LE of an extremity. Exclusion criteria was history of axillary lymph node dissection. Age, body mass index, tumor-node-metastasis status, surgery type, neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormone therapy were analyzed. Of the 3325 patients identified, 2940 patients met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. Median follow-up time was 24 months. Forty-seven (2%) patients were diagnosed with LE, and nine patients (19%) had >5 LNs excised. LE was diagnosed in 3.7% of patients who had >5 LNs excised versus 1.4% of patients with <= 5 LNs excised. Incidence of LE was higher in patients with >5 LNs excision (p = 0.006). Conclusion: Our study showed that patients have a higher likelihood of developing LE when >5 LNs are excised.

    The Effect of Primary Surgery in Patients With De Novo Stage Iv Breast Cancer With Bone Metastasis Only (protocol Bomet Mf 14-01): a Multi-Center, Prospective Registry Study
    (Springer, 2021) Soran, Atilla; Doğan, Lütfi; Işık, Arda; Özbaş, Serdar; Trabulus, Didem Can; Demirci, Umut; Sezgin, Efe
    Background More evidence shows that primary surgery for de novo metastatic breast cancer (BC) prolongs overall survival (OS) in selected cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of locoregional treatment (LRT) in BC patients with de novo stage IV bone only metastasis (BOM). Methods The prospective, multicenter registry study BOMET MF14-01 was initiated in May 2014. Patients with de novo stage IV BOM BC were divided into two groups: those receiving systemic treatment (ST group) and those receiving LRT (LRT group). Patients who received LRT were further divided into two groups: ST after LRT (LRT + ST group) and ST before LRT (ST + LRT group). Results We included 505 patients in this study; 240 (47.5%) patients in the ST group and 265 (52.5%) in the LRT group. One hundred and thirteen patients (26.3%) died in the 34-month median follow-up, 85 (35.4%) in the ST group and 28 (10.5%) in LRT group. Local progression was observed in 39 (16.2%) of the patients in the ST group and 18 (6.7%) in the LRT group (p = 0.001). Hazard of death was 60% lower in the LRT group compared with the ST group (HR 0.40, 95% CI 0.30-0.54, p < 0.0001). Conclusion In this prospectively maintained registry study, we found that LRT prolonged survival and decreased locoregional recurrence in the median 3-year follow-up. Timing of primary breast surgery either at diagnosis or after ST provided a survival benefit similar to ST alone in de novo stage IV BOM BC patients.

    Dear Editor, We’d like to thank Drs. Ishizuka and Horimoto for their letter to the editor. We’re glad to see their interest to our prospective study. Regarding their recommendation that univariate Kaplan–Meier analysis does not eliminate confounding factors, such as age, tumor size, number of bone metastasis, etc., we employed propensity score methods for the results, including Fig. 1.

    Primary Surgery With Systemic Therapy in Patients With De Novo Stage Iv Breast Cancer: 10-Year Follow-Up; Protocol Mf07-01 Randomized Clinical Trial
    (Elsevier, 2021) Soran, Atilla; Özmen, Vahit; Özbaş, Serdar; Karanlık, Hasan; Müslümanoğlu, Mahmut; İğci, Abdullah; Cantürk, Nuh Zafer; Utkan, Zafer; Evrensel, Türkkan; Sezgin, Efe
    Background: The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the overall survival (OS) data of patients diagnosed with de novo stage IV breast cancer (BC) who received locoregional treatment (LRT) over a 10-year follow-up. Study Design: The MF07-01 is a 1:1 multicenter, randomized clinical trial comparing the LRT with systemic therapy (ST), where ST was given to all patients either immediately after randomization or after surgical resection of the intact primary tumor. Results: A total of 278 patients were randomized and 265 patients were in the final analysis. At 10-year follow-up, survivals were 19% (95% CI 13%–28%) and 5% (95% CI 2%–12%) in the LRT group and ST group, respectively. Median survival was 46 months for the LRT group and 35 months for the ST group, and hazard of death was 29% lower in the LRT group compared with the ST group (hazard ratio [HR] 0.71; 95% CI 0.59–0.86; p = 0.0003). Conclusions: Patients with a diagnosis of de novo stage IV BC who underwent LRT followed by ST had a 14% higher chance of OS by the end of the 10-year follow-up compared with the patients who received only ST. The longer study follow-up revealed that LRT should be presented to patients when discussing treatment options. © 2021 American College of Surgeons
