Cosmetic outcomes and rate of implant loss are poorly characterized among patients with breast cancer with previous breast augmentation (BA) who undergo breast-conservation therapy (BCT). Here we determine capsular contracture and implant loss frequency after BCT among patients receiving contemporary whole-breast radiation therapy (RT).
Patients with breast cancer with a history of BA presenting to our institution from January 2006 to January 2017 who elected for BCT were included. Seventy-one breast cancers in 70 patients with a history of BA electing for BCT were retrospectively identified. Clinicopathologic, treatment, and outcome variables were examined. Whole-breast RT included conventional and hypofractionated schedules with and without a boost. Rates of implant loss and cosmetic outcomes among patients who did and did not develop a new/worse contracture based on physician assessment were compared.
In the study, 54.9% of patients received radiation using hypofractionated whole-breast tangents; 81.7% received a boost. In addition, 18 out of 71 cases (25.4%) developed a new/worse contracture after BCT with a mean follow-up of 1.9 years. Furthermore, 9 out of 71 cases (12.7%) were referred to a plastic surgeon for revisional surgery. There were no implant-loss cases. On univariate analysis, implant location, time from implant placement to diagnosis, RT type, RT boost, body mass index, and tumor size were not associated with new/worse contracture. Of 12 patients with existing contracture, only 2 developed worsening contracture. Physician assessment of cosmetic outcome after BCT was noted to be excellent or good for 87.4% of patients.
BCT for breast cancer patients with prior history of BA has a low risk of implant loss. Hypofractionated RT does not adversely affect implant outcomes. Patients should be counseled regarding risk for capsular contracture, but the majority have good/excellent outcome; BA does not represent a contraindication to BCT.
在接受保乳治疗(BCT)的既往接受过乳房隆乳术(BA)的乳腺癌患者中,对美容结果和植入物丢失率的描述很差。在这里,我们确定在接受当代全乳放射治疗(RT)的患者中,BCT 后包膜挛缩和植入物丢失的频率。
纳入 2006 年 1 月至 2017 年 1 月期间在我院就诊的既往有 BA 病史并选择 BCT 的乳腺癌患者。回顾性识别了 70 名既往有 BA 病史并选择 BCT 的患者的 71 例乳腺癌。检查了临床病理、治疗和结局变量。全乳 RT 包括常规和分次剂量 RT,并结合或不结合局部加量照射。比较了根据医生评估出现新/更严重挛缩的患者和未出现新/更严重挛缩的患者的植入物丢失率和美容结果。
在这项研究中,54.9%的患者接受了全乳分次切线野的调强放射治疗;81.7%的患者接受了局部加量照射。此外,在 BCT 后 18 例(25.4%)出现新/更严重的挛缩,平均随访 1.9 年。此外,有 9 例(12.7%)患者因需要进行整形修复手术而转诊给整形外科医生。没有发生植入物丢失的病例。单因素分析显示,植入物位置、植入物放置至诊断的时间、RT 类型、RT 局部加量照射、体重指数和肿瘤大小与新/更严重的挛缩无关。在 12 例存在挛缩的患者中,只有 2 例出现挛缩加重。BCT 后医生评估美容效果为优秀或良好的患者比例为 87.4%。
对于既往有 BA 病史的乳腺癌患者,BCT 具有较低的植入物丢失风险。调强放疗不会对植入物的结果产生不利影响。应告知患者发生包膜挛缩的风险,但大多数患者的结果都很好/优秀;BA 并不代表 BCT 的禁忌症。
