Gutowski, Karol A. M.D.; ASPS Fat Graft Task Force;
Current Applications and Safety of Autologous Fat Grafts: A Report of the ASPS Fat Graft Task Force
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. 124(1):272-280, July 2009.
Abstract
Task Force Statement: In 2007, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons formed a task force to conduct an assessment regarding the safety and efficacy of autologous fat grafting, specifically to the breast, and to make recommendations for future research. The task force formulated specific issues regarding fat grafting and then compiled them to focus on five broad-based questions:1. What are the current and potential applications of fat grafting (specifically breast indications, and if data are available, other cosmetic and reconstructive applications)?2. What risks and complications are associated with fat grafting?3. How does technique affect outcomes, including safety and efficacy, of fat grafting?4. What risk factors need to be considered for patient selection at this level of invasiveness?5. What advancements in bench research/molecular biology potentially impact current or future methods of fat grafting?To answer these questions, the task force reviewed the scientific literature, critically appraised the information available, and developed evidence-based practice recommendations. Although the primary issue of interest was fat grafting to the breast, other aspects of fat grafting were evaluated.(C)2009American Society of Plastic Surgeons

Abstract
Background: The debate over nipple-sparing mastectomy continues to evolve. Over the past several years, it has become more widely accepted, especially in the setting of prophylactic mastectomy, but its role in the treatment of breast cancer has only recently been reexamined.Methods: Two indications for the procedure are discussed: prophylactic, for the high-risk patient; and the more controversial topic, therapeutic nipple-sparing mastectomy, for the patient with breast cancer. A review of the literature suggests that certain breast cancers may be amenable to retaining the nipple if they meet specific oncologic criteria: tumor size 3 cm or less, at least 2 cm from the nipple, not multicentric, and with clinically negative nodes. Moreover, newer technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging and preoperative mammotome biopsy may make the procedure even safer in this setting. Practical and technical aspects of the procedure are discussed, including patient selection.Results: The accumulating data from multiple series of nipple-sparing mastectomy show that properly screened patients have a low risk of local cancer recurrence, that recurrences occur rarely in the nipple, and that recurrences in the nipple can be managed by removing the nipple.Conclusions: Despite continued controversy and the need for more long-term outcome data, nipple-sparing mastectomy is a procedure that is gaining increasing visibility and acceptance. Provided that certain oncologic and practical criteria are applied, it has the potential for allowing less invasive surgery and improved cosmetic outcomes without increased oncologic risk in appropriately selected patients.(C)2009American Society of Plastic Surgeons

NICE guidance

Endoscopic mastectomy and endoscopic wide local excision for breast cancer
Guidance issued
Number: IPG296
Summary:
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued full guidance to the NHS in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on endoscopic mastectomy and endoscopic wide local excision for breast cancer.
Description:
Treatment for early breast cancer usually involves surgery to remove all or part of the breast. In this keyhole procedure, part or all of the breast tissue is removed using special instruments inserted through small skin incisions. The skin envelope of the breast and nipple are left intact, ready for an implant that can be inserted during the same operation.

Familial breast cancer - NICE

Familial breast cancer
NICE guideline October 2006
Summary
The NICE clinical guideline on familial breast cancer covers the care of adult women who may be at increased risk of developing breast cancer because of a family history of breast or other cancers.
It does not specifically look at: women who have already been diagnosed with breast cancer or men, but the recommendations may be relevant to some men because, although rarer than in women, men may get breast cancer and this may run in families.
This guideline is an update of advice on familial breast cancer that NICE produced in 2004. The advice on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for breast cancer screening has changed, but all the other advice is the same.

Shaping the Breast in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Breast Surgery: An Easy Three-Step Principle
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. 123(2):455-462, February 2009.
Abstract
Creating or recreating an aesthetically pleasing breast shape in reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery is an act that most experienced "breast" surgeons will find self-evident. We propose a simple three-step philosophical and hands-on approach that will make it easier for young and unexperienced plastic surgeons to not only analyze the problematic breast but also come up with an easy surgical strategy to create reproducible results.This is Part I of four parts describing the three-step principle being applied in reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery. Part I explains how to analyze a problematic breast by understanding the three main anatomical features of a breast and how they interact: the footprint, the conus of the breast, and the skin envelope. Part II deals with reconstructions after complete mastectomy and Part III covers reconstruction after breast conservation surgery. Finally, Part IV applies the same principles in the field of aesthetic breast surgery. Throughout these four parts, the three-step principle will be the red line to fall back on to define the problem and to propose a solution.(C)2009American Society of Plastic Surgeons

Total Skin-Sparing Mastectomy: Complications and Local Recurrence Rates in 2 Cohorts of Patients
Elisabeth R. Garwood, BS; Dan Moore, PhD; Cheryl Ewing, MD; E Shelley Hwang, MD; Michael Alvarado et al
Abstract
Purpose: Dissemination of the total skin-sparing mastectomy (TSSM) technique is limited by concerns of nipple viability, flap necrosis, local recurrence risk, and the technical challenge of this procedure. We sought to define the impact of surgical and reconstructive variables on complication rates and assess how changes in technique affect outcomes.
Patients and Methods: We compared the outcomes of TSSM in 2 cohorts of patients. Cohort 1: the first 64 TSSM procedures performed at our institution, between 2001 and 2005. Cohort 2: 106 TSSM performed between 2005 and 2007. Outcomes of cohort 1 were analyzed in 2005. At that time, potential risk factors for complications were identified, and efforts to minimize these risks by altering operative and reconstructive technique were then applied to patients in cohort 2. The impact of these changes on outcomes was assessed. Logistic regression was used to determine the association between predictor variables and adverse outcomes (Stata 10).
Results: The predominant incision type in cohort 2 involved less than a third of the nipple areola complex (NAC), and the most frequent reconstruction technique was tissue expander placement. Between cohort 1 and cohort 2, nipple survival rates rose from 80% to 95% (P = 0.003) and complication rates declined: necrotic complications (30% -> 13%; P = 0.01), implant loss (31% -> 10%; P = 0.005), skin flap necrosis (16%-11%; not significant), and significant infections (17%-9%, not significant). Incisions involving >30% of the NAC (P < 0.001) and reconstruction with autologous tissue (P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for necrotic complications. The local recurrence rate was 0.6% at a median follow-up of 13 months (range, 1-65), with no recurrences in the NAC.
Conclusion: Focused improvement in technique has resulted in the development of TSSM as a successful intervention at our institution that is oncologically safe with high nipple viability and early low rates of recurrence. Identifying factors that contribute to complications and changing surgical and reconstructive techniques to eliminate risk factors has greatly improved outcomes.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the oncological safety of breast conserving surgery (BCS) for patients with multifocal breast cancer.
Summary Background Data: Few studies have reported about BCS for multifocal breast cancer. BCS for multifocal cancer has a risk of local failure in previous reports, whereas recent studies reported the feasibility of BCS. However, because all studies have dealt with a small number of patients, multifocal breast cancer is still considered a relative contraindication for BCS.
Methods: This retrospective study includes 478 patients with multifocal breast cancer who underwent BCS or mastectomy and 930 with unifocal cancer who underwent BCS for stage 0-II. Multifocal cancer was defined as 2 or more distinct cancers in the same quadrant. Of 478 patients, 147 underwent BCS and 331 underwent mastectomy. We compared the local recurrence rate (LRR), disease free survival, and overall survival for BCS with mastectomy for multifocal cancer. In addition, the LRR of BCS for multifocal cancer was compared for unifocal cancer.
Results: There is no significant difference in stage distribution and other clinical and pathologic characteristics except Her-2/neu for stage IIA between BCS and mastectomy for multifocal caner. The mean follow-up period was 59.33 months (range, 1.00-177.20) for breast conserving group and 64.98 months (range, 6.23-196.03) for mastectomy group. The 5-year overall survival was 93.38% for BCS and 94.53% for mastectomy (log rank P = 0.208). The 5-year disease-free survival was 89.08% for BCS and 91.88% for mastectomy (log rank P = 0.451). The local failure occurred in 3 (2.0%) of 147 patient underwent BCS, 3 (0.9%) of 331 patients underwent mastectomy (P = 0.378). Compared with BCS for unifocal cancer patients, the LRR of patients with multifocal cancer was not statistically different (2.0% for multifocal, 1.3% for unifocal; P = 0.445).
Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that BCS for multifocal breast cancer is oncologically safe in selected patients.
