Trends of axillary surgery in breast cancer patients with axillary lymph node metastasis: a comprehensive single-center retrospective study. Ann. Surg. Treat. Res. (IF 1.4) Pub Date : 2023-07-04 Yeon Jin Kim, Hye Jin Kim, Soo Yeon Chung, Se Kyung Lee, Byung Joo Chae, Jonghan Yu, Jeong Eon Lee, Seok Won Kim, Seok Jin Nam, Jai Min Ryu
Based on the results of previous trials, de-escalation of axillary surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has increased in patients with axillary lymph node (ALN) metastasis at presentation. This study aimed to review the trends of axillary surgery by time period and molecular subtype in patients with ALN metastasis.

Recurrence in patients with totally necrotic nodules of hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation: "totally" an inaccurate description. Ann. Surg. Treat. Res. (IF 1.4) Pub Date : 2023-07-04 Jiyoung Kim, Suk Kyun Hong, Jae-Yoon Kim, Jaewon Lee, Hyun Hwa Choi, Sola Lee, Su Young Hong, Jeong-Moo Lee, YoungRok Choi, Nam-Joon Yi, Kwang-Woong Lee, Kyung-Suk Suh
Total necrosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) achieved via locoregional treatment (LRT) is considered to indicate a lack of tumor viability. Nonetheless, there is insufficient evidence of recurrence after liver transplantation (LT) in patients with such a status. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognosis of patients diagnosed with totally necrotic nodules upon explant hepatectomy after

Survival analysis of breast cancer patients after diagnosis of second primary malignancies, focusing on the second primary hematologic malignancy. Ann. Surg. Treat. Res. (IF 1.4) Pub Date : 2023-07-04 Hyung Jin Kim, Juhyeon Lee, In-Chul Park, Yireh Han, Min-Ki Seong, Woo Chul Noh, Hye Jin Kang, Hyun-Ah Kim, Chan Sub Park
Although the overall survival (OS) of breast cancer patients is increasing with improved detection and therapies, so is the risk of breast cancer patients developing subsequent malignancies. We investigated the OS of breast cancer survivors according to sites of second primary malignancies (SPM). The OS of the second primary hematologic malignancy (SPHM) was then compared with that of metastatic breast

Can chemotherapy be omitted for patients with N0 or N1 endocrine-sensitive breast cancer treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and tamoxifen? Ann. Surg. Treat. Res. (IF 1.4) Pub Date : 2023-07-04 Juhyeon Lee, Chan Sub Park, Jeong Hun Oh, In-Chul Park, Min-Ki Seong, Woo Chul Noh, Hyun-Ah Kim
Whether administering chemotherapy followed by tamoxifen plus a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist to treat patients with lower-risk hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer provides a greater benefit than administering tamoxifen plus GnRH agonist alone remains unclear. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of propensity score-matched
