LCIS
Multicentric in 90% of specimens Bilateral in 35-59% cases 10% Invasive ca has associated LCIS.
Must at diagnosis: Bilateral Mammogram Pathology Review
Importance of Mammogram: LCIS: A marker for increased risk for
subsequent development of invasive (usually ductal carcinoma)

Surgical Excision Biopsy is must to proceed for management.
Management is done according to associated DCIS or Invasive Ca disregarding the presence of LCIS.
If margins are positive for LCIS, additional surgery to obtain clear margins for LCIS is not required.

LCIS AS SOLE HISTOLOGIC DX
Most widely accepted approach: Close observation with mammographic surveillance
Patients with highest risk (Young; diffuse high grade lesion; Family history):

Rare entity: <5% of all Breast Ca cases; In fifth-sixth decade.
D/d: Eczema (B/L in Eczema) Palpable mass present in 50% cases
(Invasive Ca in 90%).
If no palpable mass, 66-86% underlying DCIS.

USUAL MANAGEMENT:

DCIS
Pure DCIS: No indication of Axillary dissection.
Apparent pure DCIS: Upto 25% cases turn out to be Invasive Ca in lumpectomy specimen.
Thus, if Mastectomy is performed: SLNB preferred.
If lumpectomy includes Axillary tail, SLNB preferred (as surgery compromises future SLNB in the rare event of associated Invasive Ca)

RECURRENCE
Recurrence is 50% DCIS and 50% Invasive Ca.
Risk Factors for Recurrence:1) Age <50yrs2) Palpable mass3) Close (<1mm) or involved margins4) High Grade5) Diameter >1cm6) Presence of Comedo Necrosis.

Whole Breast RT following lumpectomy reduces the recurrence rate by 50% in DCIS.

Patients without any high risk feature: Surgical Excision alone is sufficient.
Tamoxifen addition for 5 years (NSABP B-24 trial):
Reduces the recurrence rate by 3.4% (HR 0.30, p<0.001) in ipsilateral IBTR.
Absolute reduction in Contra lateral Breast Ca by 3.2% (HR 0.68, p=0.02).
Thus, Tamoxifen is added in ER+ DCIS after Lumpectomy and Radiation.

HER2 receptor than trastuzumab, allowing the combination to provide a more comprehensive blockade of HER2-driven signaling pathways.

PERTUZUMAB
The pCR rates were 39.3% in patients who received pertuzumab plus trastuzumab and docetaxel
and 21.5 % in patients who received trastuzumab plus docetaxel.
(adjusted p-value = 0.0063). The pCR rates and magnitude of
improvement with the addition of pertuzumab were lower in the subgroup of patients with hormone receptor-positive tumors compared to patients with hormone receptor-negative tumors.

BASELINE DOCUMENTATION OF “TARGET” AND “NON-TARGET” LESIONS
All measurable lesions up to a maximum of five lesions per organ and 10 lesions in total, representative of all involved organs should be identified as target lesions and recorded and measured at baseline.
Target lesions should be selected on the basis of their size (lesions with the longest diameter) and their suitability for accurate repeated measurements (either by imaging techniques or clinically).
Ach

a Tu
lsi Regio
nal C
ance
r Cente
r, B

A sum of the longest diameter (LD) for all target lesions will be calculated and reported as the baseline sum LD. The baseline sum LD will be used as reference by which to characterize the objective tumor response.
All other lesions should be identified as non-target lesions and should also be recorded at baseline. Measurements of these lesions are not required, but the presence or absence of each should be noted throughout follow-up.

EVALUATION OF TARGET LESIONS
Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions
Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD
Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started
Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions

TUMOR BED BOOST
Rationale: 65%-80% of breast recurrences after BCS + RT occur around the primary tumor site.
Clark et al. noted in 1,504 patients a greater incidence of failures at 10 years of 17% in those to whom no boost was delivered, compared with 11% in those who received doses of 5 to 15 Gy at the primary excision site (P = .03)

Currently, most institutions prefer electron beam boost because
of its relative ease in setup, outpatient setting, lower cost, decreased time demands on the physician, and excellent results compared with 192Ir

EORTC TRIAL

Randomly assigned to receive either no further local treatment (2,657 patients) or a boost of 16 Gy, usually given in 8 fractions by electron beam (2,661 patients).
The 5-year actuarial rates of local recurrence were 7.3% and 4.3%, respectively (P <.001).
