    OBJECTIVE To compare the tumor characteristics, treatment approaches, recurrence patterns and survival results rates of young and elderly patients with breast cancer. METHODS In this study, Between between 2000-2013, a total of 779 patients were treated for breast cancer at nine radiation oncology departments were evaluated retrospectively. Three-hundred eight four of these patients were young (<= 35 years), and 395 of those the patients were elderly (>= 70 years). RESULTS Young patients were more likely to present with aggressive tumor features. They were more often received comprehensive lymphatic irradiation, tumor bed boost and intense chemotherapy. No difference was found for 5 and 10-year loco-regional recurrence- free survival rates were (96% and 93% for young, 97% and 97% for elderly). The 5 and 10-year distant recurrence- free survival rates were lower in the young patients (77% and 67% for young, 85% and 85% for elderly, p<0.0001). No difference was found in 5 and 10-year breast cancer- specific survival (91% and 79% for young, 92% and 87% for elderly). The 5 and 10-year overall survival rates were higher in the young patients (92% and 78% for young, 78% and 63% for elderly, p<0.0001). CONCLUSION The reason for the similarity between the age groups in terms ofregarding loco-regional recurrence- free survival can be more comprehensive lymphatic irradiation and tumor bed boost, the young patients received. The distant recurrence- free survival rates rates were significantly lower in the young patients even though they received more intensive chemotherapy. Future studies aimed at more effective systemic regimens to decrease distant recurrence in young patients are warranted.

    Radiotherapy After Skin-Sparing Mastectomy and Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction
    (2019) Sari, Sezin Yuce; Guler, Ozan Cem; Gultekin, Melis; Yildirim, Berna Akkus; Onal, Cem; Ozyigit, Gokhan; Yildiz, Ferah; 0000-0001-6908-3412; 31255547; AAC-5654-2020
    We aimed to evaluate the cosmetic results of radiotherapy in 170 breast cancer patients after implant-based reconstruction. Cosmetic results were excellent or fair in most patients after radiotherapy. However, bolus use, lymphatic irradiation, and the volume receiving at least 110% of the prescribed dose being >1% significantly deteriorated the outcomes. Introduction: We evaluated the cosmetic results of radiotherapy (RT) after implant-based reconstruction (IBR). Patients and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 170 patients with 171 breast cancers treated between December 2004 and January 2016 in 2 university hospitals. RT fields were reconstructed breast (RB) only in 24 (14%), and RB and regional lymphatics in 147 (86%) breasts, respectively. All but 1 patient received a total 50 Gy with conventional fractionation. All patients received systemic chemotherapy. One hundred thirty-eight (81%) patients received hormonal therapy; 118 tamoxifen and 20 aromatase inhibitor. Results: Median follow-up time was 46.8 months (range, 1-163 months). The 5-year disease-free and overall survival rate was 83% and 93%, respectively. Cosmetic results were considered excellent in 111 (65%), fair in 46 (27%), and bad in 14 (8%) RB by patients. Thirty-four (20%) RB had restorative surgery; because of surgeons' preference because of implant natural life time span in 5, and contracture, fibrosis, deformation, or dislocation of the implant, or cellulitis in the remaining. Statistically significant adverse factors in univariate analysis for impaired cosmetic outcome were bolus use on the RB, lymphatic irradiation, and volume that received at least 110% of the prescribed dose being >1%. The use of bolus material was the only prognostic factor for deterioration of the cosmetic result in multivariate analysis. Conclusion: RT after IBR yields acceptable cosmetic results. Although only 111 (65%) of RBs were considered to have excellent cosmetic results, only a small percentage of patients needed reoperation because of bad cosmetic outcome. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc.
