Racial-ethnic variations in phyllodes tumors among a multicenter United States cohort. J Surg Oncol 2023; 127:369-373. [PMID: 36206024 PMCID: PMC9892174 DOI: 10.1002/jso.27117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2022] [Revised: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 09/23/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Previous studies have identified racial-ethnic differences in the diagnostic patterns and recurrence outcomes of women with phyllodes tumors (PT). However, these studies are generally limited in size and generalizability. We therefore sought to explore racial-ethnic differences in age, tumor size, subtype, and recurrence in a large US cohort of women with PT. METHODS We performed an 11-institution retrospective review of women with PT from 2007 to 2017. Differences in age at diagnosis, tumor size and subtype, and recurrence-free survival according to race-ethnicity. RESULTS Women of non-White race or Hispanic ethnicity were younger at the time of diagnosis with phyllodes tumor. Non-Hispanic Other women had a larger proportion of malignant PT. There were no differences in recurrence-free survival in our cohort. CONCLUSIONS Differences in age, tumor size, and subtype were small. Therefore, the workup of young women with breast masses and the treatment of women with PT should not differ according to race-ethnicity. These conclusions are supported by our finding that there were no differences in recurrence-free survival.

Margin Status and Local Recurrence in Phyllodes Tumours of the Breast: A Canadian Series. Ann Surg Oncol 2023; 30:1700-1709. [PMID: 36456792 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-022-12894-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Phyllodes tumours of the breast are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms with a propensity for recurrence. While surgical excision remains the standard of care, the optimal margin width is an area of active investigation. Recent studies have questioned the necessity for wide, local excision. METHODS We conducted a retrospective, cohort study of patients with phyllodes tumours treated at our institution between 2003 and 2021. Demographic, histopathological, and recurrence data were captured; malignant phyllodes were excluded. Cox proportional hazard models were used to identify covariates associated with local recurrence. RESULTS Of 187 patients with phyllodes tumours, 82.9% (n = 155) were classified as benign while 17.1% (n = 32) were borderline. Initial surgical margins were positive in 26.2% (n = 49), < 2 mm in 50.8% (n = 95), and ≥ 2 mm in 23% (n = 43) patients. Among patients with positive margins, 61.2% (n = 30) underwent margin revision. At a median follow-up of 2.9 years, the recurrence rate was 3.7%. On univariate analysis, only a positive margin at the time of initial surgery and not margin width was significantly associated with a higher rate of disease recurrence (hazard ratio [HR] 9.52, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.85-49.2), as was a size greater than 4 cm on preoperative imaging (HR 10.78, 95% CI 0.97-120.1). Revision of an initially positive margin was not significantly associated with decreased local recurrence (p = 1). CONCLUSIONS In this large cohort of benign and borderline phyllodes tumours, positive resection margins and not margin width at the initial surgery were associated with a increased recurrence. Individualization of decisions regarding margin reexcision is important.

Disparities in the Management of Pediatric Breast Masses. J Surg Res 2022; 279:648-656. [PMID: 35932719 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2022.06.049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 06/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Disparities in surgical management have been documented across a range of disease processes. The objective of this study was to investigate sociodemographic disparities in young females undergoing excision of a breast mass. METHODS A retrospective study of females aged 10-21 y who underwent surgery for a breast lesion across eleven pediatric hospitals from 2011 to 2016 was performed. Differences in patient characteristics, workup, management, and pathology by race/ethnicity, insurance status, median neighborhood income, and urbanicity were evaluated with bivariate and multivariable regression analyses. RESULTS A total of 454 females were included, with a median age of 16 y interquartile range (IQR: 3). 44% of patients were nonHispanic (NH) Black, 40% were NH White, and 7% were Hispanic. 50% of patients had private insurance, 39% had public insurance, and 9% had other/unknown insurance status. Median neighborhood income was $49,974, and 88% of patients resided in a metropolitan area. NH Whites have 4.5 times the odds of undergoing preoperative fine needle aspiration or core needle biopsy compared to NH Blacks (CI: 2.0, 10.0). No differences in time to surgery from the initial imaging study, size of the lesion, or pathology were observed on multivariable analysis. CONCLUSIONS We found no significant differences by race/ethnicity, insurance status, household income, or urbanicity in the time to surgery after the initial imaging study. The only significant disparity noted on multivariable analysis was NH White patients were more likely to undergo preoperative biopsy than were NH Black patients; however, the utility of biopsy in pediatric breast masses is not well established.
