Abstract
Liposarcoma is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas that occurs in adults and is currently divided into five main subgroups: well-differentiated, myxoid, round cell, pleomorphic, and dedifferentiated. Primary mesenteric liposarcoma is extremely rare, and the treatment strategy is surgical resection with a wide free margin, often followed by radiation and adjuvant chemotherapy if distant metastasis is not detected. A 73-year-old male patient presented with lower abdominal distension. Abdominal CT scan revealed a large homogeneously enhancing mass lesion abutting the sigmoid colon and urinary bladder. At laparotomy, the solid mass measured 28×26×12 cm in size, was well-demarcated, and originated from the mesentery of the middle ileum. It was removed along with some small intestine (ileocecal valve upper 50-150 cm) and ileal mesentery because of adhesion. Histologically, the tumor proved to be pleomorphic liposarcoma. The patient did not undergo any adjuvant treatment following surgery, but he remains disease free until 33 months after surgery. Herein, we report a case of pleomorphic liposarcoma arising from small bowel mesentery.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Western studies have demonstrated high breast density as a strong risk factor for breast cancer, it is poorly understood whether breast density affects the diverse phenotypes of breast cancer. We examined the association between various tumor characteristics and mammographic breast density in women with breast cancer.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis in 910 Korean women diagnosed with breast cancer to evaluate the associations between breast density and tumor size, lymph node status, lymphovascular invasion, histologic grade, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, HER2. Breast density was classified as fatty (percent density less than 50% by a computer-assisted thresholding program, named “Cumulus™”; n = 470) or dense (percent density 50% or more; n = 440) for the cancer-free breast at the time of operation. Logistic regression was used to examine whether the relationships were modified by adjustment for body mass index, age at diagnosis, age at first birth, menopausal status, history of breast-feeding, and breast cancer staging.
Results: Total 910 patients were involved, the mean age and median age at the operation was 48 years old (range 20–82), and the mean percent density was 48.09 (SD = 9.62 %: normally distributed, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test p = 0.32). Crude analysis shows that tumor size over than 0.5cm were more likely to have dense breasts compared with women with a tumor size <=0.5 cm (OR = 3.21, 95% CI = 1.59–6.45, p = 0.001 for tumor sizes 0.6–1.0cm; OR = 2.02, 95% CI = 1.09–3.74, p = 0.03 for tumor sizes 1.1–1.5cm; OR = 1.8, 95% CI = 0.97–3.33, p = 0.06 for tumor sizes 1.6–2.0cm; and OR = 1.64, 95% CI = 0.92–2.94, p = 0.1 for tumor sizes 2.1cm or more). PD and histologic grade shows reverse association between histologic grade 1 and grade 2,3. Progesteron receptor positive patients tend to have more dense(OR = 1.27, 95% CI=0.97–1.66, p = 0.07) breast than receptor negative patients, although after adjustment of age the statistical significant disappeared. Percent density was not significantly associated with, ER (p = 0.74), HER2 (p = 0.72).
Conclusion: These results suggest that breast density is associated with tumor size and histologic grade and progesterone receptor positivity. Additional studies are needed to address whether these associations are due to just density masking the detection of some tumors, biological causation, or both.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased breast cancer risk and decreased breast cancer survival. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of breast cancer adjuvant treatment to the vitamin D status, as measured by the serum hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) in breast cancer patients.
Patients and Methods: For 589 patients who was diagnosed as a non metastatic breast cancer in 2009 at the asan medical center, blood was prospectively analyzed in batches for serum 25 OHD level at basal and at 6 and 12month. We excluded the patients who took a vitamin D supplementation and got a neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Vitamin D sufficiency was defined as serum as 30ng/ml or greater, insufficiency as 20 to 29 ng/ml and insufficiency as less than 20ng/ml.
Results: At baseline, mean serum 25OHD was greater in summer (April to Oct) than Winter(Nov to May) (28.2ng/ml vs 32.9ng/ml respectively, p=0.000). The patients who did not get a chemotherapy and antihormonal therapy as baseline, the patient with chemotherapy showed decreased serum 25OHD level than who without chemotherapy in 6 month but not in 12 month (p=0.003, vs p=0.156 respectively). The patients who had taken anti-hormonal therapy showed significant increasing serum 25OHD in 6 month and 12 months (p=0.000 both). For the patients who got both chemotherapy and anti-hormonal therapy, the changes of serum 25OHD level is smaller than the patients who got a chemotherapy only.
For the patients who got a chemotherapy, 57% of patients were vitamin D sufficient at baseline, but 27% of patients in 6 month and 49% in 12 month (p=0.001).
Conclusion: Vitamin D status was worsen during chemotherapy but recovered after chemotherapy. Anti hormonal therapy make the serum vitamin D level increased. The translational research about the effect of chemotherapy and anti-hormonal therapy to the vitamin D status should be warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hormone receptor-positive, pre-menopausal breast cancer patients can be treated by chemotherapy and/or ovarian suppression therapy. We reported our experience of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue plus tamoxifen (GnRHa+T) or adriamycin and cyclophosphamide (AC) followed by tamoxifen (AC-->T) in pre-menopausal women with hormone-response, node-negative breast cancer. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 587 pre-menopausal women with hormone-responsive, node-negative breast cancer. Of these, 269 were treated with adriamycin and cyclophosphamide (AC) followed by tamoxifen (AC-->T), and 318 were treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue plus tamoxifen (GnRHa+T). Among them, 151 patients were treated by goserelin acetate 3.6 mg/kg and 125 patients were treated by leuprorelin acetate 3.75 mg/kg every 28 days subcutaneously. FINDINGS At a median follow-up time of 30 months, eight patients had relapsed and three had died. DFS did not differ between the AC-->T and GnRHa+T groups. Of the three deaths, two were not related to breast cancer. The third patient, in the AC-->T group, died because of brain metastasis. GnRHa+T treatment had no effect on blood profile and did not cause the development of detrimental symptoms but decreased bone mineral density. The efficacy of leuprorelin was similar to that of goserelin. INTERPRETATION GnRHa+T treatment can be an alternative treatment option in pre-menopausal women with endocrine-responsive, node-negative, breast cancer patients. The efficacy and tolerability of leuprorelin were similar to that of goserelin.
