Purpose: Few studies have reported ovarian cancer risks in Korean patients with the BRCA1/2 mutation. We investigated the prevalence of ovarian cancer in Korean women at high risk for hereditary breast-ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome and reviewed the clinicopathological factors of ovarian cancer. Methods: Female subjects who were enrolled in the Korean Hereditary Breast Cancer study were included.The questionnaire included a personal and family history of cancer. The BRCA1/2 mutation and CA-125 level were tested at the time of enrollment. A transvaginal ultrasonogram (TVUS) was recommended for subjects with an elevated CA-125 level. Results: A total of 1,689 patients were included.No ovarian cancer was newly diagnosed by CA-125 level or TVUS during the enrollment. The prevalence of ovarian cancer was 1.71% in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers and 0.39% in non-carriers. Among 11 patients with ovarian cancer, five had the BRCA1 mutation and one had the BRCA2 mutation. The most common histopathological type was serous cystadenocarcinoma.No difference in clinicopathological findings between BRCA1/2 mutation carriers and non-carriers was observed. Conclusion: The prevalence of ovarian cancer was 58-fold elevated in women at high-risk for HBOC syndrome and 146-fold elevated in the BRCA1 subgroup, compared with the Korean general population. Further investigation with a long-term follow-up is required to evaluate BRCA1/2 gene penetrance.

Whereas extramammary Paget’s disease commonly occurs in the apocrine gland rich skin areas, ectopic extramammary Paget’s disease develops in the skin areas that are devoid of apocrine glands. We experienced the case of a 34 yearold female patient who had a skin lesion in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast for 5 years and that lesion was diagnosed as Paget’s disease according to the punch biopsy. There was no other underlying malignancy, and so wide excision was performed. The final pathologic diagnosis was Paget’s disease confined to the epidermis and the size of the tumor was 3.0×1.1 cm. Positive staining for cytokeratin 7, epithelial membrane antigen and negative staining for S-100 protein and HMB-45 was observed on the immunohistochemical tests. We report here on an extremely unusual case of ectopic extramammary Paget’s disease of the breast skin, and we include a review of the relevant literature.

Among many adverse effects of docetaxel, fluid retention is a well recognized, cumulative side effect, but severe fluid retention is rare. We report here on a case of docetaxelinduced severe fluid retention with peripheral edema, pleural effusion, severe ascites and pericardial effusion in a 41-yearold woman. She had been treated with 3 cycles of docetaxel 9 days previously and she was admitted to our hospital due to abdominal distention and mild dyspnea. Radiologic studies revealed pleural effusion, severe ascites and a small pericardial effusion. Diuretics were given for 21 days. The pleural effusion was resolved after treatment with diuretics for 2 days, but the ascites wasn’t resolved until 14 days of diuretics. After treatment with diuretics for 21 days, all the symptoms of the patient were completely resolved. Early detection is mandatory and diuretics are very effective for patient suffering with docetaxel-induced severe fluid retention.

Purpose: The main treatment for stage IV breast cancer is currently systemic therapy. Surgical resection of the primary tumor is usually done for treating the tumor-related complications. Recent studies have suggested that surgery may improve the long-term survival of stage IV breast cancer patients. We evaluated the impact of the primary surgical resection site on the survival of stage IV breast cancer patients. Methods: We reviewed the records of the stage IV breast cancer patients who were treated at Seoul University Hospital between April 1992 and December 2007. The tumor and clinical characteristics, the type of treatments and the overall survival were compared between the surgically versus nonsurgically treated patients. Results: Of the 198 identified patients, 110 (55.8%) received surgical excision of their primary tumor and 88 (44.2%) did not. The mean survival was 67 months vs. 42 months for the surgically treated patients vs. the patients without surgery, respectively (p=0.0287). On a multivariate analysis with using the Cox model and after adjusting for the estrogen receptor status, visceral metastases, the number of metastatic sites and trastuzumab treatment, surgery was an independent factor for improved survival (hazard ratio, 0.55; 95% confidence interval, 0.31-0.97; p=0.041). Conclusion: Surgical resection of the primary tumor in stage IV breast cancer patients was independently associated with improved survival. Randomized prospective trials are needed to firmly recommend surgical resection of the primary tumor in stage IV breast cancer patients.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the use of toremifene as an adjuvant hormonal therapy for estrogen recepter (ER) positive early breast cancer patients in terms of therapeutic efficacy and effect on endometrium as compared with tamoxifen. Methods: Between January 2001 and December 2003, 451 patients with stage 0, I and II breast cancer, received adjuvant hormone therapy that consisted of either tamoxifen (N=387) or toremifene (N=64). The recurrence rate and survival rate were compared between two groups and the incidence of of endometrial event was evaluated in 273 of the patients. Results: The median follow up period was 57 months and the median hormonal therapy period was 51 months. During the follow up period, there were 3 (2.0%) recurrence in the stage I tamoxifen group, 19 recurrences (8.7%) and 3 deaths (1.4%) in the stage II tamoxifen group (n=219), however there were no instances of recurrence or death in all of the toremifene group. In addition, endometrial cancer developed in 2 patients in the tamoxifen group, but in no patients in toremifene group during the follow up period. Further 21 of the patients who began treatment using tamoxifen changed to toremifene due to adverse side effects. The toremifene was well tolerated by 15 of the patients that changed treatment regimes. Conclusion: Toremifene was found to be as effective and safe as tamoxifen, when used as an adjuvant hormonal therapeutic agent in ER-positive early breast cancer, therefore toremifene may be a good option in place of tamoxifen for patients who are experiencing adverse effects as a result of tamoxifen treatment.

Purpose: Little is known about long term results of nippleareola preserving skin-sparing mastectomy (NASSM), and there are no such reports on this from South Korea. We studied 5 years follow up results of NASSM and skin sparing mastectomy (SSM) and compared clinical outcomes between NASSM and SSM. Methods: Two hundred two patients who underwent SSM (69 patients) or NASSM (133 patients) from September 1996 to December 2006 were included. Frozen section analysis of retroareolar resection margin was done to make the decision on preserving or not preserving nippleareolar complex (NAC). In the case of positive result on the frozen section, NAC was sacrificed. The local relapse (LR) rate and local relapse free survival (LFS) were analyzed for comparing between NASSM and SSM. Results: The mean age was 40.2 years (range, 24-65), the mean follow-up was 67.6 months. 52 NACs (25.7%) were involved by tumor cells. The invasion to the NAC by tumor cell was more common for invasive carcinoma with extensive intraductal component p<0.001), central located tumor (p=0.025) and invasive carcinoma with multiplicity (p=0.001). There were 12 cases (9.0%) of local relapse in NASSM group and 4 (5.8%) in SSM group, but there was no significant correlation for the LR rate (p>0.05). Regional or distant recurrence after surgical treatment for local relapse occurred in only one SSM case. Five years LFS rate of the NASSM group was 92.1% and that of the SSM group was 95.2%. There was no significant difference for the LFS (p>0.05). Conclusion: Our long term follow up study showed that NASSM and SSM are much alike for their LR rate and LFS. Even if relapse occurs in the NAC, this recurrence cannot affect the progression of relapse after adequate local treatment. Thus, NASSM is alternative method for SSM with oncological safety and better cosmetic outcome.

Purpose: The aims of this study were to evaluate the clinicopathologic characteristics and the prognosis of patients with estrogen receptor negative/progesterone receptor positive (ER-/PR+) breast cancer. Methods: One thousand five hundred seventy patients were stratified according to ER/PR phenotype and our study focused on the ER-/PR+ phenotype. The clinicopathologic characteristics and the prognosis of patients with the ER-/PR+ phenotype were compared with those of patients with ER+ (ER+/PR- or ER+/PR+) breast cancer. Results: The mean age at diagnosis was 47.1 years (range, 20-88) and the mean follow-up was 65.2 months. The horjmone receptor phenotype was ER-/PR+ in 75 cases (4.8%) and ER+ (ER+/PR+ or ER+/PR-) in 917 cases (58.4%). A patient age <50 (p=0.001), a high histologic grade (p=0.004) and C-erbB2 overexpression (p=0.006) were more frequent for the patients with the ER-/PR+ tumors. There was a significant difference between the two groups for the mean age (p<0.001). The 5 year and 10 year disease-free survival (DFS) rates of the ER-/PR+ group were 67.2% and 55.3%, respectively, and those of the ER+ group were 84.9% and 73.1%, respectively (p<0.001). The 5 year and 10 year overall survival (OS) of the ER-/PR+ group were 82.4% and 62.6%, respectively, and those of ER+ group were 93.4% and 83.3%, respectively (p=0.001). In the under 50 year old patients, the 5 year DFS and OS of the ER-/PR+ group were 67.5% and 85.8%, respectively, and those of ER+ group were 86.3% and 95.8%, respectively. There were significant differences between two groups for the DFS and OS (p<0.001). Conclusion: ER-/PR+ tumors have more aggressive clinicopathologic features than ER+ tumors. Furthermore, in the under 50 year old patients, ER-/PR+ tumors showed a worse prognosis than did the ER+ tumors. Consequently, treatment modality and the prognosis of the patients with ER-/PR+ tumors probably need to be altered from those of the patients with ER+ tumors.

Secondary acute leukemia is a rare and fatal complication after the treatment of breast cancer. Recently, we experienced 2 cases of acute leukemia that had developed during the follow-up period after adjuvant therapy of breast cancer. In addition, retrospective analysis of medical records of St. Mary’s hospital, the Catholic University of Korea, revealed another 5 cases of secondary leukemia following the treatment of breast cancer. Total 7 cases of secondary acute leukemia of breast cancer were reviewed and summarized according to their clinical characteristics. The mean age at diagnosis of primary breast cancer was 38.9 years (range, 16-49), and the average period from the completion of chemotherapy to the diagnosis of acute leukemia was 30.9 months (range, 11-40). The mean survival period of the 7 patients after diagnosis of leukemia was 4.6 months. Based on these findings, the risk of secondary leukemia following the treatment of breast should be considered in choosing chemotherapy and radiotherapy for the treatment of breast cancer especially in the young patients.

Purpose: This study is to review the initial 5-years of breast cancer management in a single hospital using the clinical data warehouse (CDW). Methods: We reviewed the electronic medical records of 754 patients with breast cancer who were treated by a single surgeon between June 2003and December 2007 in Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. We analyzed the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic profiles of the breast cancer patients which were encoded and stored at the CDW. Results: The mean age of the patients was 49.3 years and the peak incidence was in the fifth decade (36.6%). Symptomatic breast cancer was 74.6% and screening-detected breast cancer was 25.4%. Breast conserving surgery (BCS) was performed in 54.1% of all cases and the BCS rate increased annually. Immediate reconstruction after mastectomy was performed in 62 cases (17.7%). Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy for nodal staging was performed in 501 cases (72.1%) and 160 cases (23.0%) underwent complete axillary lymph node dissection. The proportion of in situ and early stage invasive breast cancer was 85.0%. Six hundred and ninety three patients (92.5%)received more than one adjuvant therapy. Thirty one patients experienced local or systemic relapse after surgery and ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) occurred in 6 cases. The median follow-up period was 29.5 months. Two-year and 3-year disease-free survival rates were 95.9% and 94.4%. Conclusion: BCS and SLN biopsy continuously increased and immediate reconstruction after mastectomy was performed widely. Most patients received more than one adjuvant therapy. Moreover, we saved the time and human power to review the medical record by using the CDW.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the incremental effectiveness (the differences in progression-free survival between treatments), the incremental cost and the incremental cost-effectiveness of Genexol-PM compared to Paclitaxel when these drugs were used as treatment for patients with metastatic breast cancer. Methods: In the absence of any comparative direct evidence of the relative efficacy of Paclitaxel and Genexol-PM in this setting, a meta-analysis was conducted to determine the effects of the Paclitaxel on the health outcome. The decision tree model was constructed to evaluate the two treatment regimens. All the costs are in 2008 Korean Won (KW) and they were evaluated according to the 3rd party payer perspective, and the direct nonmedical and indirect costs were excluded. Results: When compared with Paclitaxel, Genexol-PM was shown to increase the response rate and the time to progression for patients with metastatic breast cancer. Although the overall treatment costs of Genexol-PM were slightly higher than those of Paclitaxel, Genexol-PM was associated with a delayed time to progression of 4.78 months per patient. The incremental cost effectiveness ratio for Genexol-PM versus Paclitaxel was KW 2,295,228 per year gained, which is far below the per capita GDP or the threshold of the willingness-to-pay in Korea. Conclusion: Compared with Paclitaxel, Genexol-PM for treating metastatic breast cancer is within the acceptable range of the cost-effectiveness ratio for medical intervention.
