BACKGROUND:The number of women diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is increasing. Although many eventually develop a second breast cancer (SBC), little is known about the characteristics of SBCs. The authors described the characteristics of SBC and examined associations between the pathologic features of SBC and index DCIS cases.
METHODS:Women were identified in the National Comprehensive...
BACKGROUND:The objective of this study was to describe clinicopathologic features, patterns of recurrence, and survival according to breast cancer subtype with a focus on triple‐negative tumors.
METHODS:In total, 15,204 women were evaluated who presented to National Comprehensive Cancer Network centers with stage I through III breast cancer between January 2000 and December 2006. Tumors were classified...
BACKGROUND:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of postmastectomy breast reconstruction on the timing of chemotherapy.
