Is Breast Conserving Therapy a Safe Modality for Early-Stage Male Breast Cancer?
The results from our study suggest that BCT for early-stage MBC yields comparable survival compared with more invasive treatment modalities (ie, MRM or SM alone). This could shift the treatment paradigm to less-invasive interventions and might have the added benefit of increased functional and psychological outcomes. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm our conclusions.
In our cohort of high-risk CDH survivors, PPH was not found to affect late sequelae at mid-term follow-up. This may indicate that postnatal pulmonary development is not (always) influenced by perinatal PPH. Nevertheless, a longer follow-up and more patients are needed to properly quantify possible late problems in high-risk CDH survivors with associated neonatal PPH.
