A recent study found what skin dose-volume threshold was associated with breast lymphedema after whole breast radiation?
In a prospective trial, what proportion of sentinel lymph node biopsies were considered “adequate” after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced, clinical node positive breast cancer?
Does adjuvant radiation improve disease free survival for patients with completely resected WHO grade 2 meningioma?
Answers
V40 >90cc. Age was also associated with breast lymphedema risk.
60% had at least 3 nodes identified or 2 sentinel nodes plus a clipped node. A node was found in 74%, which is less than seen in patients with less advanced disease. However, among those successfully mapped, the false negative rate was just 2.1%.
Yes. In the ROAM trial, adjuvant RT (60 Gy in 30 fractions) significantly improved DFS at 5 years (79.9% v 64.3%) by halving the risk of local recurrence (14% v 30%). | QuadShot News
