Rising double-mastectomy rates attract increasing scrutiny.
one high-risk feature. A recent joint analysis of the NSABP B-31 and NCCTG N9831 randomized phase III trials that led to these approvals showed that adjuvant trastuzumab added to chemotherapy increased 10-year overall survival from 75.2% to 84% and 10-year DFS from 62.2% to 73.7%, Salazar said. “So the question becomes, if you add the vaccine to trastuzumab to prevent recurrence, does it improv...
متن کاملIncrease of mastectomy rates after preoperative MRI in women with breast cancer is not influenced by patients age.
Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly used for staging women with breast cancer, including screening for occult ipsilateral or contralateral cancer. If breast-conserving surgery is planned, a MRI examination should be performed in all ages women with suspected breast cancer, especially those exhibiting dense or heterogeneously dense breast parenchyma, for which the sensi...
متن کاملA multidisciplinary team approach minimises prophylactic mastectomy rates.
BACKGROUND Prophylactic mastectomy (PM) has become increasingly common but is not without complications especially if accompanied by reconstructive surgery. In patients with sporadic unilateral breast cancer, contralateral PM offers no survival advantage. Multidisciplinary team (MDT) communication and interaction may facilitate shared decision-making and curtail PM rates. The aim of this study ...
متن کاملShould individual fitness increase with heterozygosity?
Natural selection influences not only gamete frequencies in populations but also the multilocus fitness structures associated with segregating gametes. In particular, only certain patterns of multilocus fitnesses are consistent with the maintenance of stable multilocus polymorphisms. This paper offers support for the proposition that, at stable, viability-maintained, multilocus polymorphisms, t...
متن کاملShould Monetary Policy Use Long-Term Rates?
This paper studies two roles that long-term nominal interest rates can play in the conduct of monetary policy in a New Keynesian model. The first allows long-term rates to enter the reaction function of the monetary authority. The second considers the possibility of using long-term rates as instruments of policy. It is shown that in both cases a unique rational expectations equilibrium exists. ...
