    الوصف: Purpose To characterise the prevalence of pathogenic germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 in families with breast cancer (BC) and ovarian cancer (OC) history. Patients and methods Data from 21 401 families were gathered between 1996 and 2014 in a clinical setting in the German Consortium for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer, comprising full pedigrees with cancer status of all individual members at the time of first counselling, and BRCA1/2 mutation status of the index patient. Results The overall BRCA1/2 mutation prevalence was 24.0% (95% CI 23.4% to 24.6%). Highest mutation frequencies were observed in families with at least two OCs (41.9%, 95% CI 36.1% to 48.0%) and families with at least one breast and one OC (41.6%, 95% CI 40.3% to 43.0%), followed by male BC with at least one female BC or OC (35.8%; 95% CI 32.2% to 39.6%). In families with a single case of early BC (

    الوصف: 1589Background: Rates of prophylactic mastectomy (PM) have increased since the 1990ies and particularly after the outing of Angelina Jolie. Sensitive diagnostic tests such as magnetic resonance imaging and genetic testing have been cited as justification for the surgical procedure. However, psychosocial factors influencing patients´ preferences concerning preventive options are still unknown. Methods: From June 2013 to December 2014 BRCA1/2-mutation carriers (n = 159) were investigated in terms of distress (HADS), personality factors (FPI), calculated breast cancer risk and sociodemographic factors concerning their decision about preventive options (intensified breast cancer surveillance and PM) (funded: German Federal Ministry of Health, grant no. IIA5-2512 FSB 002). Results: We identified a significantly increased percentage of healthy and diseased BRCA1/2-mutation carriers with pathologic anxiety levels (HADS-A > 10) (27%) compared to the general population (7%). Moreover, we found a clear association ...

    الوصف: The objective of this study was the investigation of a possible improvement of tumor resection rate, i.e. R0 vs. R1 resection when intraoperative ultrasound evaluation of tissue margins is used during breast-conserving surgery (BCS).A total of 250 cases were evaluated retrospectively. The impact of ultrasound analysis onto clean margin rates was evaluated. A subgroup analysis assessed histology, stage, and neoadjuvant therapy with respect to R0 resection rate and ultrasound evaluation.Of 250 BCS cases 84, (33.6%) underwent intraoperative ultrasound and 166 (66.4%) did not. Clean primary surgical margins (R0) were demonstrated for 218 (87.2%) patients after histological analysis. R0 resection was achieved in 81 (96.4%) patients in the ultrasound group compared to 137 (82.5%) in the control group. The difference between the two groups is significant.This study revealed a significant increase in R0 resection rates when intraoperative ultrasound was used to evaluate surgical margins.
