    Abstract Natural language understanding (NLU) may be particularly well-equipped for enhanced data capture from the electronic health record (EHR) given its examination of both content- and context-driven extraction. We developed and applied a NLU model to examine rates of pathological node positivity (pN+) and rates of lymphedema to determine if omission of routine axillary staging could be extended to younger patients with ER+/cN0 disease. We found that rates of pN+ and arm lymphedema were similar between patients 55-69yo and ≥70yo, with rates of lymphedema exceeding rates of pN+ for clinical stage T1c and smaller disease. Data from our NLU model suggest that omission of SLNB might be extended beyond Choosing Wisely recommendations, limited to those over 70 years old, to all postmenopausal women with early-stage ER+/cN0 disease. These data support the recently-reported SOUND trial results and provide additional granularity to facilitate surgical de-escalation.

    Abstract Background: Phyllodes tumors (PTs) are rare breast neoplasms with variable clinical behavior by histologic type: benign, borderline, or malignant. Until recently, management guidelines recommended one approach for all subtypes.
    Methods: A 21-question survey was sent to American Society of Breast Surgeon members to evaluate management patterns by subtype. Surgeon demographics, decisions regarding management of margins, re-excision, surveillance, and synoptic reporting were collected. Chi-square or analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used as appropriate, with significance set at p < 0.05.
    Results: A total of 493 of 2969 surveys were completed for a response rate of 18.3%. Among the survey takers, 55% were fellowship trained, 72% were in practice > 10 years, and 82% performed > 100 breast cases per year. Although 25% of respondents enucleate a mass with clinical suspicion of a PT alone, this decreased to 18% if a preoperative core biopsy performed was suggestive of PT. For margin management, 47% do not re-excise positive margins for benign PTs, but 96% would for a borderline or malignant PTs (p < 0.001). Only 2% perform axillary staging for malignant PTs, and 90% refer borderline or malignant PTs for radiation. Two-year surveillance was performed by about half of respondents for benign PT. However, two-thirds of respondents would increase surveillance to 5 years for borderline or malignant PTs. Only 38% report a templated synoptic pathology report at their institution.
    Conclusion: PT management patterns are evolving but still variable when looking at initial margin intent, decision for re-excision, radiation referral, pathologic reporting, and surveillance. This suggests the need for more specific management guidelines by subtype given differences in clinical behavior.

    Abstract Background: The Society for Surgical Oncology's Choosing Wisely guidelines recommend against sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in favor of observation in this population. Recent analyses reveal that this has not been widely adopted. The purpose of this cost-effectiveness analysis is to compare the costs and benefits associated with observation or SLNB in women >70 years old with hormone receptor-positive, clinically node-negative, operable breast cancer.
    Methods: A decision tree with Markov modeling was created to compare treatment strategies using long-term follow-up data from clinical trials in this population. Costs were estimated from published literature and publicly available databases. Breast cancer-specific health-state utilities were derived from the literature and expert opinion. One-way, 2-way, and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted. A structural sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the effect of functional status and anxiety from nonevaluation of the axilla on cost-effectiveness. Costs and benefits, measured in life-years (LYs) and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), were tabulated across 10, 15, and 20 years and compared using incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs).
    Results: SLNB is not cost-effective from the payer or societal perspectives with ICERs of $138,374/LY and $131,900/LY, respectively. When QALYs were considered, SLNB provided fewer QALYs (SLNB, 10.33 QALYs; observation, 10.53 QALYs) at a higher cost (SLNB, $15,845; observation, $4020). Structural sensitivity analysis revealed that SLNB was cost-effective in certain patients with significant anxiety related to axillary observation (ICER, $39,417/QALY).
    Conclusions: Routine SLNB in this population is not cost-effective. The cost-effectiveness of SLNB, however, is dependent on individual patient factors, including functional status as well as patient preference.

    Abstract Purpose: Benign phyllodes tumors (BPT) are rare breast neoplasms with clinical behavior that poses low recurrence risk. Guidelines regarding appropriate margins recommend surgical excision to negative margins, sometimes requiring re-excision surgery. Contemporary experience suggests that re-excision in the face of positive margins may not be needed.
    Methods: This is a retrospective review of a single-institution experience with BPT from 2010 to 2019 with 102 patients. Demographics, outcomes and follow-up were analyzed.
    Results: The median age was 37 years. 95% had a pre-operative biopsy and only 6% were confirmed BPT before surgery.56% had positive margins and were more likely to be younger and have a pre-operative diagnosis of fibroadenoma. The median follow-up was 33 months. Between the positive and negative margin groups, recurrence rates were not significantly different (p = 0.87).
    Conclusion: Positive margins on excision of BPT poses a low recurrence risk and re-excision surgery is not necessary.

    Abstract Introduction: Lactating adenomas are rare benign breast tumors, most commonly found during pregnancy and lactation. They are usually slow growing and smaller than 3cm in maximal diameter. Rare cases of giant lactating adenomas and rapid postpartum enlargement have been reported, but none have shown a giant lactating adenoma with rapid antepartum enlargement or antepartum surgical management.
    Case presentation: A 27 year-old pregnant woman presented at 28 weeks gestation with a 5cm left breast mass that doubled to 10cm within six weeks and was increasingly tender. Histopathologic examination of a core biopsy was consistent with a lactating adenoma. The mass was excised at 31 weeks gestation with no complications.
    Discussion: Lactating adenomas are common during pregnancy and need to be distinguished from breast cancer, a commonly diagnosed malignancy in pregnancy. They can be distinguished from carcinoma and other benign tumors like fibroadenoma under histopathologic examination. Rare cases of giant lactating adenomas with rapid postpartum enlargement that were managed by postpartum excision have been reported. However, a giant lactating adenoma with rapid antepartum enlargement, managed by excision in the third trimester of pregnancy, has not been reported.
    Conclusion: Excision of a large, rapidly enlarging lactating adenoma in the third trimester of pregnancy is a safe and feasible management option.

    Abstract Purpose: Although published data have supported the use of hypofractionated regional nodal irradiation (HF-RNI) for breast cancer, limited dosimetric data exist to evaluate predictors of lung toxicity. The ongoing RT CHARM trial limits the percentage of ipsilateral lung volume that receives ≥18 Gy to 35 to 40%. We assessed dosimetry, toxicity, and disease outcomes in patients with breast cancer treated with HF-RNI with a particular focus on pneumonitis.
    Methods and materials: We retrospectively reviewed all patients with breast cancer treated with HF-RNI (40-43 Gy in 15-16 fractions) after either lumpectomy or mastectomy at The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center from September 2018 to December 2021 to collect dosimetric and outcomes data. All post-radiation therapy chest computed tomography (CT) scans were manually reviewed for evidence of acute (≤6 months postradiation) or chronic (>6 months postradiation) pneumonitis.
    Results: One-hundred-ninety-one patients qualified with a median follow-up of 20.3 months (range, 5.1-42.2). Acute grade 1 (G1) pneumonitis was observed in 6.8% of the overall cohort (13 of 191 patients) and 39.4% of the patients (13 of 33) who received a chest CT ≤6 months postradiation therapy. Only 1 patient developed acute G2 pneumonitis. Chronic G1 pneumonitis was observed in 29.8% of the overall cohort (57 of 191 patients) and 77% of patients (57 of 74 patients) who received a chest CT >6 months postradiation therapy. No patients developed acute G3+ or chronic G2+ pneumonitis.
    Conclusions: Rates of symptomatic pneumonitis were low in this cohort of patients treated with HF-RNI, even with integration of HER2/neu-directed therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and internal mammary nodal irradiation. Lung V20Gy <26% appeared safe in this cohort to limit symptomatic pneumonitis, though this is not meant to represent the safe upper limit. Given the low event rate of symptomatic pneumonitis, data from larger cohorts will be needed to assess dosimetric predictors and the safe upper limit of lung dose.
