    Abstract Monitoring of patient and tumor during chemotherapy is important to determine whether the chemotherapy is effective to the patient. Variants affect drug enzyme activities and altered enzyme activities can be potential predictors for chemotherapeutic agents including cyclophosphamide and paclitaxel. Response to chemotherapy is primarily based on somatic mutations but germline variants may predict cancer cell sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents. Furthermore, patient's genetic variation of immune system was reported to be associated with drug response and toxicity. Recently, the somaric and germilne genomic variation influences the pharmacokinetics of chemotherapy and these variation can be biomarkers for chemotherapy.

    Abstract HyperArc is a preferred technique for treating brain metastases, employing a single isocenter for multiple lesions. Geometrical isocentricity in the TrueBeam linear accelerator with HyperArc is crucial. We evaluated machine performance checks (MPCs) as an alternative to the Winston-Lutz (WL) test to verify the treatment isocenter. Between January and July 2023, we assessed 53 data points using MPC and Winston-Lutz tests. The isocenter size obtained from the MPC and its sum, including the rotation-induced couch shift, were compared with the maximum total delta value from the Winston-Lutz test. The maximum total delta was 0.68 ± 0.10 mm, while the isocenter size was 0.28 ± 0.02 mm. The sum of the isocenter size and rotation-induced couch shift measured by MPC was 0.61 ± 0.03 mm. During the Winston-Lutz test (without couch rotation), the maximum total delta value was 0.56 ± 0.13 mm. A

    Abstract Purpose: Breast cancer is known to be influenced by genetic and environmental factors, and several susceptibility genes have been discovered. Still, the majority of genetic contributors remain unknown. We aimed to analyze the plasma proteome of breast cancer patients in comparison to healthy individuals to identify differences in protein expression profiles and discover novel biomarkers.
    Methods: This pilot study was conducted using bioresources from Seoul National University Bundang Hospital's Human Bioresource Center. Serum samples from 10 breast cancer patients and 10 healthy controls were obtained. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed proteins.
    Results: We identified 891 proteins; 805 were expressed in the breast cancer group and 882 in the control group. Gene set enrichment and differential expression analysis identified 30 upregulated and 100 downregulated proteins in breast cancer. Among these, 10 proteins were selected as potential biomarkers. Three proteins were upregulated in breast cancer patients, including cluster of differentiation 44, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-α kinase 3, and fibronectin 1. Seven proteins downregulated in breast cancer patients were also selected: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, α-enolase, heat shock protein member 8, integrin-linked kinase, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1, vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein, and 14-3-3 protein gamma. All proteins had been previously reported to be related to tumor development and progression.
    Conclusion: The findings suggest that plasma proteome profiling can reveal potential diagnostic biomarkers for breast cancer and may contribute to early detection and personalized treatment strategies. A further validation study with a larger sample cohort of breast cancer patients is planned.

    Abstract Two-dimensional material-based field-effect transistors are promising for future use in electronic and optoelectronic applications. However, trap states existing in the transistors are known to hinder device performance. They capture/release carriers in the channel and lead to hysteresis in the transfer characteristics.

    Abstract Background: Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) has gained popularity as more studies have supported its oncologic safety. Although there have been some studies reporting complications including mastectomy flap and nipple necrosis, there have been few reports discussing the change in nipple projection following NSM. This study aimed to analyze the change in nipple projection after NSM and identify risk factors for nipple depression. In addition, the authors present a new method for maintaining nipple projection.
    Methods: Patients who underwent NSM between March of 2017 and December of 2020 at the authors' institute were included in this study. The authors measured the preoperative and postoperative nipple projection height and used a nipple projection ratio (NPR) to compare the change in height. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to examine the correlation of variables with the NPR.
    Results: A total of 307 patients and 330 breasts were included in this study. There were 13 cases of nipple necrosis. The postoperative nipple height was decreased by 32.8%, which was statistically significant. In multiple linear regression analysis, the use of an acellular dermal matrix strut was positively correlated with the NPR and implant-based reconstruction and postmastectomy radiation therapy were negatively correlated with the NPR.
    Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrated that the reduction in nipple height after NSM was statistically significant. Surgeons need to be aware of these changes following NSM and explain this possibility to patients who have risk factors. The application of an acellular dermal matrix strut should be considered for the prevention of nipple reduction.

    Abstract Background: Phyllodes tumor (PT) is a rare fibroepithelial neoplasm of the breast. The proper extent of resection is still under debate. This study aimed to investigate the optimal surgical margin to prevent recurrence after surgery for PT and to evaluate risk factors for local recurrence (LR).
    Methods: Retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort database was performed. Patients who underwent curative surgery for PT at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital between July 2003 and February 2022 were reviewed.
    Results: Of the 439 patients included, 285 were benign, 129 were borderline, and 25 were malignant. There was no statistically significant difference in 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) between margin-negative and margin-involved patients (87.3% vs. 85.1%, p = 0.081). When patients were classified into groups, according to margin status, as conventional (≥ 1 cm from tumor), close (< 1 cm from tumor), or involved, 5-year DFS rates were also similar (100% vs. 86.9% vs. 85.1%, p = 0.170). In subgroup analysis for different histologic grades, 5-year DFS was not affected by margin involvement. In univariate analysis, large tumor size (> 5 cm; hazard ratio [HR] 2.857, p = 0.028) and infiltrative tumor border (HR 3.096, p = 0.012) were independent risk factors for LR. Further multivariate analysis found both factors to be prognostic.
    Conclusions: Recurrence was not significantly influenced by margin status in all histological grades. In benign and borderline tumors, local excision without wide surgical margins could be sufficient, and watchful waiting could be an option for patients with positive margins after initial surgery.

    Abstract BRCA1/2 germline mutations account for the majority of hereditary breast cancers. Since the identification of the BRCA genes, several attempts have been made to define the clinicopathological characteristics of BRCA-associated breast cancer in comparison with sporadic breast cancer. Asians constitute 60% of the world population, and although the incidence of breast cancer in Asia remains low compared to the West, breast cancer is the most prevalent female cancer in the region. The epidemiological aspects of breast cancer are different between Asians and Caucasians. Asian patients present with breast cancer at a younger age than Western patients. The contributions of BRCA1/2 mutations to breast cancer incidence are expected to differ between Asians and Caucasians, and the different genetic backgrounds among races are likely to influence the breast cancer phenotypes. However, most large-scale studies on the clinicopathological characteristics of BRCA-associated breast cancer have been on Western patients, while studies on Asian populations were small and sporadic. In this review, we provide an overview of the clinical and pathological characteristics of BRCA-associated breast cancer, incorporating findings on Asian patients.
