Challenging Cases in Breast Cancer: Rare Breast Cancer Histologies and Presentations
This activity includes a panel of experts from breast radiation oncology, surgical oncology, medical oncology, and pathology to discuss the following rare histologies/breast cancer presentations: 1) Pleomorphic LCIS- diagnosis and differential (path) appropriate margin width (surgeon), role of adjuvant radiation (rad onc), role for endocrine therapy (med onc) 2) Phyllodes tumor- diagnosis and differential (path), surgical management (surg onc), adjuvant RT (rad onc) - discuss NRG trial on Phyllodes as part of the panel 3) Male breast cancer- mastectomy vs. breast conservation (surgery), use of genomic scores like oncotype, tamoxifen vs. AI, (med onc), role of adjuvant radiation and how it differs from women (rad onc) 4. Metaplastic breast cancer: mastectomy vs. breast conservation and optimal margin width (surg onc), systemic therapy, endocrine therapy and more targeted agents (med onc), adjuvant RT (rad onc).
