PURPOSE: To analyse the influence of tumor volume/breast volume ratio (TV/BV ratio) measured on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other factors on surgeons' choice between large volume displacement oncoplastic surgery (LVOS) versus mastectomy (M) in patients with large sized tumors. Secondly, we investigate the predictive value of TV/BV ratio and other possible predictors for cosmetic results. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 80 MRI examinations performed on 77 breast cancer patients who underwent M (58 breasts, 72.5%) or LVOS (22 breasts, 27.5%) at our institution between January 2016 and December 2017. The TV and BV measurements were performed by a semiautomated analysis and the TV/BV ratio was calculated by dividing TV by BV in cm3 and multiplying it by 1,000. Cosmetic result was determined by an expert panel assessment of postoperative photographs. RESULTS: Median TV/BV was significantly higher in the M group (44,8 IQR 17,3-93,6) than in the LVOS group (17,5 IQR 11,7-57,5) (P=0.002). Multifocal/multicentric disease (P=0.005), lower degree of breast ptosis (P<0.0001) and unfavourable tumor location (P=0.024) are significantly more frequent in the M group. After multivariable linear regression, the independent predictors for cosmetic result were: unfavourable tumor location (OR 6.637 95% CI 1.564- 28.172 P=0.010) and a higher TV/BV ratio (OR 4.907 95% CI 1.461-16.478 P=0.010) CONCLUSION: Preoperative evaluation of TV/BV ratio, tumor location and tumor multifocality/multicentricity could improve treatment decision making (LVOS versus M) in breast cancer patient eligible for both options. Increasing TV/BV ratio and unfavourable tumor location are adversely affecting cosmetic result.

Scopo dello studio è stato quello di analizzare l’influenza del rapporto tra volume del tumore/volume della mammella (TV/BV), misurato nelle immagini di risonanza magnetica (MRI) e di altri fattori sulla scelta del trattamento chirurgico -chirurgia oncoplastica (LVOS) versus mastectomia (M)- nelle pazienti con neoplasia mammaria localmente avanzata. Ulteriore obiettivo è stato inoltre di analizzare il valore predittivo del rapporto TV/BV e di altri possibili fattori sull’esito cosmetico. Sono stati retrospettivamente analizzati i dati di 80 esami di risonanza magnetica eseguiti su 77 pazienti con neoplasia mammaria localmente avanzata sottoposte successivamente a M (58 mammelle, 72,5%) o LVOS (22 mammelle, 27,5%) da gennaio 2016 a dicembre 2017. Il TV e il BV sono stati calcolati sulle immagini di risonanza magnetica mediante un’analisi semiautomatica e il rapporto TV/BV è stato calcolato dividendo il TV per il BV (espressi in cm3) e moltiplicando per 1000. L’esito cosmetico è stato valutato da un panel di esperti mediante l’utilizzo di fotografie post-operatorie. IL rapporto TV/BV è significativamente più alto nel gruppo delle pazienti sottoposte a M (44,8 IQR 17,3-93,6) rispetto al gruppo LVOS (17,5 IQR 11,7-57,5) (P=0.002). Una malattia multifocale/multicentrica (P=0.005), un minore grado di ptosi (P<0.0001) e una sfavorevole localizzazione del tumore (P=0.024) sono significativamente più frequenti nelle pazienti sottoposte a M. Dopo analisi di regressione lineare multivariata, i fattori indipendenti predittivi di risultato cosmetico scadente risultano: una sfavorevole localizzazione del tumore (OR 6.637 95% CI 1.564–28.172 P=0.010) e un alto rapporto TV/BV (OR 4.907 95% CI 1.461–16.478 P=0.010). Le valutazioni preoperatorie riguardo il rapporto TV/BV, la localizzazione della neoplasia e la sua multifocalità/ multicentricità consentono di migliorare il processo decisionale nella scelta del trattamento chirurgico (mastectomia vs LVOS) nelle pazienti eleggibili per entrambe le opzioni terapeutiche. L’aumento del rapporto TV/BV e una sfavorevole localizzazione della neoplasia sono negativamente associate al risultato cosmetico. La Risonanza Magnetica rende tali valutazioni oggettive e riproducibili, configurandosi come un valido ausilio per il chirurgo e per la Paziente ai fini di una scelta consapevole e un trattamento personalizzato.
