Introduction:
Long-term oncologic outcomes in nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) continue to be defined. Rates of locoregional recurrence for skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) and NSM in the literature range from 0 to 11.7%. We investigated the outcomes of NSM at our institution.
Methods:
Patients undergoing NSM at our institution from 2006 to 2014 were identified. Patient demographics, tumor characteristics, and outcomes were collected. Locoregional recurrence was compared to published NSM and SSM results compiled from 14 and 11 studies.
Results:
From 2006 to 2014, 319 patients (555 breasts) underwent NSM. 149 patients had long-term follow-up available. Patient demographics and tumor characteristics are demonstrated in Tables 1 and 2. Average patient follow-up was 30.72 months. There was one (0.7%) incidence of ipsilateral chest-wall recurrence in a 44 year-old (p<0.0001, compared to aggregate NSM and SSM data). There were 0.36 complications per patient (Table 3).
Conclusions:
We examined our institutional outcomes with NSM and found a locoregional recurrence rate of 0.7% with no nipple-areolar complex recurrence. This rate is significantly lower than aggregate published rates for both NSM and SSM.
