Recycling the GaN Waste from LED Industry by Pressurized Leaching Method

摘要： Background: Ductal carcinoma in situ with microinvasion (DCISM) represents ~1% of all breast cancer cases. Risk factors for lymph node (LN) metastasis and appropriate adjuvant therapy for DCISM are still widely debated. Methods: We retrieved DCISM data from the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry database (1998–2013). Chi-squared tests and logistic regression models were applied to investigate the potential risks of LN metastasis. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regressions were performed to estimate the prognostic factors of DCISM. Survival outcomes were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. A 1:1 propensity score matching was used to minimize potential bias. Results: Overall, 6,219 patients with DCISM met our inclusion criteria. Younger age and higher grade disease were identified as risk factors for LN metastasis. In the multivariable analysis, LN metastasis and chemotherapy were prognostic factors for worse overall survival and breast cancer-specific survival. Furthermore, propensity score matching and subgroup analysis showed that chemotherapy may not be effective for DCISM patients. Conclusion: Younger patients with high-grade disease tend to have LN involved in DCISM. Adjuvant chemotherapy might not be necessary for patients with DCISM.
