Abstract

Ki67 index is considered to be a reliable indicator of the proliferative activity of breast cancer. Additionally, the Ki67 proliferative marker may play a role in assessing response to systemic therapeutic strategies and can act as a prognostic biomarker. But its limited reproducibility which stems from a lack of standardization of procedures, inter-observer variability, and preanalytical and analytical variabilities all have hampered the use of the Ki67 index in clinical practice. Currently, clinical trials have been evaluating Ki67 as a predictive marker for needing adjuvant chemotherapy in luminal early breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant endocrine therapy. But the inconsistencies existing in the estimation of the Ki67 index limit the utility of Ki67 in standard clinical practice. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of utilizing Ki-67 in early-stage breast cancer to prognosticate the disease and predict the risk of recurrence.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

Radiusfraktur BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Webinar beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
