Background: The Clinical Treatment Score post-5 years (CTS5) integrates four clinicopathological variables to estimate the residual disease recurrence risk in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer patients who have been treated with five years of adjuvant endocrine therapy. This study aimed to determine the accuracy of the CTS5. Methods: A systematic review was performed in accordance with the PRISMA statement. Studies relevant for inclusion in the current review were identified from The Cochrane Library, EBSCO, Ovid, PubMed, and Embase. Results: Six papers reported on 30 354 postmenopausal patients (age range 42 to 91 years). The pooled hazard ratio (HR) of distant recurrence relative to the low-risk CTS5 category was 5.41 (95% c.i. 4.50 to 6.51; P,0.05) for the high-risk CTS5 category and 2.32 (95% c.i. 1.90-2.84; P,0.05) for the intermediate CTS5 category. Three papers reported on 10 425 premenopausal patients (age range 18 to 54 years). The pooled HR of distant recurrence relative to the low-risk CTS5 category was 5.42 (95% c.i. 2.26 to 13.01; P, 0.05) for the high-risk CTS5 category and 2.82 (95% c.i. 1.35 to 5.88; P,0.05) for the intermediate CTS5 category. Relative to highrisk postmenopausal patients, the mean observed 10-year distant recurrence risk for the high CTS5 category was 13.83 per cent, which differs significantly from the CTS5 estimation of 10-year distant recurrence risk (20.3 per cent, 95% c.i. 17.2 to 24; P=0.000). Conclusion: The CTS5 can predict late distant recurrence risk in pre- and postmenopausal hormone receptor-positive breast cancer patients. CTS5 overestimates the risk for high-risk patients and thus, its use in these patients warrants caution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article offers clarifications regarding publications of various articles by Yoshitaka Fujii in the periodical "British Journal of Surgery" and its sister publication "European Journal of Surgery"

The article presents a study which investigates when and where the manuscripts submitted to the "British Journal of Surgery" (BJS) are published after they have been rejected. The study identified the rejected 2006 manuscripts from the Manuscript Central electronic database and PubMed search was carried on through author's last name to determine if the papers are published in another journal. The result shows that 65.8% out of 926 rejected manuscripts were published in 198 different journals.
