Breast cancer-related lymphedema (LE) represents an important morbidity that jeopardizes breast cancer patients' quality of life. Different attempts to prevent LE brought about improvements in the incidence pathology but still a frequent occurrence survivors. Over 4 years ago, Lymphatic Microsurgical Preventing Healing Approach (LYMPHA) was proposed and long-term results are reported this study. From July 2008 December 2012, 74 patients underwent axillary nodal dissection for treatment...
The initial results of the SINODAR-ONE randomized clinical trial reported that patients with T1-2 breast cancer and one to two macrometastatic sentinel lymph nodes treated breast-conserving surgery, node biopsy only, adjuvant therapy did not present worse 3-year survival, regional recurrence, or distant recurrence rates compared those axillary dissection. To extend recommendation dissection omission even in mastectomy, a sub-analysis is presented here.Patients no more than metastatic...
Purpose The aim of the authors in this study was to critically evaluate role whole-body positron emission tomographic (PET) imaging with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) staging esophageal cancer, and further compare method conventional computed tomography (CT). Materials Methods performed independent, blinded retrospective evaluations FDG PET images obtained 47 patients referred for initial cancer before minimally invasive surgical staging. Twenty studies from nonesophageal thoracic...
This study evaluates a 5-year experience of the management most frequent abdominal wall hernias in an elderly population.From April 1990 to December 1995, 231 inguinal, 12 femoral and seven umbilical were repaired 221 patients (mean age 74 (range 66-93) years). Concomitant diseases present 157 patients. A mesh repair was performed with 'tension-free' or 'plug' techniques all but 23 inguinal two hernia repairs, which Bassini Shouldice procedures adopted. Ten emergency repairs for...
Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) is a complex disease that requires multidisciplinary approach. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) usually performed in order to achieve loco-regional radical resection; although its importance the approach LABC well recognized, small number of patients show Progressive Disease (PD). No standard salvage treatment (ST) has been defined and different strategies can be adopted, such as second-line systemic therapies, radiation therapy, surgery. Herein, case PD...
The purpose of our study was to establish whether it might be safe for women with a diagnosis atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) at stereotactically guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy without any residual microcalcification after the procedure undergo mammographic follow-up instead surgical biopsy.From October 2003 January 2009, 1173 consecutive 11-gauge procedures were performed. ADH found in specimens 114 patients who underwent single cluster suspicious microcalcifications smaller than 15...
Atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) is a proliferative lesion associated with variable increased risk of breast malignancy, but the management patients still not completely defined, mandatory surgical excision in most cases. To report results conservative mammographic checks ADH diagnosed by vacuum assisted biopsy (VAB), without residual calcifications.The authors accessed institutional database radiological, and pathological anatomy. Inclusion criteria were: VAB on single group...
Although the introduction of acellular dermal matrices is considered one most important advancements in alloplastic breast reconstruction, costs and local policy limit their use Italy. The purpose this study was to assess short-term outcomes following Surgimesh-PET-based reconstruction.A single-center, retrospective, case-control performed from January 1, 2012, December 31, 2013, by enrolling 206 reconstructions 196 patients after oncologic (n = 200) or prophylactic 6) mastectomy. Group A...
Background: COVID-19 pandemic required a marked re-allocation of healthcare resources, including at Breast Units. A patient-tailored program was developed to assess its efficacy regarding prevention infection among patients with breast cancer undergoing surgery and workers (HCWs). Patients Methods: From March 9th April 2020, 91 were selected for elective by means of: i) Pre-hospital screening aimed avoiding hospitalization symptomatic or suspicious patients, ii) prioritisation surgical...
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescent-in situ hybridization (FISH) are standard methods to assess human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status in breast cancer (BC) patients. Real-time quantitative polymerase-chain-reaction (qRT-PCR) is able detect HER2 overexpression. Here we compared FISH, IHC, PCR (qPCR), qRT-PCR determine the concordance rates evaluate their relative roles determination. We determined 153 BC patients, using Q-PCR qRT-PCR. In discordant cases, directly...
Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) may rarely present with acute severe bleeding. A case report dealing transcatheter arterial embolization to control bleeding in a patient voluminous ulcerated mass is described. Our findings confirm that the endovascular approach effective such patients order stabilize whenever conventional treatments have failed or be life-threatening.
