02-P017 Notch signalling in DCIS and invasive breast cancer

by a short BrdU pulse, indicating that prevention of Bmi1 downregulation does not drive granule cells back into the cell cycle. No tumours were observed in two aging cohorts of transgenic mice derived from separate founder lines. However, these mice display an increase in astrocytes with the type II morphology in vitro compared to wild-type littermates. Cultures of FACSorted Math1-GFP+ granule ...

Breast Implants and Breast Cancer

Variability in reexcision following breast conservation surgery.

CONTEXT Health care reform calls for increasing physician accountability and transparency of outcomes. Partial mastectomy is the most commonly performed procedure for invasive breast cancer and often requires reexcision. Variability in reexcision might be reflective of the quality of care. OBJECTIVE To assess hospital and surgeon-specific variation in reexcision rates following partial mastec...

Reconstructive Breast Surgery following Mastectomy for Breast Cancer: A Review

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer in women with almost 1.38 million new cases annually worldwide [1]. It accounts for 23% of all cancers and 14% of deaths from cancer [1] One in nine women in the UK will develop breast cancer, however, the mortality rate is declining and now the 5-year survival rate is on the rise [2]. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment for breast cancer and t...

Higher Volume at Time of Breast Conserving Surgery Reduces Re-Excision in DCIS

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical and pathological variables which impact rate of re-excision following breast conserving therapy (BCS) with or without concurrent additional margin excision (AM). Methods. The pathology database was queried for all patients with DCIS from January 2004 to September 2008. Pathologic assessment included volume of excision, subtype, size...
