Seromas and Punctures after Complete Axillary Node Dissection for Breast Cancer: Differences between Mastectomy and Lumpectomy

Methods: The medical reports of 223 women who underwent CALND after mastectomy (n=127) or lumpectomy (n=96) for breast cancer and who were followed in our institute were retrospectively reviewed to obtain the following: the characteristics (volume and duration) of the drained seromas; the number, volume, and duration of punctures performed after hospital discharge; the patient’s age and body ma...

Surgical Dissection of the Facial nerve in Parotidectomy: Our Personal Experience

Lower axillary dissection in breast cancer surgery may be candidate for cases with early breast cancer.

Lower axillary lymph node dissection (lower parts of both the level I and II elements below the second intracostobrachial nerve) and level I and II lymph node dissection were performed on breast cancer patients (n = 54), and the results with the two methods were compared in terms of the status of detected lymph node metastases. For Stage I, N0 cases, the results for pathological classification ...

Dissection axillary lymph node count in patient with breast cancer followed by neoadjuvant therapy

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second cause of death in women. It is essential to have the highest level of confidence in axillary staging assessment. Many surgeons and pathologists believe that fewer lymph nodes are present in axillary dissection specimens of women treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to compare the lym...

Tailored surgery in elderly patients with breast cancer: our experience

Background The incidence of breast cancer increases with advancing age. Although breast cancer in elderly patients presents corresponding biological characteristics to similar-stage cancer in younger women, the treatment is under standardized. This population is rarely included in randomized clinical trials. In absence of guide lines, tailored surgery has an important role in older women breast...
