Abstract: Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction and the Timing of Adjuvant Radiotherapy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Surgical Outcomes

چکیده
INTRODUCTION: Silicone breast implants have been used for decades for cosmetic breast augmentation or reconstruction after mastectomy1. In selected cases, postmastectomy adjuvant radiotherapy is given with the breast implants in situ. Previous clinical studies showed that adjuvant radiotherapy may lead to several complications such as capsular contracture, infection and removal of the implant.2,3 Yet, the effect of radiotherapy on silicone breast implants themselves is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate if radiotherapy, as used in clinical postmastectomy radiotherapy, influences the mechanical properties of silicone breast implants.

Abstract 120: Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction and the Timing of Adjuvant Radiotherapy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Surgical Outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: These data show biosynthetic P4HB mesh to be a safe alternative to ADM in expander-based breast reconstruction, with trends toward decreased rates of infection and need for device removal using P4HB mesh. There was also a trend toward decreased infection rates in P4HB patients that were not radiated. Although our results are limited to a small series of initial patients, P4HB porou...

BACKGROUND The authors performed a systematic review of the literature on the outcome of therapy for patients with breast cancer who underwent adjuvant radiotherapy after an immediate two-stage prosthetic breast reconstruction, either following tissue expansion (stage 1) or after removal of the tissue expander and insertion of a final breast implant (stage 2). Their outcomes were compared to th...
متن کاملSubtypes of Benign Breast Disease as a Risk Factor for Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocol
AbstractBreast cancer is a multifactorial disease. Benign breast disease (BBD) is one of the most important risk factors for breast cancer. The etiology of BBD is unknown. It is divided into nonproliferative and proliferative diseases. The selection of studies will be based on titles, abstract screening, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and quality assessment. Previous studies have shown that ...
