BACKGROUND Prosthetic breast reconstruction is generally considered contraindicated after previous breast irradiation. As a result, patients undergoing a salvage mastectomy for recurrent breast cancer or "risk-reducing" mastectomies after previous conservative surgery and radiotherapy (CS + RT) are usually offered autologous breast reconstruction. However, not all such patients are suitable can...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women, and the second cause of cancer mortality after pulmonary cancer in this gender. radiotherapy is one of the major treatments, which locally controls the disease and prohibits in recurrency. radiation pneumonitis is one of the radiotherapy complications, which usually occurs with...

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the reduction in excision cavity volume (ECV) during the whole breast radiotherapy (WBRT). The delineating of reduced cavity volume on secondary CT (computed tomography) might decrease the field size of boost plan. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients were treated having breast conservative surgery. At first, primary CT simulation (CT-1) was d...

introduction: radiation therapy following breast conserving surgery is one of the most common procedures performed in any radiation oncology department. a tangential parallel-opposed pair is almost always the technique of choice for this purpose. this technique is often performed based on 3d treatment planning. the aim of this study was to compare 3d treatment planning for two different energie...

in females, the most common cancer is breast carcinoma in which squamous cell carcinoma (scc) is a rare type of malignancy. histologically, infiltrating ductal carcinoma is the most common type and lobular, mucinous, and medullary types have lower incidence. pure scc of the breast can originate from the skin, nipple, or epithelium of a deep‑seated dermoid cyst or squamous metaplasia on chronic ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ipsilateral breast tumor relapse (IBTR) occurs in approximately 8-20% of women 10 years after breast conservation therapy (BCT). The aim of this study is to classify ipsilateral breast tumor relapses in patients treated with conservative surgery and radiation therapy as true recurrences or new primary and to show the clinical significance of classification into these two ...

Background . Surgery is fundamental in complex and combined approach the treatment of early breast cancer. It a common fact, that absence tumor cells resection margin main indicator oncological safety breast-conserving surgery (BCS). The presence examined predictor local recurrence after BCS for Currently clinical need precise fast method intraoperative assessment status kept. Intraoperative ev...

background: modified radical mastectomy (mrm), as a surgical treatment in breast cancer patients, may lead to important complications with significant morbidities including seroma formation. in this study, we used topical phenytoin to evaluate its impact on breast and axillary wound drainage and seroma formation after mrm. methods: in a double-blinded randomized clinical trial, patients with br...

background: acute postoperative pain is an important surgical side effect that may delay patient discharge in ambulatory operations; moreover, the strategies used to alleviate pain may cause side effects that require longer hospitalization to recover. in this clinical trial, we compared two current anesthetic methods with special concerns about postoperative pain intensity beside other importan...
