PurposeThe aim is to determine, how much and of what kind there are “hidden” pathologies in the breasts adolescent girls.BenefitsUltrasound main imaging modality breasts, perfectly suitable evaluate dense breast tissue.MethodsWe share our clinical experience sonographic evaluation non-symptomatic girls young adults 1999 – 2022. Healthy volunteers or adolescents/young with non-breast problems we...

PURPOSE It has been shown that early detection of breast cancer could save lives. Recently, there has been increasing interest in nipple fluid as a potential supplemental avenue for breast cancer diagnosis. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In this study, we determined the levels of an angiogenic factor basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in the nipple fluid of healthy subjects as well as patients with b...

Results: The overall incidence of all post-operative complications per breast was 23.8%. Breasts in which a complication occurred had a mean of 6 nodes removed versus 4 nodes in uncomplicated breasts (p=0.018). More complications were noted in patients who underwent axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) compared to sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB; p=0.008). Expander removal and seroma occurred...

BACKGROUND Although many plastic surgeons perform autologous fat grafting (lipofilling) for breast reconstruction after oncologic surgery, it has not been established whether postoncologic lipofilling increases the risk of breast cancer recurrence. The authors assessed the risk of locoregional and systemic recurrence in patients who underwent lipofilling for breast reconstruction. METHODS The...

Digital mammography requires revisiting techniques that have been optimized for prior screen/film mammography systems. The objective of the study was to determine optimized radiographic technique for a digital mammography system and demonstrate the potential for dose reduction in comparison to the clinically established techniques based on screen- film. An objective figure of merit (FOM) was em...

BACKGROUND Mammography, the gold standard for breast cancer screening misses some cancers, especially in women with dense breasts. Breast ultrasonography as a supplementary imaging tool for further evaluation of symptomatic women with mammographically dense breasts may improve the detection of mass lesions otherwise missed at mammography. The purpose of this study was to determine the increment...

Reduction mammaplasty with nipple-areolar transposition on a medial pedicle was designed as an alternative to amputation and free nipple graft for women with severe mammary hypertrophy. The purpose of this study was to review the viability and sensory outcome of the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) in 72 women (133 breasts) after medial pedicle and inferior pedicle reduction mammaplasty between 199...

Although immediate postmastectomy breast reconstruction is favored over delayed reconstruction, it remains associated with high complication rates. Potential complications include seroma formation, dehiscence, infection, and tissue necrosis along incision edges. Closed incision negative pressure therapy (ciNPT; Prevena Incision Management System, KCI, an Acelity company, San Antonio, Tex.) has ...

BACKGROUND High mammographic density might mask breast tumors, resulting in delayed diagnosis or missed cancers. PURPOSE To investigate the association between mammographic density and histopathologic tumor characteristics (histologic type, size, grade, and lymph node status) among women screened in the Norwegian Breast Cancer Screening Program. MATERIAL AND METHODS Information about 1760 s...
