The clinical and pathologic data of the 221 patients with breast carcinoma primarily treated in the Servico de Cirurgia 3 of Hospital S. Joäo from 1960 to 1979 were reviewed. The 5, 10 and 15-year survival rates of the 215 patients with follow-up information were 63.4%, 48.2% and 20.2%, respectively. Patho logic staging of the axilla was found to be the most important prognostic factor. Tumor s...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to identify the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic value of p53 overexpression in breast cancer patients treated with a modified radical mastectomy. METHODS The medical records of 197 patients who had undergone modified radical mastectomy between January 1991 and December 2008 were reviewed retrospectively. Breast cancer subtype and p53 ...

Conservative Breast Surgery Stage I and Stage II breast cancers are early cancers that are not fixed to the skin or muscle. If lymph nodes are involved, they are not fixed to each other or to underlying structures. Modified radical mastectomy continues to be appropriate for some patients, but breast conservation therapy is now regarded as the optimal treatment for most. Six prospective randomiz...

breast sarcomas have relatively been rare and accounted for 1% of all primary malignant tumors of the breast. pure and primary chondrosarcoma of the male breast would be an extremely rare tumor. it might arise either from the breast stroma itself, or from underlying bone or cartilage. a 65-year-old man has presented with a rapidly growing breast mass since 5 months. physical examination has est...

Objectives: Breast conserving surgery (BCS) for early breast cancer is now an accepted treatment, but there are controversies about its comparability with mastectomy. Thus, we investigated the survival outcomes who underwent BCS and modified radical mastectomy (MRM). Methods: In this retrospective review, we analyzed the survival outcomes of 618 patients with early breast cancer who underwent t...

OBJECTIVES This study was designed to compare the prevalence of shoulder-arm morbidity, patient satisfaction with surgery and the quality of life of women submitted to breast-conserving therapy or modified radical mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction . METHODS This study was a cross-sectional study of women who underwent breast-conserving therapy (n = 44) or modified radical mastect...

BACKGROUND This study investigated the effects of indexes of consciousness (IoC1 and IoC2) monitoring on remifentanil dosage. METHODS In this randomized, single-blinded, prospective study, 120 patients undergoing unilateral modified radical mastectomy were randomly assigned to the treatment group (T group, n = 60) or control group (C group, n = 60). In the T group, patients received both IoC1...

Optimal management for axillary recurrence is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for overall survival in the patients with axillary recurrence. Data of 1098 patients were collected from breast cancer registers from Clinic for Oncology Nis between 1990-1995. All patients underwent modified radical mastectomy. Axillary recurence was diganosed in 43 (3.92%) p...
