Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is a distinct clinical subtype of locally advanced breast cancer, with a particularly aggressive behavior and poor prognosis. Clinically, IBC typically presents with rapidly progressive breast warmth, erythema and edema [1]. It is now well established that adjuvant systemic therapy improves survival in patients with early-stage breast cancer [2]. Breast cancer i...

Recently an association between breast cancer and inflammation has emerged as the seventh hallmark of cancer. Chronic inflammation is a key contributor in the development and progression of carcinogenesis. Inflammatory pathways play an important role in the causation of breast cancer. C-reactive protein (CRP) an acute-phase reactant inflammatory protein is synthesized in hepatocytes in response...

One of the rare identity breast diseases is Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis (IGM), a chronic inflammatory condition that can mimic advanced cancer. The case came with nipple discharge and mass skin changes, which was definitively diagnosed following core-cut biopsy mastitis group idiopathic granulomatous.

BACKGROUND While there is accumulating evidence that use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) decreases breast cancer risk, little is known about the impact of NSAIDs on survival after breast cancer diagnosis. METHODS We assessed whether recent, prediagnostic NSAID use and lifetime cumulative aspirin use before diagnosis were associated with survival among 1,024 women with incident...
