Mastectomy (Mammectomy)

09/12/2023 - "In most cases, transaxillary single-port endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate implant-based breast reconstruction (E-NSM-IIBR) is conducted in patients with early-stage breast cancer, ensuring surgical safety while achieving improved breast aesthetics. "
10/01/2019 - "Due to CS being the gold standard for treatment for most women with breast cancer, advances in materials, mastectomy and reconstructive surgery techniques, now give us the possibility to perform on our patients a great outcome with oncological security. "
10/01/2012 - "Preoperative breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for patients with early-stage breast cancer has dramatically increased in use without the evidence of improved outcomes compared to standard assessment and is associated with higher rates of mastectomy. "
09/01/2001 - "In women with breast cancer for whom breast-conserving therapy (BCT) is not the best option, a nipple and areola complex-(NAC) sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction has been proposed as a good and safe alternative to conventional, more radical mastectomy. "
08/11/2021 - "In our study, BCT was shown to have improved disease-specific outcomes compared to mastectomy alone, emphasizing the important role of adjuvant treatments, including postoperative radiation therapy, in patients with early-stage breast cancer at diagnosis."

04/01/1999 - "Formerly, most of these cancers were cured by mastectomy but the dramatic change in frequency has prompted interest in the role of conservation treatment. "
01/01/1976 - "However, a more detailed analysis, according to certain prognostic features, showed that extended mastectomy improved the results in one subgroup: cancers of inner or medial quadrants, axillary N+. Within this group the difference was highly significant for a smaller subgroup (190 patients) including only tumors T1 and T2. "
11/16/2023 - "After further stratification, only mastectomy patients who received chemotherapy exhibited improved role functioning compared to patients those who did not undergo chemotherapy. Providing social and physical support postoperatively and monitoring patients for cancer worry, or other symptoms in the long-term survivorship period would be important to ensure optimal QoL."
05/01/2015 - "Of these, the only proven benefit is to facilitate the surgical approach, either by converting an inoperable cancer to one that is operable, or by converting a patient who is felt to be a candidate for mastectomy to one who might be treated successfully with breast conserving therapy. "
01/01/2019 - "Due to the well-documented aggressive behavior of this particular type of cancer, bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction would be more beneficial for this kind of high-risk patients. "

11/01/2020 - "The postoperative protocol with free shoulder ROM on the 15th day after surgery is safe and beneficial in terms of kinetic-functional recovery and pain control for patients after mastectomy and immediate implant-based reconstruction. "
01/01/2022 - "The present randomised trial examined the efficacy of PECS I/II with a higher dose of the local anaesthetic to manage perioperative pain after mastectomy in Brazil. "
01/01/2017 - "Evidence to support the argument that general anesthesia (GA) with paravertebral block (PVB) provides better pain relief for mastectomy patients than GA alone is contradictory. "
01/01/2020 - "US guided ESPB is quite effective in reducing perioperative pain in patients undergoing mastectomy. "
09/01/2016 - "Fat grafting is a safe and effective technique for alleviating persistent pain after mastectomy."

02/01/2016 - "A prospective cohort study was undertaken to compare three methods of assessing mastectomy flap viability following skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate reconstruction to determine which is most effective in reducing mastectomy flap necrosis. "
01/01/2020 - "Advantages include improved prosthetic coverage, allowing for immediate reconstruction to a larger size with reduced concern regarding mastectomy skin necrosis and threat to the device, optimal implant camouflage, and improved substrate for secondary fat grafting if necessary. "
01/01/2023 - "Although mastectomy skin flap necrosis occurs at a significantly greater rate after immediate autologous reconstruction, it can often be managed conservatively."
01/01/2023 - "Analysis of cumulative complications from all reconstructive surgeries revealed that the immediate reconstruction group still experienced significantly greater cumulative rates of mastectomy skin flap necrosis. "
02/01/2022 - "Inframammary fold incisions were associated with significantly greater rates of mastectomy skin flap necrosis (p = 0.002), whereas periareolar incisions were associated with significantly greater rates of postoperative nipple-areola complex necrosis (p = 0.04). "

10/01/2018 - "For the 1252 pairs of patients matched using propensity score matching, the BCS plus RT groups enjoyed significantly greater 5-year overall survival (99.1% vs. 96.1%; P = .001), distant metastasis-free survival (97.0% vs. 92.2%; P < .001), and disease-free survival (95.3% vs. 90.2%; P = .001) compared with the mastectomy group. "
06/01/2020 - "With a view to retaining the gains made in disease-free and overall survival, surgical techniques have advanced from radical surgery to conservative mastectomies, thus reducing sequelae, while adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies have contributed toward controlling the disease, both distant metastases and local recurrence. "
09/01/1986 - "In all patients both the histological grade and oestrogen receptor (ER) status of primary tumour tissue; the lymph node stage and menopausal status at mastectomy and the disease-free interval and sites of initial metastases are available for analysis. "
07/15/1978 - "In the presence of occult gross metastases detected by staging laparotomy, mastectomy will not provide additional protection against loca recurrence of disease. "
01/01/1977 - "Neither the presence of metastases nor myelolipomatous changes were associated with a long disease-free interval, a long period from mastectomy to adrenalectomy, or a prolonged postadrenalectomy survival. "
