Three-dimensional surgical margin positioning technique versus palpation-guided method for breast-conserving surgery: Feasibility, advantages, and quality of life
CONCLUSION: The 3D-MPT technique proves to be an effective and safe approach for reducing tumor positivity rates in initial surgical margins, thereby improving the quality of life for patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery in comparison to the conventional method.PMID:38548542 | DOI:10.1016/j.asjsur.2024.03.087 (Source: Asian Journal of Surgery)

Locoregional recurrence and survival of breast −conserving surgery compared to mastectomy following neoadjuvant chemotherapy in operable breast cancer
ConclusionCompared with mastectomy, BCS after NAC may not increase the risk of local recurrence or mortality, BCS can be performed in selected patients with small tumor size and good response to NAC. (Source: Frontiers in Oncology)

Personalized Radiation Therapy for Breast Cancer
Curr Oncol. 2024 Mar 20;31(3):1588-1599. doi: 10.3390/curroncol31030121.ABSTRACTBreast cancer is diagnosed in nearly 3 million people worldwide. Radiation therapy is an integral component of disease management for patients with breast cancer, and is used after breast-conserving surgery or a mastectomy to reduce the risk of a local recurrence. The following review describes the methods used to personalize radiation therapy by optimizing patient selection, using advanced treatment techniques to lessen the radiation dose to normal organs, and using hypofractionation in order to shorten the duration of radiation treatment.PMID...

The Role of Adjuvant Radiotherapy in the Treatment of Breast Cancer
Curr Oncol. 2024 Feb 24;31(3):1207-1220. doi: 10.3390/curroncol31030090.ABSTRACTThe role of postmastectomy radiotherapy and regional nodal irradiation after radical mastectomy is defined in high-risk patients with locally advanced tumors, positive margins, and unfavorable biology. The benefit of postmastectomy radiotherapy in intermediate-risk patients (T3N0 tumors) remains a matter of controversy. It has been demonstrated that radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery lowers the locoregional recurrence rate compared with surgery alone and improves the overall survival rate. In patients with four or more positive lymph ...

Impact of type 2 diabetes on complications after primary breast cancer surgery: Danish population-based cohort study
CONCLUSION: Women with breast cancer and T2D had a higher risk of complications after primary breast cancer surgery than those without T2D. A synergistic effect of T2D and co-morbidity on surgical complications can explain this association.PMID:38536933 | DOI:10.1093/bjs/znae072 (Source: The British Journal of Surgery)

Preliminary insights on the mutational spectrum of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in Pakhtun ethnicity breast cancer patients from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan
Neoplasia. 2024 Mar 26;51:100989. doi: 10.1016/j.neo.2024.100989. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGene mutations are a source of genetic instability which fuels the progression of cancer. Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 are considered as major drivers in the progression of breast cancer and their detection indispensable for devising therapeutic and management approaches. The current study aims to identify novel pathogenic and recurrent mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 in Pakhtun population from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. To determine the BRCA1 and BRCA2 pathogenic mutation prevalence in Pakhtun population from KP, whole exome sequenci...
