Preservation versus dissection of the intercostobrachial nerve for breast cancer surgeries: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis revealed that the preservation of the ICBN has a significant effect on the disturbance of sensory parameters of hypaesthesia and anaesthesia when compared to its dissection. Further studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to precisely compare both techniques on a wider range of parameters.PMID:38333310 | PMC:PMC10849353 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001622 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Identification, Evaluation, and Management of Post-breast Surgery Pain Syndrome
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThe purpose of this review is to provide a practical framework for the diagnosis and treatment of post-breast surgery pain syndrome.Recent FindingsThere has been increasing evidence that nerve blocks, regional anesthetic blocks, and surgeries including fat grafting and targeted muscle reinnervation may be effective in treating post-breast surgery pain syndrome.SummaryPost-breast surgery pain syndrome is identified as clinically affecting the upper extremity and chest wall on the post-surgical side. There are several treatment options including topicals, oral medications, therapeutic interventions, ...

Somatic mutations in a multigene panel and impact on prognosis based on TP53 status in Chinese HER2 ‐positive patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy: A single‐institution retrospective cohort
ConclusionsThe genetic mutation profiles of Chinese HER2+ patients who received NAT were discrepant with respect to HR status or DFS events. TP53 mutations have significant prognostic value in patients with NAT for HER2-positive BC and patients benefit differently depending on HR status, the neoadjuvant regimen and response, which highlights the significance of genetic factors in treatment customization based on individual genetic and clinical characteristics.

Differential Preferences in Breast Aesthetics by Self-Identified Demographics Assessed on a National Survey
This study aimed to assess how perceptions of the ideal breast differ between respondents stratified by self-identified demographic factors. A cohort of 25 patients from the senior surgeon ’s practice presenting for breast surgery was assembled. Pre-operative anteroposterior photographs of these patients were distributed via Qualtrics (Seattle, WA) to a large sample designed to be representative of the demographics of the United States.

Extreme oncoplasty: past, present and future
Breast surgery has evolved from mastectomy to breast-conserving surgery (BCS). Breast oncoplastic surgery later emerged with the inclusion and development of techniques used in plastic surgery for breast neoplasms. Recently, a new paradigm has been considered for mastectomy candidates with large multifocal and multicentric tumours, designated extreme oncoplasty (EO), which has allowed new techniques to be applied to tumours that would have been ineligible for BCS before. There are few publications and no uniform descriptions grouping all the technical possibilities and new indications together. We performed this a review w...

Novel Prevention Approaches of Breast Cancer Surgery Related Complications: Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSION: This systematic review and network meta-analysis provide a comprehensive evaluation of interventions for PMPS, highlighting their varying efficacy in alleviating pain and improving functional outcomes and quality of life. However, further research with large-scale, well-designed RCTs is warranted to strengthen the evidence base and validate the effectiveness of these interventions in managing PMPS effectively.PMID:38285764 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.1.9 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention)
