Diffuse dermal angiomatosis (DDA) is a type of reactive skin angioproliferation. Clinically, this rare disorder presents as red-violet purpuric papules and/or plaques (some with a greater tendency towards necrosis and ulceration), which can be localized in any body area, but is most often seen in
Mastalgia is a common condition that is thought to be hormonally related, but the mechanisms of pain causation are unknown. Inflammatory cytokines are implicated in pain modulation, but have not been studied with regard to mastalgia. We compared the relationship of mastalgia to the expression of the
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the incidence of fat necrosis, breast tissue fibrosis and breast pain after conserving surgery and accelerated partial-breast irradiation (APBI, group A), whole-breast external-beam irradiation (EBRT, group B), or EBRT combined with an interstitial boost (EBIB, group C) in
Persistent pain following breast cancer surgery is a significant problem. Both inherited and acquired mechanisms of inflammation appear to play a role in the development and maintenance of persistent pain. In this longitudinal study, growth mixture modeling was used to identify persistent breast
BACKGROUND Breast metastases from melanoma are rare. Amelanotic melanoma is difficult to diagnose, as primary lesions not only lack the pigment typical of melanoma, but also lack other features associated with these tumors, including asymmetry, irregular borders, and color variegation. CASE REPORT A
Half a century after the elucidation of its molecular structure, aldosterone is generating the greatest interest, not in the fields of endocrinology or renal medicine but in cardiology-where aldosterone over-activation is now perceived as detrimental in heart failure (HF) and ischaemic heart
BACKGROUND
Interstitial accelerated partial breast irradiation is generally limited to patients with extremely low risk of local recurrence.
METHODS
Between 2004 and 2008, 53 women in the early-stage of breast cancer were treated with multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy in very short general
BACKGROUND
The objective of this study was to assess the cosmesis and toxicities in patients with early-stage breast carcinoma who received treatment with accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) using interstitial brachytherapy.
METHODS
From April 1993 to December 2001, 199 patients with Stage
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate cosmesis and toxicity in early-stage breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant 3D-CRT who received accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI).
METHODS
From November 2003 to June 2006, 60 breasts on 59 patients were treated with 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy
OBJECTIVE
To examine early and late toxicities, evaluate cosmetic results, and determine the need for reoperation or additional diagnostic procedures in patients treated with accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) delivered by way of an interstitial implant in breast-conserving
OBJECTIVE
Initial Phase I/II results using balloon brachytherapy to deliver accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) in 2 days in patients with early-stage breast cancer are presented.
METHODS
Between March 2004 and August 2007, 45 patients received adjuvant radiation therapy after lumpectomy
Female breast trauma occasionally occurs while using a three-point lap-diagonal seat belt while involved in a motor vehicle collision. Breast trauma is either a crush injury or an avulsion injury. Breast traumatic injury is infrequently reported. The records and complete follow-up results from all
BACKGROUND
The adoption of breast brachytherapy into clinical practice for early-stage breast cancer has increased over the last several years. Studies evaluating complication rates following treatment with brachytherapy have shown conflicting results. We compared local toxicity in patients treated
Breast sonography is required with mammogram to explore clinical breast mass (grade B), colored unipore breast nipple discharge (grade C), or mastitis (grade C). Bi-RADS system is recommended to describe and classify breast-imaging abnormalities. For breast abscess, a percutaneous biopsy is
BACKGROUND
Gynecomastia describes a benign increase of the mammary gland in men. When medical treatment fails, the surgical procedure is the treatment of choice. There are two main surgical procedures: subdermal mastectomy and liposuction.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the results after surgical treatment
