Oncological safety of stromal vascular fraction enriched fat grafting in two-stage breast reconstruction after nipple sparing mastectomy: long-term results of a prospective study [PDF]
, 2018 OBJECTIVE: Autologous fat transfer (AFT) is commonly used to treat implant palpability and prevent fibrosis and thinning in mastectomy skin flaps.

Computer Aided Detection of Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforators in Computed Tomography Angiography scans [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 The deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEAP) flap is the most common free flap used for breast reconstruction after a mastectomy. It makes use of the skin and fat of the lower abdomen to build a new breast mound either at the same time of the mastectomy or in a second surgery.

Systematic review of therapeutic nipple‐sparing versus skin‐sparing mastectomy
BJS Open, 2018 The use of nipple‐sparing mastectomy (NSM) is increasing, despite unproven oncological safety in the therapeutic setting. The aim of this systematic review was to determine the safety and efficacy of NSM compared with skin‐sparing mastectomy (SSM).

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.What's New? Women with metastatic breast cancer often experience non‐life‐threatening but unpleasant symptoms, including low sexual enjoyment and vaginal dryness, but these symptoms have not been well‐studied and treatments are lacking. Here, the authors conducted a large, multinational randomized controlled trial of exercise in women with metastatic ...

Numerics on the trajectory of nodule displacements by external compressions of the breast [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We present a fast and reliable algorithm that gives precise location of breast tumours for a partial mastectomy. Our algorithm is fully implemented in the Surface Evolver, which is a general-purpose simulator of physical experiments. By starting from the X-rays images that show a tumour one takes its 2D coordinates in each view.

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.What's New? Body mass index (BMI) potentially influences outcomes among women with early‐stage breast cancer (EBC). Little is known, however, about relationships between BMI and disease prognosis for different adjuvant taxane‐based chemotherapies. Here, the prognostic effect of BMI on disease recurrence was evaluated among EBC patients treated with ...

The iBRA (implant breast reconstruction evaluation) study: protocol for a prospective multi-centre cohort study to inform the feasibility, design and conduct of a pragmatic randomised clinical trial comparing new techniques of implant-based breast reconstruction. [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) is the most commonly performed reconstructive procedure in the UK. The introduction of techniques to augment the subpectoral pocket has revolutionised the procedure, but there is a lack of high ...
