  2. 1. Nipple-sparing subcutaneous mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with implants in breast cancer

    Author : Kristinn P Benediktsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

    Abstract : Introduction: The surgical treatment of breast cancer has changed rapidly since Halsted´s operation was generally abandoned about 50 years ago. In the 1970s partial mastectomy (PM), followed by radiotherapy (RT), was proven to be oncologically safe for smaller cancer tumours that are not multifocal. READ MORE

    Abstract : Adjuvant systemic therapy for breast cancer, the most common malignancy in females, increases survival and this has recently also been demonstrated for postoperative radiotherapy. The aims of this study were to develop an optimised radiotherapeutic technique for postoperative treatment, to analyse the association between p53 status in node-negative patients and radiotherapy, to investigate the incidence of in-breast relapses after conservative surgery and radiotherapy and to determine if positron emissiontomography could be useful for early evaluation of polychemotherapy.
