  2. 11. Experimental Evaluation of a Microwave Tomography System for Breast Cancer Detection

    Author : Tomas Rydholm; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; tomography; microwave imaging; phantom; breast cancer;

    Abstract : Microwave tomography is a potential candidate for future breast-cancer screening or diagnosis. Contrary to x-rays, microwaves are non-ionizing and therefore not a health risk by their own. The examination procedure would also be more comfortable for the patient compared to conventional mammography since no compression of the breast is needed. READ MORE

  4. 12. Immediate breast reconstruction : patient information, regional variations and effects of radiotherapy

    Author : Carl Axel Frisell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The type of surgical treatment in breast cancer shows strong regional variation. The aim of studies I-III was to specifically investigate causes of the disparity in breast conservation and immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) rates in the six Swedish healthcare regions. READ MORE

    Keywords : Tissue expansion; capsular contraction; rapid and slow expansion; mitotic activity; epidermal thickness; skin thickness; collagen diameter; skin properties; insulin-like growth factorStockholm 1995 ISB;

    Abstract : Tissue expansion has become one of the routine methods in breast reconstruction. It is a safe and easy method, which is well accepted by the patient. Clinical reports are numerous, but morphological changes are still not thoroughly investigated. READ MORE

  6. 14. Nipple-sparing subcutaneous mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with implants in breast cancer

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

    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

  7. 15. Primary reconstruction with implants in breast cancer : aspects of oncological safety and aesthetic outcome

    Author : Catharina Eriksen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Introduction: Despite the introduction of breast conserving surgery, in Sweden mastectomy is still annually recommended to 40–50 % (about 3000) of women with breast cancer. National guidelines state that, in the absence of contraindications, these women should be offered breast reconstruction. READ MORE
