All patients diagnosed with breast cancer should be discussed within the multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting, occupied by amongst other breast surgeons, radiologists, oncologists, pathologists, and breast care nurses, to provide the most suitable and pa
Children receiving chest radiotherapy for childhood cancer have a higher risk of developing breast cancer later in life. Here, using the data from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study, the authors investigate the treatment and survival outcomes of breast cancer patients who previously survived childhood ...
The article focuses on the relationship of wound healing process with that of breast cancer. In some breast cancers, a set of genes involved in wound healing show distinct expression profiles, and these wound-response signatures can help predict the long-term health of patients. Previous work ...
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women diagnosed in the U.S. and worldwide. Obesity increases breast cancer risk without clear underlying molecular mechanisms. Our studies demonstrate that circulating adipose fatty acid binding protein (A-FABP,
Determine the stage of the cancer and whether additional treatment is necessary. Treat the cancer locally. Surgery is local therapy that can remove cancer cells in or near the breast but cannot treat breast cancer cells that have spread to other locations in the body. Cancer cells that have sp...
The tumour immune microenvironment is shaped by the crosstalk between cancer cells, immune cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and other stromal components. Although the immune tumour microenvironment (TME) serves as a source of therapeutic targets, it
Breast implants can be used to restore the shape and volume of the natural breast tissue that is removed during cancer treatment, such as mastectomy. Our surgeon offers both saline and silicone breast implants for reconstruction, each coming in different shapes and sizes. Dr. Zemmel will go ...
“with breast cancer, the reason people die is because it spread to another part of their body—they don’t die because it spread within the breast.” litton says the stage and biology of the cancer, as well as the treatment, is really what’s going to impact survival. “as far as ...
