PubMed, Medline, and Embase databases were searched between 1998 and 2016 using the MeSH terms and keywords “reduction mammoplasty (mammaplasty)”, “breast reduction”, “obesity”, “body weight”, “body mass index” and “risk factor”. Among 26 studies that reported surgical complication ...
and Cochrane Library databases. Studies were selected if they included Asian breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and contained data for qualitative or quantitative analyses. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale. Following the random effec...
A within-trial cost-consequence and cost-utility analysis from a societal perspective will be performed using patient-level data on outcomes and resource use. The latter will be valued in monetary terms using country-specific unit costs or patient valuations. A budget impact analysis will be perfor...
Tibor Tot has given me an unusual opportunity via his request to summarize my work in computed tomography (CT), which indeed since 1977 has been directed toward eliminating the scourge of breast cancer via search and destroy of premetastasis tumors, inst
(CAD 758; 95% CI: 404 to 1118); however, the cost difference per breast cancer was only slightly higher (2.5%) by CAD 1093 (95% CI: −1337 to CAD 3760). Understanding that associated costs of annual compared to biennial screening may balance out by age and outcome can assist ...

Given the reduction in the number of patients eligible for T-DM1 adjuvant therapy with improved pCR rates, the authors concluded that adding neoadjuvant P was cost-neutral [35]. Given the potential for cardiac dysfunction with trastuzumab—and, in particular, with anthracycline-containing chemotherapy...

THz imaging is useful for quick imaging during surgery, with clear differentiation between peritumoral and cancerous cells, and provides accurate boundary margins (thickness between cancer and normal cells) to the surgeon to aid in the removal of unhealthy cells [4]. The THz radiation source is...
