Breast surgery has advanced from complete removal of the breast (mastectomy) to breast-conserving surgery with oncoplastic procedures. These advancements provide better cosmetic outcomes and early recovery. Women diagnosed with early breast cancer can undergo breast-conserving surgery and resume their routin...
There are five different stages of breast cancer. The proliferation of breast cells can start in different areas of breast, e.g., ducts, lobules, and tissues lie in between them. Stage zero breast cancer is non-invasive ductal carcinoma in situ DCIS, whereas stage 1 through stage 4 is ...
In the U.S., prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and is the second leading cause of cancer death in men (the first beinglung cancer). One man in 7 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. In many cases it can be a slow moving disease and does not re...
There is no country level summary data in Ethiopia on what proportion of breast cancer is detected in the early-stages in Ethiopia [9,10,11,12]. Therefore, the aim of this study is to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the proportion of early-stage breast cancer at ...
Given that vaccines are drugs, immunoprevention can be also defined as a type of chemoprevention that acts through the immune system [13]. Secondary prevention aims at limiting cancer progression toward malignancy, through interventions targeted at early stages of tumor onset. Early diagnosis is the...
Cancer screening is integral to cancer prevention and control, particularly in colorectal and breast cancers. There is increasing concern regarding the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer mortality, as the evidence suggests that the number of patients presenting at late, incurable stages is in...
Design, Setting, and Participants A total of 1901 women newly diagnosed with stages 0 to II breast cancer between July 2013 and September 2014 (response rate, 71.0%) were accrued through 2 population-based Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registries (Georgia and Los Angeles County, Cal...
Studies suggest that adiposity in childhood may reduce the risk of breast cancer in later life. The biological mechanism underlying this effect is unclear but is likely to be independent of body size in adulthood. Using a Mendelian randomization framewor
Objective To determine whether CTC status is predictive of radiotherapeutic benefit in early-stage breast cancer. Design, Setting, and Participants The cohort studies in the present analysis included patients with stages pT1 to pT2 and pN0 to pN1 breast cancer and known CTC status from the Nati...
Moreover, the long-term use of bisphosphonates reduced the risk of breast cancer deaths by some 60 percent. As with other studies investigating the use of bisphosphonates in breast cancer, the benefits appear constrained to early-stage (stages 0tostage 3a) malignancies. Women with advanced cancer...
