Filter by:Postoperative pain is an important issue in patients underwent mastectomy and axillary dissection surgery. Postoperative effective pain treatment provides early mobilization and shorter hospital stay. The US-guided pectoral nerve block (PECS) may be used for postoperative pain treatment following breast surgery. It is a novel interfascial block that was defined by Blanco. Rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) is a novel block and was first described by Elsharkawy et al. Local anesthetic solution is administrated between the rhomboid muscle and intercostal muscles over the T5-6 ribs. It has been reported that RIB may provide effective analgesia management for several breast surgeries. The primary aim of the study is to compare postoperative opioid consumption and the secondary aim is to evaluate postoperative pain scores (VAS), adverse effects related with opioids (allergic reaction, nausea, vomiting).
This observational study evaluates scale-up of a breast cancer early detection program in Rwanda that was initially piloted in a single district. Specifically investigators will examine patient volume, service delivery, loss-to-follow-up rates, and cancer detection rates noted following implementation of scale-up to 3 additional districts. For scaleup, breast cancer screening with CBE was added to a cervical cancer screening initiative, in a combined Women's Cancer Early Detection Program (WCEDP).
The results of the evaluation of breast ultrasonography results of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome diagnosis over 30 years of age will be evaluated. Patients admitted to the outpatient clinic and rotterdam criteria according to laboratory data and polycystic ovary syndrome patients diagnosed by the same radiologist the next day after the end of menstrual breast ultrasonography. The aim of this study is to show the association of polycystic ovary syndrome and fibrocystic breast.
Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) with immediate reconstruction is one of the standard of care surgical treatments of breast cancer (BC) and is used for risk reduction in patients with a high risk for BC. While this method shows satisfactory oncologic and good cosmetic outcomes, its drawbacks include compromise of the skin flap vascularization due to skin incision, nipple-areolar complex (NAC) malposition/distortion and visible scar on the breast. NSM also has technical challenges of dissecting and removing larger specimens through limited incisions and concerns regarding oncologic effectiveness due to difficulties in visualizing regions of the breast remote from the incision. To improve cosmetic outcomes after NSM, a modification of this technique using a surgical robotic system was recently described. In a limited number of studies, the robotic NSM (RNSM) with immediate prosthetic breast reconstruction (IPBR) was shown to be feasible and safe, as well as led to excellent cosmetic outcomes and patient satisfaction. There are limited number of centers in North America and none in Canada that offer RNSM-IPBR. The investigators hypothesize that RNSM-IPBR is a feasible and safe technique that can be utilized in our institution and that it can provide superior cosmetic outcomes with less morbidity and higher patient satisfaction compared to the traditional NSM-IPBR. The aim is to conduct a single-arm prospective study to investigate the safety and feasibility, as well as cosmetic, surgical complication and patient satisfaction parameters of NSM-IPBR performed in the University Health Network (UHN). This study will serve a foundation for potential introduction of a novel surgical approach in our institution and will make it available for treatment and prevention of breast cancer in Canadian women. The study will also serve as pilot data for future potential studies, including randomized-controlled trials (RCT) comparing RNSM with conventional NSM. As such, the study will further our approach to innovation in breast surgical oncology within Canada and North America.
The purpose of this First-in-Human pilot study is to evaluate the safety and performance of REGENERA breast implant in a selected cohort of patients with non- malignant breast lesions treated with excision or lumpectomy in whom the tissue removed is replaced by REGENERA.
Benign diseases of the breast are common clinical conditions that affect young women. Complaints related to the breast often cause significant discomfort and mental stress. The following study will try to identify the risk factors that may be associated with symptomatic benign breast diseases. Identification of such factors may help preventing and / or treating these conditions.
This study is a single-arm, open-label, phase II study, comparing the efficacy and safety of pyrotinib plus trastuzumab and aromatase inhibitors, in the treatment of HR (hormone receptor)+/HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) + MBC and inoperable LABC patients.
Subjects with suspicious breast lesion (BIRADS category 4/5) who are scheduled to undergo biopsy will be recruited to undergo imaging evaluation with Contrast Enhanced Dual Energy Mammography (CEDM), Contrast Enhanced Breast MR (CEMR) and Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS).
Preference studies reveal how individuals trade-off the potential benefits, harms and inconveniences of a treatment by determining the minimum benefits they judge sufficient to make the treatment worthwhile. They are especially relevant to adjuvant therapies where individuals must weigh up modest survival benefits only realized in time by no recurrence of their cancer with side effects predominantly experienced whilst on the treatment. Previously it was reported, for example, that over 50% of women who had adjuvant chemotherapy for early breast cancer judged a 1% improvement in 5 year survival rates sufficient to make it worthwhile. Larger survival benefits were required for longer duration adjuvant hormonal therapy where over 50% of women required at least 5% improvement in 5 year survival rates to make it worthwhile.
This study is a randomized, open-label, phase II study, comparing the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab plus aromatase inhibitors, with or without pyrotinib, in the treatment of HR (hormone receptor)+/HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) + MBC and inoperable LABC patients.
