Objectives: To conduct a review of evidence about papillomatosis/multiple papillomas (MP), its clinical and imaging presentation, the association between MP and malignancy and the management strategies that follow.
Methods: A computerized literature search using PubMed and Google Scholar was performed up to January 2021 with the following search strategy: "papilloma" OR "intraductal papilloma" OR "intraductal papillary neoplasms" OR "papillomatosis" OR "papillary lesion" AND "breast". Two authors independently conducted a search, screening and extraction of data from the eligible studies.
Purpose: To analyse the influence of tumor volume/breast volume ratio (TV/BV ratio) measured on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other factors on surgeons' choice between large volume displacement oncoplastic surgery (LVOS) versus mastectomy (M) in patients with large sized tumors. Secondly, we investigate the predictive value of TV/BV ratio and other possible predictors for cosmetic results.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 80 MRI examinations performed on 77 breast cancer patients who underwent M (58 breasts, 72.
Anthracycline and trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity in breast cancer.

Objective: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. In the last twenty years early diagnosis, neoadjuvant and adjuvant systemic treatment that targeted to specific molecular targets have significantly reduced the mortality from breast cancer. However, the increase in survival has allowed to observe the cardiotoxic effects of anticancer therapy and increased mortality from cardiovascular causes, resulting in a large literature where experts try to identify the correct management of this critical problem.

Case Presentation: We report a case of a 49-year-old white man with a penile squamous cell carcinoma previously treated with partial penectomy and bilateral inguinal lymph node dissection, followed by adjuvant therapy.
Article Synopsis
- * Greater early detection through improved diagnostics and screening has led to more patients being eligible for breast-conserving techniques, which are also being applied in some cases of locally advanced tumors after chemotherapy.
- * Recent advances, like oncoplastic techniques and less aggressive axillary staging methods, such as sentinel node biopsy, have been introduced, though challenges and controversies surrounding surgical options and axillary treatment remain.
