Comparison of Clinicopathological Features of Pleomorphic and Invasive Lobular Breast Carcinomas.

Purpose: Accounting for about 15% of invasive lobular carcinomas and 1% of breast carcinomas, pleomorphic lobular carcinoma is known to be a rare histological subtype of invasive lobular carcinoma. Yet, it is more aggressive and produces a worse prognosis than other breast cancers. Ultimately, the present study compares the clinicopathological features of pleomorphic and invasive lobular breast carcinomas.

Does oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery cause unnecessary additional evaluations?

Objective: Patients who have undergone breast-conserving surgery may experience fear of recurrence. Post-operative granulation tissue and fat necrosis are common issues for these patients. As a result, additional examinations may increase, which can entail increased costs and stress for patients.

The Comparative Frequency of Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema Determined by Bioimpedance Spectroscopy and Circumferential Measurements.

Objective: The survival of patients with breast cancer has prolonged due to early diagnosis and modern methods of treatment and lymphedema has become the most important morbidity secondary to the treatment of the disease. Early detection and timely intervention have potential to reduce advanced breast cancer-related lymphedema. The aims of this study were to comparatively determine the frequency of subclinical/clinical lymphedema by using prospective monitoring with bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) and circumferential measurements in a group of patients who underwent breast cancer surgery.
