Does Breast Surgery Type Alter Incidental Axillary Irradiation? A Dosimetric Analysis of the "Sentinel Envahi et Randomisation du Curage" SERC Trial.

Background: An incidental axillary dose of adjuvant radiotherapy using tangential beams is usually given after breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer. The goal of this sub-study was to evaluate this incidental dose in the setting of post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) according to two different radiotherapy techniques.

Methods: Patients participating in a randomized SERC trial who received PMRT in a single center were included.

Postoperative Outcomes of Pre-Pectoral Versus Sub-Pectoral Implant Immediate Breast Reconstruction.

Introduction: Immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) techniques are rapidly evolving. We compared the results from a single-center implant IBR cohort between subpectoral and prepectoral implants with and without a mesh.

Methods: We analyzed all complications and grade 2-3 complications, the implant loss rate, the surgery time, the length of stay (LOS), patient satisfaction, the interval time to adjuvant therapy and cost, with a comparison between subpectoral and prepectoral implant IBR.
