Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how neoadjuvant therapy affects hormone receptor status (estrogen and progesterone receptors) and c-erbB2 expression in breast cancer patients.
- A total of 53 patients were analyzed, comparing the expression levels of these markers in both biopsy samples and surgical specimens, particularly in those who underwent preoperative treatment.
- Significant differences were observed in hormone receptor expression between patients who received neoadjuvant therapy and those who did not, with minor changes in receptor status post-treatment, though these changes were not statistically significant.
The present state of laparoscopic surgery in colorectal diseases is presented, showing results that are superior to open surgery during the hospital stay, infection of the wound and quality of life in the first postoperative month. It is technically possible to carry out all of the techniques of colorectal resection with assisted laparoscopic surgery. The counter-indications depend above all on the state of the patient and his disease: emergency laparoscopy of the colon and rectum barely have a place in the therapeutic arsenal.
