Introduction: Radiation-associated angiosarcoma (RAAS) is a rare and serious complication of breast irradiation. Due to the rarity of the condition, clinical experience is limited and publications on this topic include only retrospective studies or case reports.
Materials And Methods: All patients diagnosed with RAAS between January 2000 and December 2017 in twelve centers across the Czech Republic and Slovakia were evaluated.
Introduction: Since the first breast conservative surgery following neoadjuvant oncotherapy performed in the 1990s, there has been a shift in indications, diagnostic, surgical and oncotherapeutic procedures. The aim of the study is to present the results of the comprehensive treatment of patients with breast conservative surgery performed after neoadjuvant oncologic treatment for breast cancer at our department of surgery.
Method: A retrospective study involving 96 patients operated on at our department between 2004 and 2013.
