Autologous Fat Transplantation to the Reconstructed Breast Does not Hinder Assessment of Mammography and Ultrasound: A Cohort Study.

Background: Autologous fat transplantation (AFT) to the breast can correct defects and be a part of a breast reconstruction to achieve a better aesthetic result. The impact of AFT on the radiological evaluation and detection of cancer remains unclarified. The aim of this study is to investigate whether AFT induces lasting modifications.

The oncological safety of nipple-sparing mastectomy - a Swedish matched cohort study.

Purpose: The oncological safety of nipple-sparing mastectomy in the context of immediate breast reconstruction is debatable. Previous studies report wide variations in local recurrence rates and randomised or matched cohort study designs are lacking. The aim of this study is to compare the local recurrence rate after nipple-sparing mastectomy to that after conventional mastectomy.

Neutral effect of ultra-low-dose continuous combined estradiol and norethisterone acetate on mammographic breast density.

Objective: To compare the effects of two different ultra-low doses of continuous combined hormone therapy and placebo on mammographic breast density in postmenopausal women.

Methods: A subpopulation of 255 postmenopausal women from the CHOICE trial were randomly assigned to 0.5 mg 17beta-estradiol (E2) + 0.
