Prelude to malignancy: A gene expression signature in normal mammary gland from breast cancer patients suggests pre-tumorous alterations and is associated with adverse outcomes.

Despite advances in early detection and treatment strategies, breast cancer recurrence and mortality remain a significant health issue. Recent insights suggest the prognostic potential of microscopically healthy mammary gland, in the vicinity of the breast lesion. Nonetheless, a comprehensive understanding of the gene expression profiles in these tissues and their relationship to patient outcomes remain missing.

Did the COVID-19 Pandemic Truly Adversely Affect Disease Progress and Therapeutic Options in Breast Cancer Patients? A Single-Centre Analysis.

Purpose: The uncontrolled spread and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infections has disrupted most areas of social and economic life all over the world. The most important changes concern problems related to the functioning of healthcare systems. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical consequences associated with the COVID-19 pandemic for patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer, treated at our centre.

Clinical relevance of a degree of extracapsular extension in a sentinel lymph node in breast cancer patients: a single-centre study.

In some breast cancer (BC) patients, an examination of lymph nodes dissected during sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) demonstrates a presence of metastatic lesions and extracapsular extension (ECE) in a SLN. This study aimed to evaluate clinical relevance of ECE in BC patients. This is a retrospective analysis of 891 patients with cancer metastases to SLN, referred to supplementary axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), hospitalized between Jan 2007 and Dec 2017.

Application of three-dimensional ultrasonography (3D ultrasound) to pretreatment evaluation of plastic induration of the penis (Peyronie's disease).

Aim: Peyronie's disease (PD) or plastic induration of the penis, require complete evaluation of plaques in order to decide the best therapeutic option for patient. The purpose of this study is to compare the findings of three-dimensional ultrasound (3D US) and two-dimensional ultrasound (2D US) in patients with PD.

Materials And Methods: Twenty patients with PD aged 30 to 72 years were included in study.

Failure of sentinel lymph node mapping in breast cancer patients qualified for treatment sparing axillary lymph nodes-Clinical importance and management strategy-One-center analysis.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a standard in diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients with nonadvanced invasive breast cancer. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the clinical importance of the failure of sentinel lymph node (SLN) identification during SLNB performed to spare axillary lymph nodes. A total of 5396 patients with invasive breast cancer qualified for SLNB, treated in a period from Jan 2004 to June 2018.

Analysis of the causes of false negative and false positive results of preoperative axillary ultrasound in patients with early breast cancer - a single-centre study.

Introduction: Properly planned and performed diagnostic tests allow the optimal treatment option to be chosen for the patient. They also allow qualification for the correct surgical procedure.

Aim Of The Study: In this study we evaluated the clinical value of preoperative ultrasound scan (USS) testing performed during primary disease staging in patients with early breast cancer qualified to sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB).
