We aimed to analyze the frequency of breast cancer relapses and their relationship with molecular and biological tumor characteristics. We studied 6,136 breast cancer patients, including 146 with relapses (Group 1) and 455 without relapses (Group 2). We divided the patients based on age, menstrual function, disease stage, histology form and grade, and molecular-biological subtype.

The study included 83 patients, 42 in the MS-TRAM-flap reconstruction group and 41 in the DIEP-flap breast reconstruction group. In the MS-TRAM-flap group, 35 patients received delayed reconstruction, and 7 received one-stage breast reconstruction, including one case of bilateral transplantation.

We examined 46 patients with stage IIIB inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) and 24 with stage IIA-IIIB breast cancer (BC) without secondary edema. Hormone receptors, Her-2/neu, Ki-67 index, VEGF, and IL-6, were determined for all patients before and after neoadjuvant treatment.

Patients were divided into three groups of 20 patients: (1) HRplus/HER2-, (2) HRplus/HERplus, and (3) HR-/HER2plus.

Energy and plastic potential dysfunction of erythrocytes and lymphocytes among people with inflammatory breast cancer, infiltrative stomach cancer, and infiltrative colon cancer is characterized by a more aggressive clinical course and poor prognosis. We explored the features of energy metabolism and phosphorus metabolism disorders in the erythrocytes and lymphocytes of patients with inflammatory breast cancer, infiltrative stomach cancer, and infiltrative colon cancer as a predicting factor in the course of the disease. 49 people were examined; the 1 group had infiltrative stomach cancer (n=17); the 2 group had infiltrative colon cancer (n=11); the 3 group had inflammatory breast cancer (n=21).

The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of primary breast reconstruction using the TRAM-flap procedure in patients with an inflammatory form of breast cancer. Our work is associated with some deviation from generally accepted standards: delayed breast reconstruction after radical mastectomy for inflammatory breast cancer.
