Background: The mammalian NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin-1 family (named also silent information regulator or SIRT family, where NAD stands for "nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide" (NAD)) appears to have a dual role in several human cancers by modulating cell proliferation and death. This study examines how SIRT1 protein levels correlate with clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes in patients with breast cancer.
Methods: A total of 407 BC formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples were collected from King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Saudi Arabia.
the evolution of axillary management in breast cancer has witnessed significant changes in recent decades, leading to an overall reduction in surgical interventions. There have been notable shifts in practice, aiming to minimize morbidity while maintaining oncologic outcomes and accurate staging for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. These advancements have been facilitated by the improved efficacy of adjuvant therapies.

ALND is conventionally performed using radio frequency electrosurgery. The post-operative complications of utilizing such energy (such as prolonged drainage time, seroma, or infection) lead to prolonged recovery.
