Simultaneous cutaneous melanoma and ipsilateral breast cancer with metastasis to the same axilla. A case report with a focus on a multidisciplinary approach.

Introduction And Importance: Treatment of simultaneously occurring primary malignancies with separate lymphatic drainage is a surgical and medical challenge. We present a patient in which multidisciplinary management of coexisting melanoma and breast cancer was mandatory for optimal results.

Case Presentation: A 67-year-old female had a primary surgical resection for a skin lesion on the back.

Extensive clinical testing of Deep Learning Segmentation models for thorax and breast cancer radiotherapy planning.

Background: The performance of deep learning segmentation (DLS) models for automatic organ extraction from CT images in the thorax and breast regions was investigated. Furthermore, the readiness and feasibility of integrating DLS into clinical practice were addressed by measuring the potential time savings and dosimetric impact.

Material And Methods: Thirty patients referred to radiotherapy for breast cancer were prospectively included.

Surface-guided positioning eliminates the need for skin markers in radiotherapy of right sided breast cancer: A single center randomized crossover trial.

Background And Purpose: To prospectively investigate whether surface guided setup of right sided breast cancer patients can increase efficiency and accuracy compared to traditional skin marker/tattoo based setup.

Material And Methods: Twenty-five patients were included in this study. Each patient was positioned using skin marks and tattoos (procedure A) for half of the fractions and surface guidance using AlignRT (procedure B) for the other half of the fractions.

Do Breast Cancer Patients Manage to Participate in an Outdoor, Tailored, Physical Activity Program during Adjuvant Breast Cancer Treatment, Independent of Health and Socio-Demographic Characteristics?

Exercise could reduce the side-effects of adjuvant breast cancer treatment; however, socio-demographic, health, and intervention conditions may affect patients' adherence to interventions. This study aimed to examine adherence to a 12-month outdoor post-surgery exercise program among newly diagnosed breast cancer patients during adjuvant treatment, and to identify socio-demographic and health-related predictors. In total, 47 women with invasive breast cancer stage I-II or ductal/lobular carcinoma grade 3 were included pre-surgery and randomized two weeks post-surgery to exercise (2 × 60 min/week).

Effects of a 1-Year Physical Activity Intervention on Markers of Hemostasis among Breast Cancer Survivors: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

 Physical activity may reduce the development of breast cancer. Whereas hypercoagulability has been linked to adverse outcomes in breast cancer patients, the effects of physical activity on their hemostatic factors are unknown. The study aimed to assess whether long-term (1 year) physical activity can affect hemostatic factors in breast cancer patients.
