Article Synopsis
- Risk-reducing surgeries are key for managing hereditary cancer risks, significantly lowering the associated health issues and mortality.
- The Brazilian Society of Surgical Oncology developed guidelines to provide national standards for these surgical procedures.
- A team of experts reviewed literature and conducted discussions to create recommendations, achieving consensus on various risk-reduction surgeries like mastectomy and hysterectomy.
Background: Smoke is generated by energy-based surgical instruments. The airborne by-products may have potential health implications.
Methods: We developed a simple way to use de conventional surgical evacuator coupled with de electrosurgical pen attached to a 14G bladder catheter for open surgery.
Hemangiomas are described in many locations, but breast hemangioma (BH) is rare, accounting for only 0.4% of all breast tumors. These tumors are difficult to diagnose preoperatively using conventional imaging modalities because they lack pathognomonic characteristics.

Objective: To evaluate positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and conventional imaging tests for the detection of distant metastases in patients with locally advanced breast cancer.
Materials And Methods: We included 81 patients with breast cancer who had undergone F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT before treatment. Conventional imaging included the following: bone scintigraphy; chest X-ray (in 14.
Objective: To correlate the results of (18)F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) performed with a specific protocol for assessment of breasts with histological/immunohistochemical findings in breast carcinoma patients.
Materials And Methods: Cross-sectional study with prospective data collection, where patients with biopsy-confirmed breast carcinomas were studied. The patients underwent PET/CT examination in prone position, with a specific protocol for assessment of breasts.
Context And Objective: Chordoma is a rare tumor with a high risk of locoregional recurrences. The aim of this study was analyze the long-term results from treating this pathological condition.
Design And Setting: Cohort study in a single hospital in São Paulo, Brazil.
