Breast cancer localization by iodine seed 125I vs. wire- -guided localization - retrospective case-control study.

Introduction: For many years, the gold standard in the localization of non-palpable malignant breast tumors has been the use of wire-guided method. However, this has recently been replaced by more modern localization techniques in many institutions.

Methods: This is a retrospective case-control study comparing two localization techniques (iodine seed 125I and wire-guided localization) for localizing non-palpable tumors in patients with histologically verified breast carcinoma.

Symptomatic Calcifications after Mastectomy: A Rare Case Report with a Review of the Literature.

: Symptomatic calcifications of the breast or skin after breast cancer surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy are a rare entity, with only a few case reports published worldwide, reducing the patient's quality of life, whilst asymptomatic calcifications are a common finding on imaging methods. : Herein, we present a rare case report of calcifications after mastectomy and post-mastectomy radiation therapy causing chronic inflammation with ulceration and fistula formation, with a two-step surgical approach consisting of excision with linear suture and excision with the reconstruction using a thoraco-epigastric flap. : To our knowledge, this is the first publication proving the feasibility of this therapy in patients with symptomatic dystrophic calcifications of the skin or the breast.

Primary Breast Sarcoma: A Two-Centre Analysis and Review of Literature.

Introduction: Primary breast sarcoma is a very rare malignant type of breast tumours with an incidence of 0.1% of all primary breast malignancies.

Methods: We present a retrospective analysis of the case series from two hospitals in the Czech Republic with a review of the diagnostic and treatment approach to primary breast sarcomas with an analysis of published prognostic factors.

Ideal marker for targeted axillary dissection (IMTAD): a prospective multicentre trial.

Background: Targeted axillary dissection (TAD) is an established method for axillary staging in patients with breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). TAD consists of sentinel lymph node biopsy and initially pathological lymph node excision, which must be marked by a reliable marker before NAC.

Methods: The IMTAD study is a prospective multicentre trial comparing three localisation markers for lymph node localisation (clip + iodine seed, magnetic seed, carbon suspension) facilitating subsequent surgical excision in the form of TAD.

Comparison of 3 Different Systems for Non-wire Localization of Lesions in Breast Cancer Surgery.

Purpose: Localizing breast lesions by marking tumors and their detection using probes during surgery is a common part of clinical practice. Various nonwire localization systems were intended to be compared from different perspectives.

Methods: Various measurement experiments were performed.

Level I axillary dissection in patients with breast cancer and tumor-involved sentinel lymph node after NAC is not sufficient for adequate nodal staging.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate the oncological sufficiency of level I axillary dissection for adequate histological nodal staging (ypN) in patients with breast cancer and tumor-involved sentinel lymph node (SLN) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

Material And Methods: A prospective multicentre pilot study took place from 01.01.

Incidence of postoperative complications in patients with breast cancer depending on the type of drain.

Introduction: Postoperative complications in patients with breast cancer delay the initiation of adjuvant therapy, prolong the length of hospitalization and reduce the patients' quality of life. Although their incidence can be influenced by many factors, the connection with the type of drain is insufficiently studied in the literature. The aim of this study was to assess whether there is an association between the use of a different drainage system and the occurrence of postoperative complications.

The first case report of multiple thoracic vertebrae fractures caused by a low-voltage electric shock.

Background: This paper describes a unique case-the first case of multiple fractures of the thoracic vertebrae caused by a low-voltage electric shock.

Case Presentation: A 22-year-old male patient was diagnosed with compression fractures of Th2-Th6 caused by a muscle spasm resulting from an electric shock. The patient was treated conservatively using a cervico-thoracic support corset.

Radiation-associated angiosarcoma of the breast: An international multicenter analysis.

Introduction: Radiation-associated angiosarcoma (RAAS) is a rare and serious complication of breast irradiation. Due to the rarity of the condition, clinical experience is limited and publications on this topic include only retrospective studies or case reports.

Materials And Methods: All patients diagnosed with RAAS between January 2000 and December 2017 in twelve centers across the Czech Republic and Slovakia were evaluated.

Magnetic Seed (Magseed) Localisation in Breast Cancer Surgery: A Multicentre Clinical Trial.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the Magseed magnetic marker in breast cancer surgery.

Methods: Thirty-nine patients with 41 implanted Magseeds undergoing surgical treatment in 3 surgical oncology departments were included in the retrospective trial to study pilot use of the Magseed magnetic marker in the Czech Republic for localisation of breast tumours or pathological axillary nodes in breast cancer patients.

Results: Thirty-four breast cancer and 7 pathological lymph node localisations were performed by Magseed implantation.

The importance of sentinel lymph node biopsy following neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer: prospective multicentre trial.

Introduction: The role of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is currently under discussion. The aim of our study was to determine the false negativity rate (FNR) of SLNB, the accuracy of ultrasound examination in the evaluation of the status of lymph nodes and the accuracy of perioperative cryobiopsy of the sentinel lymph node (SLN).

Methods: Prospective multicentre study, which took place in years 20182020 at three centres in the Czech Republic.

Harmonic scalpel versus traditional ligation in axillary dissection for breast cancer: a retrospective multivariate analysis.

Introduction: The aim of this pilot retrospective study is to evaluate the complication rate in patients after axillary dissection comparing preparation with harmonic scalpel vs traditional ligation technique, and to analyse risk factors for complications occurrence.

Methods: 144 patients with 148 axillary dissections operated in a single centre between January 2014 and 2019 were included into the study. Axillary dissection was performed using harmonic scalpel in 73 and absorbable ligations in 70 cases.

Sebaceous carcinoma of the breast area a case report.

Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor of the sebaceous glands. Sebaceous carcinoma occurs mainly in the head and neck region, rarely in trunk.  Case report: We present a case report of 63-year-old patient, operated on for sebaceous carcinoma in the right breast area.

Magnetic marker localisation in breast cancer surgery.

Since mammographic screening programmes were initiated, the spectrum of breast cancer has changed in terms of impalpable tumours, thus causing the development of new localisation methods, including magnetic markers. We offer herein an up-to-date review focused on two magnetic markers (Magseed, MaMaLoc) currently used in breast cancer surgery for the localisation of breast tumours or pathological axillary nodes. Magnetic marker localisation presents a safe and reliable method for breast tumour marking.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patient with situs viscerum inversus totalis and gallbladder empyema - a case report.

The case report presents the successful performance of laparoscopic cholecystectomy for situs viscerum inversus totalis in a female patient with chronic cholecystitis and cholecystolithiasis and summarizes current knowledge and approaches to this issue. Gallbladder empyema was found perioperatively, which has only been published once in a similar case before. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in situs viscerum inversus totalis is a safe method to remove the gallbladder.
