AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aims to validate the importance of the oncoplastic approach in modern breast-conserving surgery, specifically in a suburban hospital setting.
  • The authors performed oncoplastic techniques in 60 cases, highlighting various conservative surgery methods and reshaping techniques, including upper, medial, and lower pedicle approaches.
  • The conclusion underscores that breast surgeons should be well-versed in oncoplastic methods while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team to provide personalized treatment, ensuring both oncological safety and optimal cosmetic outcomes for patients.

Article Abstract

Aim: To confirm that oncoplastic approach to cancer is a fundamental part of modern breast conserving surgery also in a suburban hospital.

Material Of Study: The Authors used oncoplastic techniques in 60 cases including 45 first level and 15 second level procedures: they show some cases of conservative surgery and breast reshaping with upper, medial and lower pedicle.

Discussion: Screening programs are able to identify early breast cancer; the breast conserving surgery with oncoplastic glandular reshaping should be an established custom to ensure oncological safety with the best cosmetic result.

Conclusions: The oncoplastic approach to breast cancer should be the theoretical and practical knowledge of the breast surgeon. Today in fact the breast surgeon must be a "vertical surgeon" in order to treat cancer completely, interfaced with a multidisciplinary team to ensure a personalized treatment for each patient. In this presentation the Authors want to focus on oncoplastic surgery in a medium flow suburban hospital.

Notch2 Inhibition and Kidney Cyst Growth in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease.

J Am Soc Nephrol

January 2025

Department of Pharmacology, Tianjin Key Laboratory of Inflammatory Biology, Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, Haihe Laboratory of Cell Ecosystem, Key Laboratory of Immune Microenvironment and Disease (Ministry of Education), The Province and Ministry Co-sponsored Collaborative Innovation Center for Medical Epigenetics, Key Laboratory of Experimental Hematology, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Tianjin Medical University, Tianjin, China.

Background: Notch signaling, a conserved mechanism of cell-to-cell communication, plays a crucial role in regulating cellular processes such as proliferation and differentiation in a context-dependent manner. However, the specific contribution of Notch signaling to the progression of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) remains unclear.

Methods: We investigated the changes in Notch signaling activity (Notch1-4) in the kidneys of autosomal dominant PKD (ADPKD) patients and two ADPKD mouse models (early and late onset).

Article Synopsis
  • Endoscopic-assisted breast surgery (EABS) offers better cosmetic results for breast cancer patients, but traditional axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) requires larger incisions and more retraction.
  • The proposed single-port three-dimensional endoscopic-assisted ALND (S-P 3D E-ALND) uses a minimally invasive technique with high success rates and improved visualization, analyzed from a study of 11 patients.
  • Preliminary results show 100% success without open surgery conversion, short operative times, minimal blood loss, and no significant complications over a median follow-up of 7 months, suggesting that S-P 3D E-ALND is a viable alternative for ALND.

Trichilemmal cysts, also known as pilar cysts, are commonly found on hair-bearing surfaces, such as the scalp or hairline. These are cysts that form from hair follicles and are benign. We describe an unusual case of a middle-aged lady presenting with a longstanding left-sided inframammary mass that had started growing more in the last year prior to the presentation.

Oncoplastic Breast-Conserving Surgery for Upper Inner Quadrant Breast Cancer Using Pedicled Pectoralis Major Myofascial Flap.

Cancer Manag Res

December 2024

Breast Cancer Department, Zhejiang Cancer Hospital, Hangzhou Institute of Medicine (HIM), Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, 310022, People's Republic of China.

Background: Oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery (OBCS) has emerged as a pivotal approach in the management of breast cancer, ensuring both oncological safety and aesthetic outcomes. However, challenges persist, particularly in upper inner quadrant (UIQ) tumors, where achieving satisfactory cosmetic results while preserving oncological integrity remains intricate.

Methods: 15 patients with UIQ breast cancer received OBCS using a pedicled pectoralis major myofascial flap (PMMF).
