Aesthetic breast surgery is the most common body surgery at Bagatin Polyclinic. During 2020 and 2021, altogether 274 cosmetic surgeries were performed on the breasts. This included breast augmentation, breast augmentation and lifting operations, in a ratio of 2 to 1.According to statistics from the American Association of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), in 2020 breast augmentation with implants was ranked fifth of all cosmetic surgeries performedand the second largest body surgery immediately after liposuction, with 193,073 procedures done. In addition to these procedures, breast augmentation (87,051) and breast reduction (33,574) procedures were also popular. Due to the increased interestin these procedures and their high daily percentage of operating programs, adequate analgesia and recovery of patients, who undergo these cosmetic breast corrections, areimportant. Today, it is no longer enough for an operation to go well and the patients to have good results. It is also important that the procedure itself, from induction of anesthesia to early and late recovery, allows for a quick return to daily activities and work.

Natural killer (NK) cells can control metastasis through cytotoxicity and IFN-γ production independently of T cells in experimental metastasis mouse models. The inverse correlation between NK activity and metastasis incidence supports a critical role for NK cells in human metastatic surveillance. However, autologous NK cell therapy has shown limited benefit in treating patients with metastatic solid tumors.

Purpose: The survival rate of breast cancer for women in low- and middle-income countries is poor compared with that in high-income countries. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) combined with deep learning could potentially be a suitable solution enabling early detection of breast cancer. We aim to improve a classification network dedicated to classifying POCUS images by comparing different techniques for increasing the amount of training data.

Doxorubicin (DOXO) is a primary treatment for breast cancer but can cause cardiotoxicity in over 25% of patients within the first year post-chemotherapy. Recognizing at-risk patients before DOXO initiation offers pathways for alternative treatments or early protective actions. We analyzed data from 78 Brazilian breast cancer patients, with 34.

Triple‑negative breast cancer (TNBC), a highly malignant breast cancer subtype with a pronounced metastatic propensity, forms the focus of the present investigation. MDA‑MB‑231, a prevalently utilized TNBC cell line in cancer research, was employed. In accordance with the tumour angiogenesis theory, cancer cells are capable of instigating angiogenesis and the formation of a novel vascular system within the tumour microenvironment, which subsequently sustains malignant proliferation and metastasis.

Background: Nitric oxide (NO) is a low-toxicity and high-efficiency anticancer treatment that can augment the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin (DOX) towards breast cancer cells, thereby exhibiting a favorable effect on chemotherapy sensitization.
Objective: The study aimed to establish a hydrogel that sensitizes chemotherapy by inducing local inflammatory stimulation to change the tumor microenvironment and promote NO production. The purpose of the study was to examine the anti-tumor effect in vivo and in vitro.
