The value of a breast surgery procedure based on clinical examination, mammography, telethermography, echotomography and cytological examination for the diagnosis of symptomatic or high risk patients was tested through a retrospective survey of 28 patients with minimal breast cancer. The data confirm that mammography is a much better clinical and instrumental test than other systems. When associated with radiography it gives definite, early diagnosis of more breast neoplasias than other methods, facilitating prognosis and reducing the number of biopsies necessary.

Concentration of Povidone-Iodine Pocket Irrigation in Implant-Based Breast Surgery: A Scoping Review.

Background: In implant-based breast surgery, microbial contamination of implant surfaces predisposes complications such as overt periprosthetic infection and has been linked to capsular contracture (CC). Anti-microbial practices, including povidone-iodine (PVP-I) breast pocket irrigation, are routinely employed to minimise these risks. No standardised protocol for using this antiseptic exists, particularly concerning the ideal concentration.

For individuals at high risk of developing breast cancer, interventions to mitigate this risk include surgical removal of their breasts and ovaries or five years treatment with the anti-estrogen tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors. We hypothesized that a silicone based anti-estrogen-eluting implant placed within the breast would provide the risk reduction benefit of hormonal therapy, but without the adverse effects that limit compliance. To this end, we demonstrate that when placed adjacent to mammary tissue in the 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-induced rat breast cancer model a fulvestrant-eluting implant delays breast cancer with minimal systemic exposure.

This study explores the development of a sustainable drug delivery system using cellulose nanoparticles (CNPs) derived from potato pulp for the controlled release of phosphoaminopyrazine (PAP), a promising anticancer agent. CNPs were synthesized via nanoprecipitation, and PAP was loaded through in-situ nanoprecipitation, achieving a high loading efficiency of 79.2 %.

Nowadays, photodynamic therapy (PDT) offers a non-invasive tumor treatment with high safety profiles and minimal side effects, implying a promising clinical application for patients with malignant tumors. However, the lack of efficacy in metastasis and recurrence still notably limits its application. To solve this problem, one promising strategy is to improve the immune response activated by PDT.
