Riphah International University, Lahore, Pakistan.
The quasi-experimental study was conducted at the Allied Hospital, Faisalabad to investigate the effect of complex decongestive physical therapy on sensory testing in postmastectomy- related lymphoedema patients. The sample comprised 18 participants enrolled using convenience sampling technique. All the participants received complex decongestive physical therapy during 5 sessions per week for 3 weeks.

Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM) provides mechanical and soft tissue support in implant-based breast reconstruction, and has shown to modulate the healing response. However, skin flap necrosis, edema, and previous radiation therapy can hinder ADM integration. Effective biomaterial integration requires regulating the immune response, fibrosis, and adipocyte-driven functionalization.

Lymphedema is a chronic and debilitating condition characterized by an abnormal buildup of protein-rich fluid in the interstitial tissue, leading to the development of edema and tissue structural alterations. Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) remains a significant healthcare burden because it can develop within days and up to 11-years after the surgery. Specifically, axillary lymph node dissection leads to 30-50 % upper limb lymphedema, which involves the accumulation of protein-rich fluid.

Mammary gland tumors represent the most frequently diagnosed malignant neoplasm in intact female dogs, and surgical removal represents the current gold standard treatment. To promote wound healing and prevent possible bacterial contamination, perioperative antimicrobials are commonly used in clinical practice, even though there are no publications establishing guidelines for the use of such drugs in canine mastectomy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the ameliorative effect of fluorescent light energy on the quality of the healing process after mastectomy surgery in female dogs, in the absence of perioperative antimicrobial administration.

Breast cancer treatment encompasses various therapeutic modalities, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Breast-conserving surgery has been an integral part of breast cancer management. However, radiotherapy, an important component of breast cancer management, can lead to complications, particularly fibrosis, affecting reconstructive surgery outcomes.
