A case report is presented demonstrating the utility of skin-sparing mastectomy and autologous breast reconstruction for locally recurrent PT of the breast, with a literature review of management options in this setting presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Metastatic workup.• Routine blood investigations.• Pre-anesthetic evaluation.• Control of medical conditions like diabetes and hypertension.• Counseling and written informed consent.• Parts preparation- neck to mid thigh including pelvic region, axilla [slideshare.net]

Several tests, such as routine blood workup, urinalysis, and electrocardiogram ( ECG ), may be performed a few days before the surgery. Before the surgery, the anesthesiologist examines the woman and reviews the test results. [emedicinehealth.com]

MRI, the use of MRI, regardless of whether a contralateral cancer is detected or not, has been associated with a higher rate of CPM.8,9 It is hypothesized that this may be related to the fact that imaging findings, even if benign, may require further workup [gotoper.com]

Treatments could reduce the risk of recurrence Young women who undergo mastectomies should be given drugs to restrict blood supply to cancer cells, research suggests. [news.bbc.co.uk]

In addition, a societal perspective was used to estimate quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) following either treatment for a period of 30 years. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Generally, the prognosis is favorable; a mastectomy is required as the treatment of choice. She will then need multiple PET scans each year for five years. [fox43.com]

[…] and Predictive Factors Factors that correlate well with prognosis include the following:[ 5, 15 ] Size of the lesion. [cancer.gov]

As discussed above, unmeasured patient selection factors related to cancer prognosis and access to care may explain the higher mortality observed with unilateral mastectomy. [doi.org]

Multiple factors should be considered including family history, patient age, comorbidities, and tumor prognosis, as well as the initial plan for surgery, systemic therapy, and radiotherapy. [link.springer.com]

Approximately 90% of ND is of benign etiology. An underlying carcinoma is present with a rate of 6% to 21%. This is more frequent if it is associated with clinical or radiologic abnormality. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

METHODS: We selected women ( 50 years of age) from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database diagnosed with stage T1-2, N0-1, M0 primary breast cancer with invasive lobular features between 1998 and 2011, that were treated with either [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
