Clinico-epidemiological profile of breast cancer patients and the retrospective application of Gail model 2: An Indian perspective.

AIM: To study the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients of breast cancer presenting at our center at New Delhi, India and to evaluate the applicability of Gail model 2 as a means of measuring 5-year and lifetime risk in our already diagnosed cases of breast cancer. METHODS: This was a retrospective study conducted at Lady Hardinge Medical College Hospital in New Delhi, India, between January 2011 and July 2014. Two hundred and twenty two diagnosed cases of breast cancer were included. Information was collected retrospectively on a Performa from the medical record section and the Pa

Long-term follow-up results of breast cancer patients with sentinel lymph node biopsy using periareolar injection.

BACKGROUND: Areolar injection for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in breast cancer surgery has been adopted by many institutions. However, only one study has reported the follow-up results for patients whose SLNB was performed with this injection method alone. METHODS: Three hundred eighty patients with breast cancer underwent SLNB with periareolar injection of both blue dye and radiotracer. The follow-up consisted of a physical examination every 3 months and annual mammography. RESULTS: Of 380 patients with SLNB, 261 were found to have negative sentinel lymph nodes so that no ALND was per

Missed breast carcinoma; why and how to avoid?

Introduction : Despite the advances in mammography techniques, it still has a number of limitations. It is estimated that about 10 to 25% of lesions are overlooked in mammograms out of which about two thirds are detected retrospectively by radiologists and oncologists. Causes of missed breast cancer on mammography can be secondary to many factors including those related to the patient (whether inherent or acquired), the nature of the malignant mass itself, poor mammographic techniques, provider factors or interpretive skills of radiologists and oncologists (including perception and interpretat

Effects of replacing inorganic salts of trace minerals with organic trace minerals in the diet of prepartum cows on quality of colostrum and immunity of newborn calves.

Our objectives were to evaluate the impact of supplementary trace mineral (TM) form-inorganic salts (STM; Co, Cu, Mn, Zn sulfates, and Na selenite) or organic (OTM; Co, Cu, Mn, Zn proteinates, and selenized yeast)-in the prepartum diet on quantity and quality of colostrum, passive immunity, antioxidant biomarkers, cytokine responses to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), health, and growth of newborn calves. Pregnant heifers (n = 100) and cows (n = 173) were enrolled at 45 d before calving, blocked by parity and body condition score, and allocated randomly to STM (50 heifers; 86 cows) or OTM (50 heifers

Paget's disease of the breast: the experience of the European Institute of Oncology and review of the literature.

BACKGROUND: Paget's disease of the breast is an uncommon presentation of breast malignancy, accounting for 1-3% of all the breast tumors and presents in different histopathologic patterns: in association with an underlying invasive or non invasive carcinoma, or without any underlying neoplasia. In the literature, different methods are used for the treatment. Mastectomy with or without axillary dissection has been considered as the standard treatment procedure for many years. Several studies have already shown that breast conservation with radiation therapy is an oncologically safe option. Rega

The presenting symptom signatures of incident cancer: evidence from the English 2018 National Cancer Diagnosis Audit.

BackgroundUnderstanding relationships between presenting symptoms and subsequently diagnosed cancers can inform symptom awareness campaigns and investigation strategies.MethodsWe used English National Cancer Diagnosis Audit 2018 data for 55,122 newly diagnosed patients, and examined the relative frequency of presenting symptoms by cancer site, and of cancer sites by presenting symptom.ResultsAmong 38 cancer sites (16 cancer groups), three classes were apparent: cancers with a dominant single presenting symptom (e.g. melanoma); cancers with diverse presenting symptoms (e.g. pancreatic); and can

[Wheat-grain moxibustion combined with chemotherapy inhibits tumor growth by suppressing PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in breast cancer mice].

OBJECTIVES: To observe the effect of wheat-grain moxibustion plus chemotherapy on the activities of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling and expressions of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 in mice with breast cancer, so as to explore its mechanisms underlying suppression of tumor growth. METHODS: Forty female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into blank control, model, chemotherapy, wheat-grain moxibustion (moxibustion) and moxibustion+chemotherapy groups, with 8 mice in each group. The breast cancer model was established by injecti

Pathological examination showed that 108 cases were positive for both estrogen receptor and progesterone

Plasmablastic lymphoma of the oral cavity with breast recurrence: a case report.

BackgroundPlasmablastic lymphoma is an aggressive variant of diffuse large B cell lymphoma, mostly found in the oral cavity and associated with human immunodeficiency virus. There are no clear guidelines for its treatment. Therapies more intensive than cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone are not associated with a prolonged survival. Lymphomas of the breast are rare, in one series representing 0.14% of all female breast malignancies, with diffuse large B cell lymphoma comprising up to 55% of all cases. Only one case of plasmablastic lymphoma involving the breast has been

Poland Sequence: Retrospective Analysis of 66 Cases.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: The literature reports many variations of Poland syndrome, which is a congenital disorder and a rare condition. The associated features are extremely variable, including alterations in the ipsilateral thorax and upper extremity and other malformations. This is used to designate the condition as Poland sequence (PS) because a sequence is a primary defect with a secondary cascade of structural changes. It is generally accepted that it is characterized as pathognomonic by absence/aplasia of the sternocostal aspect of the pectoralis major muscle of one side. Because it

A case of Schöpf-Schulz-Passarge syndrome presented with widespread apocrine hidrocystomas showing variable clinical features.

Dear Editor, Genodermatoses are usually diagnosed in early childhood but diagnosis may be delayed in rare cases. Schöpf-Schulz-Passarge syndrome (SSPS) first described in 1971 is a rare type of autosomal recessive ectodermal dysplasia characterized by palmoplantar keratoderma, periocular and eyelid apocrine hidrocystomas, hypodontia, hypotrichosis, and nail dystrophy (1). Fewer than 40 cases have been reported up to 2018 (2) and the number has slightly increased with subsequent case reports. We report here a 73-year-old male patient whose parents were third-degree cousins presented to dermatol

Single-Leg Spica Cast Application for Treatment of Pediatric Femoral Fracture.

Use of a single-leg spica cast for femoral fractures in ambulatory children 1 to 5 years of age facilitates care and mobilization of the patient. It may allow a shorter duration of cast treatment than is possible with a traditional one and one-half-leg spica cast, particularly in patients 1 to 3 years of age. The single-leg spica is indicated for children who are small enough to be lifted safely in the cast and who have an isolated, closed, low-energy femoral shaft fracture. The procedure consists of the following steps:Step 1: Obtain adequate sedation. General anesthesia should be used in the

Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm: A Case Report.

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is an uncommon hematological tumor originating from the precursor of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) with a persistent and progressive course of illness. Despite being an aggressive disease BPDCN has an initial indolent course manifested as skin lesions. Alongside or following the skin lesion, the extra-cutaneous manifestation develops and includes lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and hepatomegaly. The BPDCN diagnosis is mainly based on the immunophenotype.  Herein, we report the case of a 72-year-old male patient who presented with a hist

Повышение уровня информированности и знаний о раке в Йоханнесбурге и округах iLembe с помощью целенаправленных просветительских мероприятий на уровне общин: экспериментальное исследование.

В Южной Африке рак по-прежнему вызывает все большую озабоченность в области общественного здравоохранения, особенно в недостаточно обслуживаемых общинах, где различия в уровне информированности и доступе к медицинскому обслуживанию приводят к задержкам в диагностике. В рамках этого исследования была проведена оценка воздействия ориентированной на культурные особенности просветительской деятельности на основе адаптированного модуля исследований и просвещения по вопросам доступа к информации о раковых заболеваниях (c-CARE) в районах Йоханнесбурга и iLembe. Было проведено экспериментальное исслед

Therapeutic potential of Fingolimod in triple negative breast cancer preclinical models.

Surgery followed by a chemotherapy agent is the first-line treatment for breast cancer patients. Nevertheless, new targets are required for women with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in order to improve the treatment of this aggressive cancer subtype. Multiple pro-inflammatory molecules including lipid-based substances such as sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) promote cancer progression. In this preclinical study, we aim to investigate the efficacy of Fingolimod, an inhibitor of S1P / S1P receptors axis, already approved as an immunomodulator in multiple sclerosis. The impact of Fingolimod wa

Health-related quality of life for immediate versus delayed androgen-deprivation therapy in patients with asymptomatic, non-curable prostate cancer (TROG 03.06 and VCOG PR 01-03 [TOAD]): a randomised, multicentre, non-blinded, phase 3 trial.

BACKGROUND: Androgen-deprivation therapy in patients with prostate cancer who have relapsed with rising prostate-specific antigen concentration only (PSA-only relapse), or with non-curable but asymptomatic disease at diagnosis, could adversely affect quality of life at a time when the disease itself does not. We aimed to compare the effect of immediate versus delayed androgen-deprivation therapy on health-related quality of life over 5 years in men enrolled in the TOAD (Timing of Androgen Deprivation) trial. METHODS: This randomised, multicentre, open-label, phase 3 trial done in 29 public an

Skin manifestations associated with systemic diseases - Part II.

The skin, by reflecting internal processes, externalizes what happens inside the body in many diseases. Thus, the skin, as an organ, extrapolates its functions of protection, barrier and signals the existence of systemic diseases, expanding the importance of the dermatologist beyond the skin surface. Thus, the dermatologist investigates diagnostic hypotheses for conditions related to all systems and refers patients to the appropriate specialty. Combined with examination by a trained eye, the skin, due to its easy access, is still the ideal place for performing biopsies, which often clarify the
