Interval from diagnosis to treatment of breast cancer within the same cancer center was longer at the CH than the UH. There was, however, no effect on overall survival. Time to treatment may not be a meaningful indicator of cancer care quality.
This large case series of intestinal malrotation in the nonpediatric age group suggests that Ladd's procedure can be performed very safely. Moreover, the results suggest that patients with known malrotation should have Ladd's procedure performed electively rather than urgently.
CSM at time of initial partial mastectomy decreases rate of re-excision by as much as ninefold. CSM should be considered at time of initial operation to reduce the need for subsequent reoperation.
BSL is an attractive alternative to WL in a high-volume, county-based population. It allows increased efficiency in the operating room and has a low rate of complications. Cautionary measures must be taken to ensure proper seed chain of custody to prevent seed loss.
CSM decreases the need for re-excision. Total tissue volume excised is lower in patients who undergo CSM, and cosmetic results appear to be improved. This approach should be considered for all patients undergoing PM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
