Abstract:Our results showed an adverse effect of long radial incisions. For lumpectomy and axillary node dissection separate incisions should be used. Correction of contour deformities should be done primarily in breast conserving procedures. This is possible by using modified reduction mammaplasties, local flaps of the breast tissue or switching a latissimus dorsi muscle flap. For secondary correction of defects after breast conserving treatment a latissimus dorsi muscle can be used as well as z-plasty for scar contra… Show more
“…With 71% excellent or good global cosmetic results in the group who received a boost, the results appeared still acceptable [40]. Surgical factors can contribute to improve the cosmetic outcome after radiotherapy [8]. rate of our patient group with microscopically free resection margins is virtually identical with the control rate of the no boost arm in the EORTC trial.…”
High-risk patients after mastectomy and patients with breast conserving surgery achieve a high local control rate with postoperative irradiation. After microscopically incomplete resection, there is an increased risk for local relapse.

“…To solve this problem, the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap (LAT) can be used [3,8,10]. For patients with more advanced tumors, the trans-rectus abdominis myocutaneus flap (TRAM) allows immediate reconstruction of the breast.…”
Combination of neoadjuvant chemo-/radiotherapy results in significantly higher rates of complete remission than neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone. The significance for tumor-free and overall survival has to be evaluated.
“…In den Tumorstadien T1 und T2 ermöglicht die brusterhaltende Therapie [9] in Kombination mit der postoperativen Radiotherapie gleich gute Ergebnisse wie durch die Mastektomie [28].…”
The curative chance of treatment has to be used in every age. A treatment of elder patients below the actual valid standards of treatment is not justified.
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.
