Retrospective Analysis of Patients with Synchronous Primary Breast and Thyroid Carcinoma

Abstract

Although synchronous presentation of breast and thyroid cancer is rare, surgical treatment of both of these tumors can be safely performed at the same time. Association of these tumors should be evaluated by large scaled studies.

Axillary lymph node dissection using a robotic surgical system: Initial experience

“…Although concurrent robotic ALND and laparoscopic cholecystectomy is not a preferred approach, doing so can reduce the need for repeated surgeries and anesthesia. In support thereof, previous studies have suggested that simultaneous co‐operations with mastectomy are feasible and safe 12‐15 . Nevertheless, further study is necessary to evaluate the safety and feasibility of cooperations, including mastectomy plus cholecystectomy or other types of surgery, in the near future.…”

Diagnostic Performance of F18-FDG PET/CT in Male Breast Cancers Patients

“…The histology of the breast cancer that develops after thyroid cancer is different than the general population, with a greater percentage of ER/PR-positive tumors [ 19 ]. Although indicated by many studies, an association between breast and thyroid cancer still remains controversial [ 20 ]. The high percentage of male patients with ER/PR positive might lead to the conclusion that male breast cancer patients need a careful examination and evaluation of the thyroid, in order to exclude the thyroid malignancy.…”

Tamoxifen exposure in pregnancy after synchronous breast and thyroid cancer

“…Patients diagnosed with synchronous BC–TC can undergo simultaneous or sequential surgery [ 26 , 27 ]. In a series of 12 patients who were diagnosed preoperatively with synchronous BC–TC, they all underwent simultaneous mastectomy and thyroidectomy.…”

“…The only postoperative complications were seroma and infection in two separate patients. All the patients were still disease-free at the end of their follow-up period of 15.6 months [ 27 ]. This shows that simultaneous thyroidectomy and mastectomy are quite safe and feasible.…”
