The first operation for a breast cancer patient was performed in the early nineteenth century in Wakayama (1804.11.14), Japan. This operation was performed by Seishu Hanaoka, a Japanese doctor, using general anesthesia [1]. The general anesthetic agent used was called Tsusen-san, which was an extract of Datura metel. This might have been the first breast cancer operation under general anesthesi...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare patient outcomes between immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) after mastectomy and mastectomy alone. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive literature search of PUBMED, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. The primary outcomes evaluated in this review were overall survival, disease-free survival and local recurrence. Secondary outcom...

OBJECTIVES For healthy women at high risk of developing breast cancer, a bilateral mastectomy can reduce future risk. For women who already have unilateral breast cancer, removing the contralateral healthy breast is more difficult to justify. We examined trends in the number of women who had a bilateral mastectomy in England between 2002 and 2011. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study using the H...

A 12-year-old Beagle dog weighing 7.7 kg was brought to the Brawijaya University Veterinary Teaching Hospital in a state of dehydration, lethargy, and jaundice. On 2nd day hospitalization, had mucopurulent discharge from vagina. From results complete blood count ultrasonography (USG), patient diagnosed with pyometra treated an ovariohysterectomy. After surgery dogs given cefotaxime 10 mg/kg bw,...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of various postoperative complications in patients undergoing either immediate or delayed breast reconstruction after mastectomy for malignancy. METHODS The ACS-NSQIP 2005-2012 database was queried for patients who underwent mastectomy for the treatment of breast malignancy. These mastectomy cases were then stratified, genera...

BACKGROUND The past decade has seen an increasing prevalence of prophylactic mastectomy with decreasing ages of patients treated for breast cancer. Data are limited on the fiscal impacts of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy trends, and no study has compared bilateral prophylactic mastectomy with reconstruction to surveillance in high-risk patients. METHODS Lifetime third-party payer costs...

The authors retrospectively examined the contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) rate among 100 women with ductal carcinoma in situ who are BRCA negative. Of 100 women with ductal carcinoma in situ, 31 elected contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM). Factors associated with increased likelihood of undergoing contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) among this cohort were: family hist...

Objective: This study aims to examine the combined effects of laryngeal mask inhalation anesthesia and epidural anesthesia on stress hormones and immune factors of radical mastectomy patients. Method: A total of 68 patients who underwent radical mastectomy from February 2015 to January 2017 participated in the study. They were divided into the control group (trachea cannula combined with tradit...

Randomized studies from Canada and from Scandinavia have shown the benefit of radiation in addition to mastectomy for women. Breast cancer poses significant risks. This data is important because many women were previously felt to have adequate therapy with mastectomy for local treatment plus or minus chemotherapy depending upon the tumor extent. Radiation was seldom discussed after mastectomy. ...
