Introduction: Breast cancer is becoming more frequently diagnosed at early stages with improved long-term outcomes. Radiation-related heart disease and lung cancer can occur following radiotherapy for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate some dosimetric parameters of heart and lung during whole breast radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Twenty...

Background: Breast cancer is becoming more frequently diagnosed at early stages with improved long term outcomes. Radiation-related heart disease and lung cancer can occur following radiotherapy for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate some dosimetric parameters of heart and lung during whole breast radiotherapy. Methods:Twenty five consecutive...

background: breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. screening can reduce the rate of cancer and mortality. the aim of this study is description of screening programs about breast masses with clinical and para clinical examination. methods: this is a descriptive study on 952 women who had volunteered or were referred to tabriz behbood hospital during one-year period. data was collected...

breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women. the important key to treat the breast cancer is early detection of it because according to many pathological studies more than 80% of all abnormalities are still benign at primary stages; so in recent years, many studies and extensive research done to early detection of breast cancer with higher precision and accuracy.infra-red breast...

Introduction :Today there is general awareness of the potential damage to the heart in left- sided (more than in rightsided) breast cancer radiotherapy.     Material & Method: Historical changes in tumor and heart doses are presented here along with the impact of different RT techniques and volumes. Results: Individual and pharm...

background: idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (igm) is a rare benign breast disease, which can mimic breast cancer. as the managements of igm and breast cancer are entirely different and the initial clinical manifestations are similar in several cases, it is very important to differentiate them. case presentation: we reported a 48-year-old female patient with igm and breast cancer. she was refe...

Introduction: The rate of cardiac diseases have increased among patients who underwent radiotherapy for left-sided breast cancer. The study’s aim was evaluate the dose to organs at risk in free-breathing 3-dimensional conformal (FB-3DCRT) against 3-dimensional conformal deep inspiration breath-hold (3DCRT-DIBH) in patients with left-sided breast cancer. Ma...

Background: In the radiotherapy of patients with esophagus and breast cancer, the heart receives a significant dose of radiation that might cause heart complications. Thefore, the aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects of esophagus and left breast cancer radiotherapy on the cardiac function and to determine the relationship between the dosimetric parameters and ejection fraction (...

desmoid tumor of breast is a rare benign, locally aggressive tumor with a high recurrence rate. it has been associated with scar from previous breast surgery or trauma. especially in breast cancer patients with previous operation history, it may simulate recurrent breast cancer clinically and radiologically. we presented multimodality imaging findings (ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic ...

background: breast conservation therapy (bct) is the standard of care for early stage breast cancer. the procedure can be a challenge for the surgeon if the lesion is non-palpable. for excision of non-palpable breast lesions, they should be localized precisely before surgery. there are different techniques such as the wgl (wire guided localization), roll (radio-guided occult lesion localization...
