Tóm tắt

Abstract Background Access to imaging reports and review of the breast imaging directly with a patient with breast cancer helps improve the understanding of disease extent and severity. A 3D printed breast model can further enhance a patient’s understanding and communication with the healthcare team resulting in improved patient comprehension and patient input with reduced treatment decision conflict. Furthermore, 3D printed models can facilitate training of residents and fellows involved in the diagnosis and treatment management of breast cancer. Case presentation We present a 3D printed breast tumor model segmented from positron electron tomography/computed tomography and fabricated via desktop vat polymerization as proof of concept for treatment planning for a patient diagnosed with triple negative inflammatory breast carcinoma. Conclusion We illustrate benefits and indications for 3D printing in the management of breast cancer and specifically inflammatory breast cancer in this case. Fabrication and implementation of 3D printed models enhances patient’s understanding and communication with the healthcare team regarding their condition, treatment options and anticipated outcomes. It provides personalized treatment planning by examining patient-specific pathology and the anatomic spatial relationships. Furthermore, 3D printed models facilitate medical education for trainees across disciplines involved in the patient’s care.
