Radiation induced angiosarcoma a sequela of radiotherapy for breast cancer following conservative surgeryInternational Seminars in Surgical Oncology - Tập 3 - Trang 1-4 - 2006
M Tahir, P Hendry, L Baird, NA Qureshi, D Ritchie, P Whitford
Radiation induced angiosarcomas (RIA) can affect breast cancer patients who had
radiotherapy following conservative breast surgery. They are very rare tumors
and often their diagnosis is delayed due to their benign appearance and
difficulty in differentiation from radiation induced skin changes. Therefore it
is very important that clinicians are aware of their existence. We report here a
case of R... hiện toàn bộ
Gamma probes and their use in tumor detection in colorectal cancerInternational Seminars in Surgical Oncology - Tập 5 - Trang 1-8 - 2008
Ismet Sarikaya, Ali Sarikaya, Richard C Reba
The purpose of this article is to summarize the role of gamma probes in
intraoperative tumor detection in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), as well
as provide basic information about the physical and practical characteristics of
the gamma probes, and the radiopharmaceuticals used in gamma probe tumor
detection. In a significant portion of these studies, radiolabeled monoclonal
antibodies (Mab... hiện toàn bộ
Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration as a presentation of breast cancer – a case report and review of the literatureInternational Seminars in Surgical Oncology - Tập 5 - Trang 1-3 - 2008
Alia Noorani, Zaid Sadiq, Neda Minakaran, Catherine Coleman, Val A Thomas, Kefah Mokbel
Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration is part of a rare spectrum of
neurological syndromes whereby gynaecological, lung or breast cancers present
primarily with neurological manifestations. The presence of onconeural
antibodies and PET scanning help in the challenging diagnosis of these
conditions but despite the treatment of the primary cancer, the prognosis for
the neurological symptoms is poor... hiện toàn bộ
Case report: Metaplastic carcinoma presenting as a breast abscessInternational Seminars in Surgical Oncology - Tập 3 - Trang 1-3 - 2006
Corrine Wong, Chris Wright, Angela Colclough, Simon Marsh
Metaplastic breast carcinoma (MBC) is a rare neoplasm containing a mixture of
epithelial and mesenchymal elements. The epithelial component is usually ductal
carcinoma but may include other variants of breast carcinomas including squamous
carcinoma and osteogenic sarcoma. There is a relative paucity of data regarding
such tumours. Metaplastic carcinoma carries a prognosis not dissimilar to that
of... hiện toàn bộ
Current management of the axilla in patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer: a nationwide survey of United Kingdom breast surgeonsInternational Seminars in Surgical Oncology - Tập 4 - Trang 1-5 - 2007

Precise knowledge of axillary lymph node status is essential in the treatment of
operable carcinoma of the breast. For many years, axillary nodal clearance (ANC)
has been an integral part of the conventional management of early-stage breast
cancer. During the last few decades the trend of these surgical procedures has
been one of decreasing invasiveness in order to try and achieve a much lower

Results of a planned interim toxicity analysis with trimodality therapy, including carboplatin AUC = 4, paclitaxel, 5-fluorouracil, amifostine, and radiation for locally advanced esophageal cancer: preliminary analyses and treatment recommendations from the North Central Cancer Treatment GroupInternational Seminars in Surgical Oncology - Tập 1 - Trang 1-5 - 2004
Aminah Jatoi, James Martenson, Michelle R Mahoney, Bradley S Lair, Jeffrey S Brindle, Frank Nichols, Normand Caron, Kendrith Rowland, Loren Tschetter, Steven Alberts
An aggressive trimodality approach from the Minnie Pearl Cancer Research Network
[carboplatin AUC = 6, days 1 and 22; 5-fluorouracil 225 mg/m2 continuous
infusion, days 1–42, paclitaxel 200 mg/m2, days 1 and 22; 45 Gy] has resulted in
remarkable pathologic response rates but notable toxicity. This trial was
designed to mitigate this toxicity by starting with a lower carboplatin dose,
AUC = 4, and ... hiện toàn bộ
The potential role of dynamic thermal analysis in breast cancer detectionInternational Seminars in Surgical Oncology - Tập 3 - Trang 1-5 - 2006
M Salhab, LG Keith, M Laguens, W Reeves, K Mokbel
It is presently well accepted that the breast exhibits a circadian rhythm
reflective of its physiology. There is increasing evidence that rhythms
associated with malignant cells proliferation are largely non-circadian. Cancer
development appears to generate its own thermal signatures and the complexity of
these signatures may be a reflection of its degree of development. The
limitations of mammogr... hiện toàn bộ
