..This study evaluates the impact of a short messaging system clinical protocol between surgeons and patients. The endpoints evaluated were number of clinic visits, telephone calls, and days to surgical drain removal...

..This study is the first to implement this procedure in a public health care delivery system composed of a primarily minority and low-income population...

..We sought to determine whether percutaneous core needle biopsy (CNB) of suspicious axillary lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer offers improved diagnostic accuracy compared with fine-needle aspiration (FNA)...

..Optical Diffusion Imaging Spectroscopy (ViOptix T.Ox Tissue Oximeter) measures the ratio of oxyhemoglobin to deoxyhemoglobin over a 1 x 1 cm area to obtain a non-invasive measurement of perfusion (StO2)...

..Surgical intervention for breast cancer has continually evolved. The current review reports on updates from the pivotal trials, examines areas of controversy, and explores possible future directions...

..009). Multivariate analysis revealed CSM, % DCIS, tumor size, and race to influence reexcisions. Conclusions. CSM is a technique that reduces reexcisions and mastectomy rates...

..This study evaluates the volume of tissue removed in a group that underwent CSM versus one that underwent standard partial mastectomy (SPM) and explores cosmetic outcomes...

..We hypothesize that ALND performed with the Harmonic Focus® will decrease operative time and reduce post-operative complications...

..Routine pathologic assessment of these skin specimens, removed for nononcologic reasons, may not be required...

..Patient outcomes following surgery can be enhanced by restoring volume and minimizing scars in this upper medial subunit of the breast...

..We hypothesized that routine excision of additional cavity shave margins (CSM) at time of initial partial mastectomy reduces the need for additional surgery...

..It remains controversial, however, whether a delay to treatment impacts survival. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether delays from diagnosis to initial treatment in breast cancer impacts survival...

..This was achieved using bilateral pedicled SEA perforator flaps for complete coverage. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of bilateral pedicled perforator flap reconstruction for complete chest wall reconstruction...

..The subset of patients who would most benefit from surgery remains unclear. This study evaluates the pathological attributes and optimum timing for surgery in patients who present with stage IV breast cancer and an intact primary...

..pN3 breast cancer is historically associated with a poor prognosis, but the biology of aggressive nodal involvement or lymphatotropism is not well understood...

..This ABC to recovery study evaluated the combined and separate components of preoperative education and the effectiveness of wearing the Papilla Gown...

..Objective was to determine if the marker could be utilized independently for lesion localization using intra-operative ultrasound alone...

..Molecular subtypes of IBCA are distinct from those of pDCIS. Invasion is characterized by change in phenotype in some tumors...

..This randomized, prospective pilot trial evaluates the feasibility of supervised exercise during NC for breast cancer...

..Prior to public reporting, institutions should perform NQF quality measure compliance assessments, confirm accuracy, and initiate educational processes/imperatives...

..Furthermore, a high expression level of Ki-67 but not p53 is more likely to be associated with axillary nodal metastasis in these cases...
