Residual Breast Tissue After Four Types of Mastectomy: A Prospective, Comparative Study.

Background: Residual breast tissue (RBT), defined as glandular tissue left behind after mastectomy, raises concerns about oncologic safety. However, data on its prevalence and clinical significance remain limited, with existing studies hampered by small sample sizes and inconsistent methodologies. This study evaluated the prevalence of RBT across four mastectomy types-simple mastectomy (SM), modified radical mastectomy (MRM), skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM), and nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM)-and identified factors influencing its presence.

Immediate breast reconstruction in breast cancer patients with the use of Serasynth and SeragynBR synthetic meshes. Single-oncological center experience, analysis of complications.

<br><b>Introduction:</b> The use of meshes in mastectomies with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) has become the gold standard.</br> <br><b>Aim:</b> The use of meshes in mastectomies with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) has become a gold standard. The purpose of the study was to analyze the complications and own experience with the use of Serasynth fully absorbable and SeragynBR partially absorbable synthetic meshes.

Neoadjuvant Pertuzumab Plus Trastuzumab in Combination with Docetaxel and Carboplatin in Patients with HER2-Positive Breast Cancer: Real-World Data from the National Institute of Oncology in Poland.

Neoadjuvant systemic therapy has now become the standard in early breast cancer management. Chemotherapy in combination with trastuzumab +/- pertuzumab targeted therapy can improve the rates of pathologic complete response (pCR) in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Achieving a pCR is considered a good prognostic factor, in particular, in patients with more aggressive breast cancer subtypes such as TNBC or HER2-positive cancers.

Laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection of the rectum - how is it done; initial results.

Unlabelled: The abdominoperineal resection of the rectum is a classical operation performed in case of patients diagnosed with rectal cancer. The development of laparoscopic techniques in recent years, introduced yet another method of treatment, considering patients with rectal cancer- laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection of the rectum. The aim of the study was to present initial treatment results considering the above-mentioned patients.

Intraoperative difficulties and the reasons for conversion in patients treated with laparoscopic colorectal tumors.

The Aim Of The Study: Was an evaluation of conversion causes and intraoperative difficulties in patients treated with laparoscopic surgery due to colorectal tumours on the basis of authors' own material.

Material And Methods: in the period 2009-2012 160 patients were operated on because of large bowel cancer, 79 women and 81 men. Average age of patients was 66 years.
