Abstract BACKGROUND: In Australia, the rate of immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) following breast cancer surgery is highly variable. This study aimed to identify the rate of IBR within an Australian public tertiary breast oncology referral centre

Abstract thousand nine hundred thirty-seven patients with ductal carcinoma in situ and 13,375 patients with invasive breast cancer (IBC) were included. Of 11,351 patients with stages I-III IBC (85%, N = 13,375) 66% underwent breast-conserving surgery (BCS), and 31

Abstract Purpose: Two-dimensional (2D) digital mammography (DM) is the current gold standard in breast cancer screening and diagnostic imaging however limitations exist with superimposition tissues and poor contrast between healthy and cancerous tissues

Abstract and plastic surgeons, aiming to improve interdisciplinary collaboration. This study aimed to assess the provision of breast reconstruction at an Australian tertiary public hospital and examine whether the multidisciplinary surgical clinic have improved our

Abstract to personalise adjuvant strategies based on the presence or absence of residual cancer at surgery. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has become an integral element in the provision of breast conserving surgery to selected early-stage breast cancer patients. Appreciating

Abstract = -3.207, p = 0.001) in the histopathological category, and the same or lower BRE grade (z= -2.972, p = 0.003). Conclusion(s): In multifocal breast cancers, additional lesions detected on MRI and second-look US have the same or less invasive

Abstract eligible for breast-conserving surgery were assigned randomly to preoperative localization using 125I seeds or hookwires. Randomization was stratified by lesion type (pure ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or other) and study site. Primary endpoints were

Abstract , compared to patients who underwent excisional biopsy or fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). Result(s): Core specimens in 63 patients yielded positive histology in 57 (90%), allowing for breast-conserving surgery in 45 and mastectomy in 12. Negative

Abstract difference of 116 cm3 was calculated, aiding reconstructive planning. Preoperative planning, including volumetric analysis can be used as a tool to aid esthetic outcomes and attempt to reduce operative times in post-mastectomy breast reconstruction surgery
