BACKGROUND: Data on multinational 90-day mortality and morbidity rates after surgery for gastric cancer is limited in the literature. This study aimed to understand the 90-day mortality and morbidity outcomes among patients undergoing elective gastric cancer surgery, as in the GASTRODATA Registry, and to identify associated risk factors. METHODS: We conducted an international prospective study on patients aged ...
Introduction: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has the potential for tumor downstaging and surgery de-escalation. In the axilla, this approach is less established, especially in cN+→ycN0. Targeted axillary dissection is an option, but difficult to concretize. We aim to identify biological factors associated with nodal pathological complete response (pCR) and recognize potential candidates for a more conservative ...
Background/purpose: Locoregional control in breast cancer is a fundamental part of treatment and determinant for survival outcomes. It has been reported that most locoregional recurrence (LRR) events occur in the first 5 years after treatment. However, LRR continue to occur after this timeline, with unclear risk factors and unknown survival impact. Methods: Retrospective singe-centered cohort of patients treate...
Male breast cancer is a rare disease, representing approximately 1% of all breast cancers, but its incidence appears to be increasing over the years. As normal male breast does not develop acini and lobules, lobular carcinoma is very rare, accounting for 1% - 2% of all cases of male breast cancer. Pleomorphic lobular carcinoma is an aggressive variant of invasive lobular carcinoma with only six cases of male br...
