Introduction: Breast cancer screening has increased the detection of non-palpable lesions, requiring accurate intraoperative localization to ensure oncologic safety and preserve cosmesis. Wire-free methods such as radiofrequency identification (RFID) provide radiation-free, patient-friendly alternatives to traditional wire-guided techniques.Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-center study of patients u...

This so-called state of ‘PGA-near-remission’ negatively impacts individuals’ functioning and potentiates inadequate...
In 2020, female breast cancer was the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide, representing the type of cancer with the highest incidence among women and the second most common cause of cancer death among women in all OECD countries. The conventional measures addressing the burden of breast cancer by measuring mortality, incidence, and survival do not entirely reflect the quality of life and patients' experien...

Actinomycosis is an uncommon, endogenous, and chronic infection with varied and nonspecific clinical features such as abdominal, pelvic or cervical masses, ulcerative lesions, abscesses, draining fistula, fibrosis, and constitutional symptoms. The disease ensues when the bacteria disrupt the mucosal barrier, invade, and spread throughout interfascial planes. Currently, the diagnosis of actinomycosis is challeng...
