Nodal Response After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Potential Targets for Axillar...
Pereira Gonçalves, Beatriz; Costeira, Beatriz; Girão, Maria do Carmo; Oom, Rodrigo; Sousa Costa, Cristina; Vargas Moniz, João; Abecasis, NunoIntroduction: 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 ...
Long-term locoregional recurrence in patients treated for breast cancer
Costeira, Beatriz; da Silva, Francisca Brito; Fonseca, Filipa; Oom, Rodrigo; Costa, Cristina; Moniz, João Vargas; Abecasis, NunoBackground/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...
The Use of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in BRCA1/2 Mutation Carriers Undergoing P...
Câmara, Sara; Pereira, Daniela; André, Saudade; Mira, Beatriz; Vaz, Fátima; Oom, Rodrigo; Marques, José Carlos; Leal de Faria, JoãoSentinel lymph node biopsy in prophylactic mastectomy is controversial. It avoids lymphadenectomy in occult carcinoma but is associated with increased morbidity. Women with BRCA mutations have a higher incidence of occult carcinoma and our objective was to assess the clinical utility of sentinel lymph node biopsy when these women undergo prophylactic mastectomy.
Giant Peritoneal Loose Body: Case Report and Review of Literature
Oom, Rodrigo; Cunha, Cátia; Guedes, Vítor Moura; Féria, Luís Palma; Maio, RuiPeritoneal loose bodies are usually diagnosed incidentally. Only a few cases are documented in the literature. The pathophysiology of this condition is not fully known and its origin may possibly be related to the twisting and separation of epiploic appendages. The authors describe the case of a patient with a spherical solid lesion 6 cm in diameter, identified incidentally in the pelvic cavity of a 64 year old...
