Methods: 218 operated premenopausal patients with breast cancer had been followedup for more than 10 years. Prognostic factors related to these patients had been selected to be underwent univariate analysis and multivariate analysis by Cox regression model. Results: Univariage analysis showed that the menstrual timing of operation, as other Known prognostic factors (tumor size, node status, histological grade, TNM classification, adjuvent systemic therapy, etc), had an influence on the patients' outcome. Multivariate analysis by Cox regression model indicated that diseasefree rate and overall survival rate of patients operated during the periovulatory phase (123 cases) were significantly superior to those operated during the premenstrual phase (95 cases) (P<0.01). There were no significant differences in prognosis between patients who received operations during the follicular phase (96 cases) and those during the luteal phase (122 cases) (P>0.01). Conclusion: Probably there is an optimal timing of operation for premenopausal breast cancer patients. Any prospective, randomized clinical study should be carried out to make this problem clear.展开更多

Certain features of breast can be extracted in different degrees and aspects from original images by applying four edge sharpening operators to the breast near-infrared imaging. A great number of cases prove that compared with the other three operators, the improved Sobel operator can effectively extract the structural features of the breast from an original image. It can be concluded that the improved Sobel operator can assist in diagnosing breast diseases.展开更多

Methods: Thirty patients, with breast cancer of a diameter≤3 cm and a distance≥3 cm from the mammary areola were treated by mastoscopic from November 2003 to August 2006. After the lipoly- sis and suction of axillary fat, mastoscopic axillary lymph node dissection was performed. Results: The average operation time was 128.9 min (120–156 min), the intraoperative blood loss was 56 mL (30–100 mL). The mean lymph nodes harvested by endoscopy were 16 (6–34). Excellent cosmetic outcomes were obtained with symmetrical breast development and all the patients were satisfied with the treatment. Postoperative follow-up for 2–29 months (mean, 16.6 months) found no local recur-rence. Conclusion:This model of operation can protect the upper limb function and has value of aesthetics of the brisket. What’s more, improve the quality of survive of the patients.展开更多
