Proton radiotherapy is a promising new modality which has an inherent antitumor effect against HCC. However, the application of proton radiotherapy for tumors adjacent to the gastrointestinal tract is restricted because the tolerance dose of the intestine is extremely low. A novel two-step treatment was developed with surgical spacer placement and subsequent proton radiotherapy to administer proton radiotherapy with curative intent. This report presents a case of a patient with a huge unresectable HCC treated by this method who achieved disease-free survival of more than 2 years. This new strategy may potentially be an innovative and standard therapy for unresectable HCC in the near future.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

According to the surgical methods, they were divided into microwave ablation group (n = 48), conventional surgery group (n = 105) and rotational adenomammectomy group (n = 79). The clinical parameters were compared and analyzed between the three groups, and the postoperative pain, residual tumor, breast beauty and complication rate of the patients were evaluated. <strong>Results:</strong> Operative time, intraoperative blood loss, healing time and postoperative pain in microwave ablation group were lower than those of rotational adenomammectomy group (P < 0.05) and those of conventional surgery group (P < 0.05). Besides, those in the rotational adenomammectomy group were lower than those in the conventional surgery group (P < 0.05). The residual tumor rates in microwave ablation group and rotational adenomammectomy group were 4.17% and 3.80%, respectively. And the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Both of them were lower than 6.66% in conventional surgery group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). The effective rates of breast beauty were 91.67%, 82.28% and 68.58% in the microwave ablation group, the rotational adenomammectomy group and the conventional surgery group, respectively. And the difference between groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The rate of postoperative complications in microwave ablation group and rotational adenomammectomy group were 4.17% and 3.80% respectively, both of which were significantly lower than 6.66% in conventional surgery group (P < 0.05). <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Microwave ablation, rotational adenomammectomy and conventional surgery are effective for the treatment of benign breast tumors. Among them, microwave ablation is the best option with many advantages of shorter operative time, less intraoperative blood loss, more beautiful breast shape, less postoperative pain, a lower residual rate after surgery, and a lower complication rate.展开更多

Surgical site occurrence (SSO) poses septic and oncological risks to patients. This study undertook a meta-analysis to identify key risk factors and interventions that may alter the incidence of SSO in patients undergoing breast surgery. Methods: An ethically approved, PROSPERO-registered meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines and Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews was undertaken of all published English articles using electronic databases from 2010 to 2017 incorporating MeSH terms “risk factors”, “surgical site infections”, “breast surgery”, and “interventions”. Articles scoring > 10 for non-comparative studies and >15 for comparative studies, using MINORS criteria were included. The OR or RR using random-effects, Mantel-Haenszel method were computed for each risk factor and intervention respectively with RevMan 5. Results: The pre-operative factors affecting breast surgery SSO were diabetes mellitus (OR = 2.52, CI = 1.78 - 3.59, p < 0.001), smoking (OR = 2.39, CI = 1.57 - 3.63, p < 0.001), ASA ≥ III (OR = 2.37, CI = 1.51 - 3.74, p < 0.001), obese versus non-obese (OR = 1.84, CI = 1.52 - 2.24, p < 0.001), over-weight/obese versus normal BMI (OR = 1.70, CI = 1.36 - 2.13, p < 0.001), hypertension (OR = 1.63, CI = 1.39 - 1.90, p < 0.001), and antibiotics prophylaxis (RR = 0.58, CI = 0.36 - 0.95, p = 0.03). The intraoperative factors were surgical wound classifications 3 - 4 (OR = 6.16, CI = 2.52 - 15.02, p < 0.001), surgical drains (OR = 2.80, CI = 1.06 - 7.38, p = 0.04), and axillary lymph node dissection (OR = 1.46, CI = 1.18 - 1.80, p < 0.001). The post-operative factors were adjuvant radiotherapy (OR = 1.77, CI = 1.26 - 2.50, p = 0.001), re-operated patients (OR = 1.65, CI = 1.01 - 2.70, p = 0.05), post-operative antibiotics (RR = 0.57, CI = 0.33 - 0.98, p = 0.04), and drain antisepsis care (RR = 0.15, CI = 0.03 - 0.82, p = 0.03). Conclusions: This study identified key factors associated with increased risk of breast surgery wound occurrence. It will facilitate the development of a peri-operative breast wound bundle to optimize outcomes.展开更多
