“…Of note is the fact that in the therapeutic decision of breast cancer, the solution offered by the oncology commission had a categorical role, each patient being presented to the oncology commission in order to choose the optimal individualized therapeutic option. The most used surgical technique was the Madden modified radical mastectomy, performed in 54.16% of patients, which was associated with a lower rate of postoperative complications and is less mutilating, preserving both pectoral muscles compared to other radical surgical techniques (13).…”

“…The frequency of wound infections in patients treated for breast cancer varies in the literature from 1% -13% for lumpectomy [24,32] to 4%-18% for modified radical mastectomy [33,34]. However, the definition of infection in literature is different in every study.…”

Background: "Seromas" represent a frequent complication after complete axillary lymph node dissection (CALND) for breast cancer. The aims of this work were to analyze patients with seromas at our institution and to try to define patients at risk for such events. Methods:The medical reports of 223 women who underwent CALND after mastectomy (n=127) or lumpectomy (n=96) for breast cancer and who were followed in our institute were retrospectively reviewed to obtain the following: the characteristics (volume and duration) of the drained seromas; the number, volume, and duration of punctures performed after hospital discharge; the patient's age and body mass index; the presence or absence of hypertension (HTA); the pT of the tumor, the TNM stage, the number of axillary lymph nodes removed (nLN), the number of positive LN, the associated treatments (the pre and post-operative chemotherapy or not); and whether or not there was an infection at the level of the breast and/or arm.Results: Only 18.75% of the patients after lumpectomy and 9.45% after mastectomy did not have a puncture for seroma after hospital discharge. The patients who had a mastectomy with CALND had a significantly higher number of punctures (Np), longer duration, and higher volumes than those who had a lumpectomy. The risk of infection significantly increased with the Np. Conclusions:This institutional survey highlights the problem of post-operative seromas and their related punctures. The seromas were statistically more frequent after mastectomy than lumpectomy. Therefore, in the future, neo-adjuvant approaches with conservative surgeries are recommended. Our analysis identified an abnormally high Np and/or total puncture volume (VpTot) as outliers.

“…Mastectomy for breast cancer started with radical surgery [1], and following several studies, the procedure of choice for early Stage I and II breast cancer was modified radical mastectomy [2] and then developed into breast conserving surgery, such as quadrantectomy and partial mastectomy [3]. It is estimated that about 1.3 million people worldwide undergo breast conserving surgery every year [4].…”

As breast conserving surgery increases in the surgical treatment of breast cancer, partial mastectomy is also increasing. Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a polymer that is used as an artifact in various parts of the human body based on the biocompatibility and mechanical properties of PCL. Here, we hypothesized that a PCL scaffold can be utilized for the restoration of breast tissue after a partial mastectomy. To demonstrate the hypothesis, a PCL scaffold was fabricated by 3D printing and three types of spherical PCL scaffold including PCL scaffold, PCL scaffold with collagen, and the PCL scaffold with breast tissue fragment were implanted in the rat breast defect model. After 6 months of implantation, the restoration of breast tissue was observed in the PCL scaffold and the expression of collagen in the PCL scaffold with collagen was seen. The expression of TNF-α was significantly increased in the PCL scaffold, but the expression of IL-6 showed no significant difference in all groups. Through this, it showed the possibility of using it as a method to conveniently repair tissue defects after partial mastectomy of the human body.
