Angiosarcoma, radiation-associated angiosarcoma, and atypical vascular lesion.

30 Oct 2009 Angiosarcoma, one of the least common sarcomas, has become increasingly important because of its association with radiation therapy, especially for breast cancer. Most are sporadic, presenting as cutaneous tumors in the scalp/face of elderly ... Read more...

Immediate reconstruction with an expander/implant following ablatio mammae because of breast cancer : side effects and cosmetic results after adjuvant chest wall radiotherapy.

4 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Timing and sequencing of radiotherapy in the context of allogenous breast reconstruction have not been standardized. The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of adjuvant radiotherapy on morbidity and patient ... Read more...

Medial tumor localization in breast cancer--an unappreciated risk factor?

4 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: To demonstrate the unfavorable results in survival rates in patients with medial breast cancer compared to patients with laterally located tumors of the mammary gland. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between 1984 and 1995, 1,089 patients presenting ... Read more...
