It is essential to reach a better understanding of "flat epithelial atypia/columnar cell lesions" (FEA/CCLs) in breast core biopsies. Our aim was to explore their biological nature, in order to predict the likelihood of an upgrade to carcinoma. ... Read more...
10 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Estrogen plus progestin therapy increases breast cancer incidence and breast tenderness. Whether breast tenderness during estrogen plus progestin therapy is associated with breast cancer risk is uncertain. METHODS: We analyzed data from ... Read more...
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...
