Breast reconstruction in previously irradiated patients using tissue expanders and implants: a potentially unfavorable result

Annals of Plastic Surgery

Abstract

There exists a paucity of definitive information on the suitability of implant reconstructions in previously irradiated breast cancer patients. This controversial topic prompted a review of our prosthetic reconstructions in this select group of patients. A retrospective study of patients treated between 1976 and 1993 with lumpectomy and radiation therapy for early breast cancer revealed 67 patients with local recurrences. Nine of these patients (10 breasts) underwent a two-stage prosthetic reconstruction following a salvage mastectomy. The average age was 47.9 years. The mean dose of irradiation was 6,070 cGy. The average interval from radiation therapy to placement of a tissue expander was 4.6 years. In one patient (10%) the tissue expander extruded. The average follow-up for 8 patients (9 breasts) who underwent exchange to a permanent prosthesis was 5.1 years. In four reconstructions (40%) there was an uneventful postoperative course. Two cases (20%) were difficult to expand and the final result lacked projection. One patient (10%) developed an infection requiring removal of the permanent prosthesis. Two patients (20%) developed Baker class III or IV capsular contractures. Overall, in our group of 10 implant reconstructions, ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
