This book presents 50 cases, encompassing a broad range of oncoplastic breast surgeries. Each case is dedicated to a particular surgical technique, using classifications of “good, bad, and ugly” to point out potential pitfalls and to optimize post-surgery results. With the help of more than 500 high-quality illustrations and photos and detailed step-by-step instructions the editors, respected experts in their field, describe the most common procedures. Now in its second edition, this comprehensive surgical atlas provides practical guidance for various oncoplastic techniques used in breast conservation surgery and mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. The book will be a valuable resource not only for surgeons specialized in breast cancer therapy, but also for general surgeons and gynecologists as well as for plastic and reconstructive surgeons.
The process of inflammation, which causes the swelling and redness around a wound, is a vital part of the body's system for fighting off infections. When the body is hurt, the immune system produces chemical signals telling cells to multiply without dying, allowing skin to close over a gash, for example. Other chemicals spur the growth of new blood vessels to feed the recovering tissue. Scientists have linked inflammation to cancer and recently to heart disease in several ways. Doctors suspect that long-term inflammation or infection is involved in up to 20 per cent of cancers, including those of the oesophagus, colon, skin, stomach, liver, bladder, breast and some kinds of lymphoma. C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the acute phase proteins that increase during systemic inflammation. It's been suggested that testing CRP levels in the blood may be a new way to assess cardiovascular disease risk. A high sensitivity assay for CRP test (hs-CRP) is now widely available. This new book presents recent leading-edge research from around the world.

The idea of writing this book stemmed from a collab...
This book covers an up-to-date review of advances in the management strategies for patients with breast cancer and their co-morbidities. Oncoplasty has become the standard of care for breast conservation surgery and can lead to improving aesthetic outcomes of breast cancer surgery, without compromising oncological outcomes. The goal of the text is to increase the competencies and performance of healthcare professionals involved in treating this patient population, which will ultimately improve the aesthetic outcomes, quality of life and overall survival of patients with breast disease and breast cancer. Written by experts in the field, chapters address a wide range of breast surgery techniques that help the general surgeon provide improved oncologic and aesthetic results for patients.

Das Mammakarzinom ist die häufigste Krebserkrankung der Frau. Beträchtliche chirurgische Fortschritte der letzten Jahre haben sowohl eine günstigere Prognose als auch verbesserte kosmetische Ergebnisse bewirkt. Auf diese wird konzise eingegangen und ein Überblick über derzeit gängige interventionelle, resektive und onkoplastische Konzepte geboten. Neben den präsentierten Konzepten werden aber etablierte Therapien durch zum Teil noch experimentelle operative und strategische Modalitäten ergänzt: Einerseits ist es notwendig, Standards und Qualitätsnormen darzulegen und auf ihre Etablierung hinzuweisen. Andererseits ist das chirurgische Wissen - und darauf aufbauende Behandlungsstrategien – ständig im Fluss. Wesentliches Gewicht des Buches liegt auf dem, was über das evidenz-basiert Bewährte hinausgeht. Dieses Kompendium modernster operativer Behandlungskonzepte bietet dem Chirurgen eine kompetente Hilfe beim Management von Brustkrebs-Patientinnen.
