The use of stereotaxic cytology in the diagnosis of non-palpable breast lesions. Personal experience
1999
Background and aims. The increasingly frequent use of mammography for the early diagnosis of breast cancer and the consequent identification of mammary lesions at a preclinical stage raises the fundamental problem of the differential diagnosis between non-suspected non-palpable lesions (NPL) which can therefore be monitored over time and suspected NPL or definite carcinoma requiring histological confirmation and surgical biopsy. The diagnostic accuracy of mammography alone is not sufficiently high to differentiate benign lesions from malignant or strongly suspected ones. The use of surgical biopsy in the event of suspected NPL could be significantly reduced by the use of stereotaxic cytolog…
IL FIBROADENOMA DELLA MAMMELLA: STUDIO SU 447 CASI
1994
The authors examined a total of 519 nodules diagnosed preoperatively as mammary fibroadenomas between 1986 and 1991. 235 nodules were removed immediately after diagnosis, either because they had a diameter of over 3 cm or because they were present in women over 45 years old. The preoperative diagnosis was confirmed in 94.9% of cases and after histological examination the nodule was only found to be a carcinoma in one case (0,4%). Those cases not operated at the time of diagnosis were monitored for period of 2 years. At the end of this period 118 nodules had been removed due to a more or less rapid increase in volume. The histological examination of these nodules confirmed the initial diagno…
Treatment of Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer with Different Radiation Techniques
2014
ABSTRACT Aim: To compare local control and toxicity in non melanoma skin cancer treated with electrons and Leipzig applicators. Methods: We evaluated 60 patients (pts) with non melanoma skin cancer treated using electrons and Leipzig applicators (microselectron-HDR afterloader). The lesions were: 30 basal cell cancer, 17 squamous cell cancer, 10 basosquamous cell cancer, 1 dermatofibrosarcoma, 1 keloid, 1 histiocytoma fibrosus. Median age was 54 (25-84). The lesions were localized on head and neck, except 1 in the sternum and 1 in posterior part of knee. 49 pts underwent surgery before radiation treatment with negative margin in 38 pts and positive margins in 11. 30 pts were treated with el…

FATTORI PROGNOSTICI DELLA RECIDIVA LOCALE DOPO CHIRURGIA CONSERVATIVA PER CARCINOMA DELLA MAMMELLA. NOSTRA ESPERIENZA
1994
One of the most important problems linked to the conservative surgery of breast cancer consists of local recurrences (LR), even if it has now been proven that the appearance of LR has no influence on overal survival of the patients operated for breast cancer. We have considered 108 patients suffering from breast cancer and treated with quadrantectomy plus axillarydissection. In these patients were found 4 LR (3.7%), that in two cases appeared in the residual mammary gland and in other two cases were found on the skin scar. The mean time of occurrence of the LR was of 43 month (range 18-90 month). The authors have correlated the appearance of LR with some caracteristics of the tumor, as the …
LES TUMEURS PHYLLODES DU SEIN
1996
The authors report on their experience with six patients suffering from carcinoma phylloides of the breast and discuss the clinical and diagnostic characteristics of this rare neoplasm and its treatment. Clinical examination is the most important procedure in the diagnosis of this tumour of the breast. In most cases, ultrasonography, mammography and cytology are not helpful in establishing the correct diagnosis. Indeed is very difficult to identify valid criteria of differential diagnosis between this tumour and other breast neoplasms especially fibroadenoma. Limited surgery, consisting in a wide excision of the tumour, is the treatment of choice although a higher incidence of local recurre…
