Machine-learning-derived classifier predicts absence of persistent pain after breast cancer surgery with high accuracy.

Breast cancer research and treatment
BACKGROUND: Prevention of persistent pain following breast cancer surgery, via early identification of patients at high risk, is a clinical need. Supervised machine-learning was used to identify parameters that predict persistence of significant pain...

Serum Vitamin D Levels Affect Pathologic Complete Response in Patients Undergoing Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy for Operable Breast Cancer.

Clinical breast cancer
INTRODUCTION: There has been increasing interest in the potential benefit of vitamin D in improving breast cancer outcome. Preclinical studies suggest that vitamin D enhances chemotherapy-induced cell death. We investigated the impact of serum vitami...

A novel technique for robot assisted latissimus dorsi flap harvest.

Journal of plastic, reconstructive & aesthetic surgery : JPRAS
BACKGROUND: A robotic surgery technique of harvesting the latissimus dorsi muscle flap has technical advantages over endoscopic harvest and cosmetic advantages over the open technique. The authors introduce a new transaxillary gasless technique using...

Predictive Modeling of Human Skin Deformation and Growth During Tissue Expansion in Postmastectomy Breast Reconstruction.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
Breast reconstruction using tissue expanders is the primary treatment option following mastectomy. Although skin growth in response to chronic supra-physiological stretch is well-established, individual patient factors such as breast shape, volume, s...

Prediction of one-year recurrence among breast cancer patients undergone surgery using artificial intelligence-based algorithms: a retrospective study on prognostic factors.

BMC cancer
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Breast cancer is highly prevalent, with an increasing trend in women globally. Although the survival of breast cancer is relatively high, the recurrence rate is also high, demanding effective predictive solutions to breast cancer ...

Breast Cancer Detection with Standalone AI versus Radiologist Interpretation of Unilateral Surveillance Mammography after Mastectomy.

Radiology
Background Limited data are available regarding the accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms trained on bilateral mammograms for second breast cancer surveillance in patients with a personal history of breast cancer treated with unilateral...

Safety and Feasibility of Single-Port Robotic-Assisted Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy.

JAMA surgery
IMPORTANCE: Robotic-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomies with multiport robots have been described in the US since 2015; however, significant hurdles to multiport robotic surgery exist in breast surgery.

Ethanol Sclerotherapy for Postoperative Seroma of the Breast and Axilla.

Journal of breast imaging
OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the effectiveness of alcohol sclerotherapy in postoperative breast and axillary seromas.
