Improved overall survival after contralateral risk-reducing mastectomy in brca1/2 mutation carriers with a history of unilateral breast cancer : A prospective analysis

TL;DR: It is concluded that CRRM is associated with improved overall survival in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers with a history of PBC, and survival benefit was especially seen in young PBC patients (<40 years, in patients having a PBC with differentiation grade 1/2 and/or no triple‐negative phenotype, and in patients not treated with adjuvant chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

'Reconstruction: before or after postmastectomy radiotherapy?' A systematic review of the literature.

TL;DR: A definite implant reconstruction placed before radiotherapy limits the rate of complications and for autologous reconstruction, less fibrosis is seen if reconstruction is performed after radiotherapy, but timing had no significant impact on total complication rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

MRI versus mammography for breast cancer screening in women with familial risk (FaMRIsc): a multicentre, randomised, controlled trial

TL;DR: MRI screening detected cancers at an earlier stage than mammography in women with familial risk of breast cancer, and the lower number of late-stage cancers identified in incident rounds might reduce the use of adjuvant chemotherapy and decrease breast cancer-related mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of MRI in axillary lymph node imaging in breast cancer patients: a systematic review.

TL;DR: The diagnostic performance of some MRI protocols for excluding axillary lymph node metastases approaches the NPV needed to replace SLNB, however, current observations are based on studies with heterogeneous study designs and limited populations.
