Journal ArticleDOI
Preoperative MRI and surgical management in patients with nonpalpable breast cancer: the MONET - randomised controlled trial.
Nicky H. G. M. Peters,S. van Esser,M. A. A. J. van den Bosch,Remmert K Storm,Peter W. Plaisier,T. van Dalen,Suzanne C. E. Diepstraten,Teun Weits,Pieter J. Westenend,Gerard Stapper,M.A. Fernandez-Gallardo,I. H. M. Borel Rinkes,R. van Hillegersberg,W.P.Th.M. Mali,P. H. M. Peeters +14 more
TL;DR: Addition of MRI to routine clinical care in patients with nonpalpable breast cancer was paradoxically associated with an increased re-excision rate, and breast MRI should not be used routinely for preoperative work-up of patients withNonpalpables breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasound-Guided Laser-Induced Thermal Therapy for Small Palpable Invasive Breast Carcinomas: A Feasibility Study
S. van Esser,G. Stapper,P. J. Van Diest,M. A. A. J. van den Bosch,J. H. G. M. Klaessens,W.P.Th.M. Mali,I. H. M. Borel Rinkes,R. van Hillegersberg +7 more
TL;DR: Successful LITT of invasive breast cancer seems to be feasible when confined to small (<2 cm) nonlobular carcinomas without surrounding extensive in-situ component and angioinvasion, however, to implement LITT in a curative setting, improvements in imaging to more reliably preoperatively assess tumor size and monitoring of fiber tip placement and treatment affect are essential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy of contrast-enhanced breast ultrasound for pre-operative tumor size assessment in patients diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast.
S. van Esser,Wouter B. Veldhuis,R. van Hillegersberg,P. J. Van Diest,Gerard Stapper,M ElOuamari,I H M Borel Rinkes,W.P.Th.M. Mali,M. A. A. J. van den Bosch +8 more
TL;DR: CEUS of the breast proved to be a feasible and safe procedure and more accurate than gray-scale ultrasound for pre-operative size assessment of invasive ductal breast carcinomas and was significantly more accurate for tumor size assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of a 1-day and a 2-day protocol for lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy in patients with nonpalpable breast cancer.
S. van Esser,Monique G.G. Hobbelink,J. W. Van Isselt,W.P.Th.M. Mali,I. H. M. Borel Rinkes,R. van Hillegersberg +5 more
TL;DR: There was no significant difference in the identification rate of the sentinel node between the 1- day protocol and the 2-day protocol in patients diagnosed with a nonpalpable breast carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgical Outcome of Patients with Core-Biopsy-Proven Nonpalpable Breast Carcinoma: A Large Cohort Follow-Up Study
S. van Esser,Nicky H. G. M. Peters,M. A. A. J. van den Bosch,W.P.Th.M. Mali,P. H. M. Peeters,I. H. M. Borel Rinkes,R. van Hillegersberg +6 more
TL;DR: There is room for improvement in the surgical treatment of nonpalpable breast carcinomas, especially the relatively favorable in situ carcinoma, as it requires significantly more excisions, mastectomies, conversions to mastectomy, and days for complete removal.
