Breast irradiation and lactation: a review
TLDR
Anatomical and histopathological aspects and the probability of lactation and breast feeding after breast irradiation are reviewed and lactation is possible after radiotherapy, present in at least 50% of the patients, but in reduced volume.Abstract:
The incidence of breast cancer in premenopausal women is increasing and many of them still remain fertile after treatment. Allied to the current tendency to postpone pregnancy, it is expected that an increasing number of patients undergoing conservative treatment for breast cancer will get pregnant. Anatomical and histopathological aspects and the probability of lactation and breast feeding after breast irradiation are reviewed in this article. Lactation is possible after radiotherapy, present in at least 50% of the patients, but in reduced volume. This perspective is more correlated to the type of surgery and radiation dose used. Biochemical changes were observed in irradiated breast milk. Breastfeeding in the contralateral breast is not affected.read more

Global cancer statistics
TL;DR: A substantial proportion of the worldwide burden of cancer could be prevented through the application of existing cancer control knowledge and by implementing programs for tobacco control, vaccination, and early detection and treatment, as well as public health campaigns promoting physical activity and a healthier dietary intake.

TL;DR: This consensus statement is intended to provide guidance regarding the use ofAPBI outside of a clinical trial and to serve as a framework to promote additional clinical investigations into the optimal role of APBI in the treatment of breast cancer.

TL;DR: Recommendations will provide clinical guidance regarding the use of APBI outside the context of a clinical trial before large-scale randomized clinical trial outcome data become available and should promote further clinical research focusing on controversial issues in the treatment of early-stage breast carcinoma.
