Background: An important aspect of the surgical management of breast cancer is loco-regional control which can be accomplished by either breast conservation surgery or mastectomy. Objective: To examine the outcome of the operation of mastectomy with respect to the complications of the procedure. Methods: This is a retrospective study of all the patients who had a mastectomy for breast cancer in a Nigerian tertiary care centre from 1st January 2012 to March 2019. The hospital records of the patients were retrieved. Demographic and relevant clinical characteristics of the patients were extracted. Results: A total of 77 cases were eligible, 76 women and one man. The age range was 28-76 years. Right mastectomy was performed in 54.5% cases. Preoperative comorbiditiesincludedobesity(34%), hypertension (31.2%), anaemia (6.5%) and Diabetes mellitus (7.8%). Modified radical mastectomy was done in 51.9% cases, simple mastectomy in 36.4%, “Toilet Mastectomy”in 9.1%, and mastectomy after breast conservation treatment in 2%. Twenty-eight percent of the cases required a blood transfusion, 31.2% received neoadjuvant chemotherapy while 58.2% had adjuvant therapy. The complications observed included: haemorrhage (7.8%), seroma (9.1%), flap necrosis (9.1%) andtumourrecurrence (7.8%). As at the time of the report, 41.6 % were alive, 19.4% were dead and 39.0% were lost to follow-up. Conclusion:The complications of mastectomy were mostly haemorrhage, seroma,and flap necrosis, similar to previous reports from other parts of the world.

Background: The improvement in the treatment of breast cancer is due to early diagnosis, better understanding of the natural history of this disease and therapeutic improvements over the years. There is a gradual shift away from radical surgery advocated by Halsted to the breast conservative surgery during the last few decades all over the world mainly influenced by the results of several large trials of lesser surgical procedures. Methods: Hospital based descriptive study was conducted on patients with Early Breast Cancer presenting to the Department of General Surgery in Guru Gobind Singh Medical College & Hospital, Faridkot. Results: Mean blood loss of the subjects of the BCS group was observed to be 44.07±15.76 ml as compared to 94.36 ± 31.50 ml in the subjects of the MRM. Mean operative time of the subjects of the BCS group was observed to be 46.03±8.68 minutes as compared to the mean operative time of 64.03±16.56 minutes in the subjects of the MRM group. Mean VAS score on day-1 in BCS group and in MRM group was 5.3±1.98 and 6.73±1.70 respecively. Mean VAS score on day-3 in BCS group and in MRM group was 4.46±1.50 and 5.1±1.56 respectively. Mean VAS score on day-5 in BCS group and in MRM group was 2.96±0.76 and 2.96±1.06 respectively. Seroma Formation was observed in 3.33 % cases in BCS group and 16.67 % in MRM group. Flap necrosis was observed in 0 % in BCS group whereas 10.00 % of the patients had flap necrosis in MRM group. Positive margins were absent in both BCS group and MRM group. Wound infection was observed in 6.67% of the patients in the BCS group and 20.00% in the MRM group. Quality of life score for BCS and MRM was 108.53±14.62 and 95.26±14.70 respectively. Conclusion: Breast conservation surgery should be the preferred treatment for Stage-I and Stage-II Breast cancer disease due to its lesser post-operative pain, shorter duration of surgery, lesser blood loss and short hospital stay thus helping in early returning to normal activity. Breast conservation surgery has better outcomes compared with Modified radical mastectomy. Keywords: BCS, MRM, Breast surgery

Type Particle

We have reported the maturation of an intracisternal A-type particle in murine plasma cell tumor cultures and three human tumor cell cultures (rhabdomyosarcoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and osteogenic sarcoma) after IUDR-DMSO activation. In all of these studies the A-type particle seems to develop into a form with an electron dense nucleoid, presumably mature, which is also intracisternal. A similar intracisternal A-type particle has been described in leukemic guinea pigs. Although no biological activity has yet been demonstrated for these particles, on morphologic grounds, and by the manner in which they develop within the cell, they may represent members of the same family of viruses.

Metastatic Nodule

Since the report, which described the ultrastructure of a metastatic nodule of human breast cancer after estrogen therapy, additional ultrastructural observations, including some which are correlative with pertinent findings in the literature concerning mycoplasmas, have been recorded concerning the same subject. Specimen preparation was identical to that in.The mitochondria possessed few cristae, and were deteriorated and vacuolated. They often contained particulates and fibrous structures, sometimes arranged in spindle-shaped bundles, Fig. 1. Another apparent aberration was the occurrence, Fig. 2 (arrows) of linear profiles of what seems to be SER, which lie between layers of RER, and are often recognizably continuous with them.It was noted that the structure of the round bodies, interpreted as within autophagic vacuoles in the previous communication, and of vesicular bodies, described morphologically closely resembled those of some mycoplasmas. Specifically, they simulated or reflected the various stages of replication reported for mycoplasmas grown on solid nutrient. Based on this observation, they are referred to here as “mycoplasma-like” structures, in anticipation of confirmatory evidence from investigations now in progress.
