Abstract:
:Surgical treatment of locally advanced or recurrent breast cancer involving the chest wall continues to play a role in the therapeutic armamentarium as part of the multidisciplinary treatment regimen. Significant progress has been made in chest wall resections and reconstructions, thanks to the availability of novel materials and tissue transfer methods. The understanding of cancer biology and behavior, and novel drugs further improved the field. Patient selection and superb knowledge of the most recent and effective treatment options are necessary to maximize the survival benefit and quality of life for patients affected with breast cancer involving the chest wall.

杂志文章,评审abstract::In recent years, the subxiphoid approach has been used to avoid intercostal nerve damage in the field of thoracic surgery. A subxiphoid single-port thymectomy does not require sternotomy; it is associated with lesser pain because there is no intercostal nerve damage; and it provides excellent cosmetic outcomes. Furthe...
