[Inflammatory breast cancer: clinical course, diagnosis and treatment]
Abstract:
To identify influence of different therapeutic and prognostic factors on survival, a review of the data on treatment of 197 patients with inflammatory breast cancer was carried out at the Dispensary (1994-2004). Multimodal treatment included combinations of radiotherapy, mastectomy and chemotherapy (CMF--75; CAF--98 and taxanes--9). Significantly lower survival was reported for patients with lymph node involvement (N1, N2 and N3) and those without mastectomy and radiotherapy. Overall 10-year survival was registered only in those who had received chemotherapy, radiotherapy and mastectomy (20.2% +/- 5.5); overall 5-year survival was 42.0% +/- 4.8.

Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the colonic...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
