Summary
Ultrasound-guided surgery for breast cancer improves effectiveness, reducing the need for further treatment and enhancing cosmetic outcomes. This technique offers a cost-effective and easily learned approach for better patient results.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Surgical Oncology
- Radiology
Background:
- Perioperative ultrasound guidance is increasingly recognized for its benefits in breast cancer surgery.
- Existing literature highlights its potential to improve surgical outcomes for both palpable and nonpalpable tumors.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided surgery in breast carcinoma.
- To assess the impact of this technique on surgical outcomes, including radical resection rates, need for re-operation or radiotherapy, and cosmetic results.
Main Methods:
- Review of recent literature on perioperative ultrasound-guided breast cancer surgery.
- Analysis of outcomes related to radical resection, additional surgery, radiotherapy, and cosmetic results.
Main Results:
- Ultrasound-guided surgery significantly improves radical resection rates.
- It decreases the need for additional surgery and radiotherapy.
- The technique leads to better cosmetic outcomes by reducing excessive tissue removal.
Conclusions:
- Ultrasound-guided surgery is an effective, cost-effective, and easily learned method for breast cancer treatment.
- Increased awareness among surgeons and radiologists is recommended to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...

Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

02:12What is Cancer?
14.5K
Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.

To obtain accurate blood pressure measurements in clinical settings, especially when traditional methods are insufficient, healthcare professionals utilize the Doppler ultrasound technique. This method uses high-frequency sound waves to detect blood flow within the arteries, which is crucial for patients with conditions that complicate circulatory system assessment.

Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...
