Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Breast cancer surgery is a challenging and fast-evolving surgical specialisation. As such, we are pleased to introduce the upcoming Special Issue of Medicina on the topic of breast cancer surgery, with a particular focus on new advances in surgical approaches and localisation techniques.

This SI will publish all types of articles focused on any aspects of breast cancer surgery, such as axillary surgery, breast tumour surgery, and oncoplastic surgery. We also aim to publish work on the localisation techniques for impalpable lesions or lymph node localisation, which are crucial for contemporary surgery.

Historically, the gold standard for impalpable breast tumour localisation was wire-guided localisation; however, in recent years, modern localisation methods such as iodine seed or magnetic seed localisation have emerged and became a new standard for tumour localisation. Finally, due to more frequent indications of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), pathological lymph node localisation also takes place during breast cancer surgery, enabling targeted axillary dissection after NAC.

We would be delighted to receive and publish your article as part of this Special Issue.

Introduction: Symptomatic calcifications of the breast or skin after breast cancer surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy are a rare entity, with only a few case reports published worldwide, reducing the patient’s quality of life, whilst asymptomatic calcifications are a common finding on imaging methods. Case presentation: Herein, we present a rare case report of calcifications after mastectomy and post-mastectomy radiation therapy causing chronic inflammation with ulceration and fistula formation, with a two-step surgical approach consisting of excision with linear suture and excision with the reconstruction using a thoraco-epigastric flap. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first publication proving the feasibility of this therapy in patients with symptomatic dystrophic calcifications of the skin or the breast. Moreover, the article provides an up-to-date review of published studies about symptomatic calcifications after breast cancer surgery and radiotherapy with a focus on the time of the clinical manifestation from the radiotherapy and the used radiotherapy scheme.
