Patient and clinician satisfaction and clinical outcomes of Magseed compared with wire-guided localisation for impalpable breast lesions.
(2021-01)
Background Guide-wire localisation remains the most commonly used technique for localisation of impalpable breast lesions in the UK. One alternative is magnetic seed localisation. We aimed to investigate patient and clinician ...
Nipple sparing versus skin sparing mastectomy: a systematic review protocol.
(2016-05-20)
Introduction Breast cancer has a lifetime incidence of one in eight women. Over the past three decades there has been a move towards breast conservation and a focus on aesthetic outcomes while maintaining oncological safety. ...
Development of an online research platform for use in a large-scale multicentre study.
Background Participation in research can be beneficial for patients and healthcare providers, but may prove demanding at patient, clinician and organizational levels. Patient representatives are supportive of online research ...
3-Dimensional objective aesthetic evaluation to replace panel assessment after breast-conserving treatment.

Three-dimensional simulation of aesthetic outcome from breast-conserving surgery compared with viewing photographs or standard care: randomized clinical trial.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2021-10-23)
INTRODUCTION: Over half of women with surgically managed breast cancer in the UK undergo breast-conserving treatment (BCT). While photographs are shown prior to reconstructive surgery or complex oncoplastic procedures, ...
Systematic review of therapeutic nipple-sparing <i>versus</i> skin-sparing mastectomy.
(2019-04)
Background The use of nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is increasing, despite unproven oncological safety in the therapeutic setting. The aim of this systematic review was to determine the safety and efficacy of NSM compared ...

(2017-10)
Introduction Ultrasound (US) is the imaging modality of choice for staging the axilla prior to surgery in patients with breast cancer (BC). High pathological complete response rates in the axilla after NACT mean a more ...
A scoring system for 3D surface images of breast reconstruction developed using the Delphi consensus process.
(2020-09)
INTRODUCTION:Evaluation of aesthetics after breast reconstruction is challenging. In the absence of an objective measurement, panel assessment is widely adopted. Heterogeneity of scales and poor internal consistency make ...
