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 ...
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 ...
Bilateral mammoplasty for cancer: Surgical, oncological and patient-reported outcomes.
(2017-01)
Introduction Bilateral mammoplasty (BM) can optimise oncological safety and aesthetic outcomes in women with large or ptotic breasts whose tumour to breast volume ratio or tumour location pose a challenge to standard ...
