RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: The significant need for breast reconstruction resulting from the spread of oncoplastic breast surgery raises a number of systemic issues. Clarification and regulation of the indications are needed for aesthetic changes of the reconstructed breast due to oncotherapy treatments, ageing and technical problems of implants; a number of operations, targeted aesthetic goals as well as surgical capacities and financial background should also be determined. AIM: Our aim was to conduct a survey on the opinions and needs of the Hungarian breast cancer population about a modern breast reconstruction system. PATIENT AND METHOD: A study was conducted enrolling 500 patients who underwent mastectomy with immediate or delayed reconstruction. A structured questionnaire containing eleven questions was used to measure the attitude for loss and reconstruction of breast, the expectation of cosmetic outcome and qualification of the operating surgeon and the needs relating to the health system and funding. RESULTS: The median age was 47 years (min.-max.: 26-73), 59% (n = 294) was married and 52% (n = 260) had graduated in university. The majority of women (70%; n = 348) would like to have nakedly also similar breasts after the reconstruction process. To achieve this, 43% (n = 217) and 37% (n = 184) would undergo maximum two or four procedures, respectively, supported by the national health insurance company. 86% (n = 430) would like to choose qualified breast surgeon for her treatment. CONCLUSION: The modern oncoplastic treatment raises complex, systemic issues. Women with breast cancer would like to have qualified breast surgeons restoring their breasts by two operations, all funded by the national health insurance company.

Immediate implant-based postmastectomy breast reconstruction (IPMBR) with contralateral symmetrization has mostly short-term limited evidence of cosmetic outcomes. Because 84% of early-stage breast cancer patients have overall survival of more than 10 years, reconstructed breast symmetry should provide long-lasting results and acceptable patient satisfaction. Ageing, changes in body weight, and biomechanical changes after IPMBR and symmetrization may contribute to symmetry worsening. This non-interventional single-centre retrospective correlational study presents the clinical and aesthetic results of synthetic ULTRAPRO® mesh inner bra sling.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Sentinel biopsy technique was performed in Europe in 1996.It was a great improvement in the surgical treatment of breast cancer, it decreased the number of patients suffering from early and late morbidity following axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). In our paper we demonstrate the evolution of sentinel biopsy technique (SLNB), as well as the changes in our policy on axillary treatment in line with the European trends. METHODS: The authors of this article give an overview and analyse the relevant literature concerning sentinel lymph node biopsy and data of patients on whom sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed from 01/01/2001 to 31/12/2012. RESULTS: Between 2001 and 2013 we performed 3756 breast operations, 2742 of those were done for malignant disease. Altogether we performed 744 sentinel lymph node biopsies in the Uzsoki teaching Hospital. The proportion of SLNB patients is increasing, it was 24.6% between 2001-2006 and 29.2% between 2007-2012, respectively. The indication of SLNB is widening, there might be justification of the technique even by multifocal or multilocular disease, in male patients, after former breats surgery or even in pregnant patients. CONCLUSION: Histological examination of sentinel lymph node and its effect on complex treatment of breats cancer may place the role of surgical axillary staging in a brand new aspect in the near future perhaps.
