Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in breast tissue, and it is one of the more common cancers in women. Surgical and reconstruction techniques continue to advance, and outcomes are generally good when the cancer is found early. If a breast screening shows an abnormal result, or if you notice a lump or a change in the skin, please see a medical specialist.

#microsurgical reconstruction, #free flap, #perforator flap, #lower limb reconstruction, #head and neck reconstruction, #microvascular surgery

Microsurgical reconstruction is surgery in which tissue taken from another part of the patient's own body is transplanted to repair a large defect in the skin or tissue caused by conditions such as trauma, cancer, or diabetes. It is a highly complex operation in which blood vessels 1–2 mm in diameter are connected under a microscope, and it is used for legs at risk of amputation and for repairing defects after head and neck cancer surgery.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become weaker and can break easily even from a minor impact. There are often no symptoms, and it is frequently discovered only after a fracture occurs. The risk is higher in postmenopausal women and older adults, so regular bone density testing and preventive lifestyle habits are important. Please be sure to discuss treatment options with a medical specialist.

Radiation Therapy

#radiation therapy, #anticancer therapy, #cancer treatment, #lack of energy, #lethargy, #persistent fatigue, #dry cough, #frequent mild cough, #persistent cough, #loose stool, #watery diarrhea, #frequent bowel movements

Radiation therapy is a treatment that uses high-energy radiation to damage the DNA of cancer cells, which stops their growth and ultimately destroys them. Some normal cells are also damaged, but they usually recover more quickly than cancer cells and may return to normal function after treatment ends.

Robotic Mastectomy for Breast Cancer

#Breast cancer, #Mastectomy, #Robotic surgery, #Nipple-sparing, #Breast reconstruction, #BRCA, #Nipple necrosis, #Minimally invasive surgery

Robotic mastectomy is a minimally invasive surgery in which a surgeon controls a robotic system to remove the breast. A “mastectomy” refers to surgery that removes the entire breast. Compared with conventional surgery, the incisions are smaller and placed differently, offering a cosmetic advantage. Breast reconstruction may also be performed at the same time if needed. Whether this approach is right for you should be decided after a thorough discussion with your doctor.

Secondhand smoke exposure, also called passive smoking, means that a person who does not smoke breathes in smoke from a smoker's cigarette. Tobacco smoke contains thousands of chemicals, including carcinogens (substances that can cause cancer), and long exposure in an enclosed space can be harmful even to nonsmokers. If you are concerned about secondhand smoke, please consult a medical specialist.
