OBJECTIVE: Human milk is universally accounted as the preeminent source of nutrition for infants. Surprisingly, no approved diagnostic tests are available for the diagnosis of physical condition of the breast. Somatic cell count (SCC) is a key tool commonly used in the dairy industry to provide evidence of udder health, which in turn determines the quality of bovine and cattle milk. Elevated levels of somatic cells in milk are observed during intra-mammary infectious state in bovine animals, which is due to active participation of the immune system...

REVIEW

Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer in Turkey and other countries. It is not sufficient for women with breast cancer to receive medical treatment protocols (i.e. surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy) to overcome their disease. Breast cancer has biopsychosocial effects on the patients. Provision and maintenance of biopsychosocial wellbeing of the patients during and after the medical treatment process should be one of the primary treatment criteria. It is important for women with breast cancer to develop new strategies to adapt to the disease and treatment processes and to cope with their disease...

REVIEW
Vahit Özmen
Breast cancer management changed from radical mastectomy to precision medicine in a period longer than a century. The aims of these changes were to refrain from overdiagnoses and overtreatments as well as their harmful side effects and extra costs. Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease and characterized by many morphological, clinical and molecular features. We now increasingly realise that a one-size-fits-all strategy does not apply to all breast cancer patients. Personalized medicine may be used for breast cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment...

Nowadays, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the most frequently used modalities in the treatment of breast cancer. It is very well-known that some severe complications may result from after these treatments. Early and late complications of radiotherapy are well known. The complications of radiation therapy may be seen in (early) or after three months (late-delayed) of periods. These complications may be related with direct or indirect effect of radiation. The radiation fibrosis syndrome is a progressive fibrotic tissue sclerosis together with various clinical symptoms in the irradiation field...

Liquid foreign material injection has been used as an early medical intervention since the end of nineteenth century for the augmentation of body shape. Nowadays, these types of procedures have been abandoned by health professionals due to late onset of serious complications. However, it is still misused by some subcultures such as bodybuilders, passive homosexuals, transsexuals, and patients with mental illness. This article discusses a male patient who injected himself with a large amount of sunflower oil, which became complicated by an inflammatory response-abscess formation and sclerosing lipogranuloma of breasts...

We present a woman aged 50 years who underwent a Tru-cut biopsy for a BI-RADS 4 lesion on her right breast and received a histopathology diagnosis of a fibroadenoma. In her one year follow-up, the lesion had progressed and she underwent an excisional biopsy. Her final diagnosis was a periductal stromal tumor. Periductal stromal tumor is an extremely rare and different entity from phylloides tumor, which makes appropriate diagnosis difficult in Tru-cut biopsy and care should be taken. Lesion progression of should require a re-biopsy...

Gestational gigantomastia is a rare condition characterized by fast, disproportionate and excessive breast growth, decreased quality of life in pregnancy, and presence of psychologic as well as physical complications. The etiology is not fully understood, although hormonal changes in pregnancy are considered responsible. Prolactin is the most important hormone. To date, 125 cases of gigantomastia have been reported in the literature. In this case presentation, we report a pregnant woman aged 26 years with a 22-week gestational age with gestational gigantomastia and review the diagnosis and treatment of this rare disease in relation with the literature...
