The European Commission approved Enhertu with pertuzumab as first-line treatment for adults with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer.
Two sisters in their 30s were diagnosed with breast cancer six weeks apart after each found a breast lump.
A Yonsei Cancer Center team found that RAD51D-mutated breast cancer showed aggressive features but responded strongly to chemotherapy before surgery, suggesting a potential treatment-response marker.
Korean breast specialist societies issued guidance on when vacuum-assisted excision, commonly known as Mammotome, fits a particular patient.
A joint team at Korea’s National Cancer Center and UNIST identified the mitochondrial protein TRAP1 as the factor that turns normal fat cells into cancer-associated adipocytes.

Scar tissue forms around every breast implant as a normal part of healing — here’s what that capsule does, and the point at which a routine response can turn into a problem.
Every implant is wrapped in scar tissue — here is what happens when that capsule contracts, and how surgeons decide between watching and revising.
A vacuum-assisted device can remove many benign breast lumps through a skin opening a few millimeters wide — here is how the procedure works and where its limits lie.
A rare condition linked mainly to certain implant surfaces has raised understandable questions — here’s a calm look at what is known and how doctors approach monitoring.
Reconstruction can begin on the operating table with mastectomy or months to years later — the timing is a medical decision as much as a personal one.
Deciding to take breast implants out opens a second question — whether to remove them only, exchange them, or remove them and lift the breast — and each path asks something different of the tissue.
Cohesive silicone implants can rupture without symptoms — imaging is how these failures are found, and how replacement decisions get made.
Flap reconstruction rebuilds a breast from the patient’s own skin and fat — a longer operation with a different set of trade-offs from an implant.
After a breast surgery that didn’t turn out as hoped, the instinct is to fix it quickly — yet surgeons often counsel waiting, because tissue that is still healing tells an unreliable story.
Between mastectomy and a final implant often comes a months-long middle chapter — regular saline fills that stretch skin and muscle a little at a time.
When an implant’s edges show or ripple through thin tissue, transferring a patient’s own fat over the top can soften the contour — a supporting move in revision rather than a replacement for it.
Breast reconstruction after cancer surgery follows two broad paths — implant-based and autologous — each with its own timeline, trade-offs and recovery.
Every breast implant has a serial number, a registry entry and a manufacturer program behind it — paperwork that matters most years after surgery.
A soft bulge near the armpit is often not fat but accessory breast tissue — a common developmental leftover — and understanding it helps explain the options for smoothing it away.
Not every implant problem is a rupture — visible wrinkling and implants that drift out of position are among the most common reasons revision surgery is discussed.
In oncoplastic surgery, a breast surgeon and a plastic surgeon plan one operation together — cancer control first, shape considered from the start.
