Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in locally advanced breast tumors may allow an adequate control of the disease impossible with surgery alone. Moreover, NACT increases the chance of breast-conserving surgery. Between 2008 and 2012, we treated with NACT 83 patients with locally advanced breast cancer. We report the preliminary results evaluating the impact of NACT on the type of surgery.

The authors describe their surgical technique for pilonidal sinus outpatient total excision with local anaesthesia and primary repair of surgical wound. The results for recurrences and off work short time are good. Fewer complications and recurrences are observed in comparison to patients treated with general anaesthesia. For decreasing recurrence rate, the Authors stress the importance of body weight control and correct local hygiene. Local anaesthesia is safe e cost-effectiveness for outpatient treatment of the pilonidal sinus.

Authors review their outpatient lymph node biopsies in order to verify safety and diagnostic accuracy. They didn't observe any complication and in every case, the procedure provided the correct diagnosis. Lymph node biopsy is the procedure of choice to study the pharmacologic therapy non responsive lymph node pathology that is not surely defined by fine needle aspiration, as almost always in lymphomas.
