A retrospective study included 25 cases with inflammatory breast cancer. The patients were admitted to AL-Assad University Hospital, Lattakia, Syria (average age 55, and range 49-61 years old). The most common clinical signs and symptoms were: erythe ma 100%, edema 100%, enlarged axillary nodes 100%, Nipple flattened/inverted 96%, warm Breast 92%, Ridges/thickening of breast 84%, Peau d’orange 88%, painful/tender Breast 88%, and Mass 80%. Mammography findings were: an increase in skin thickness 100%, an increased tissue density in the involved breast 100%, and an asymmetric widening of the sub-cutaneous lymphatic vessels 33.33%. 80% of cases were diagnosed as stage IV. All patients received primary neoadjuvant chemotherapy for three cycles. After that a modified radical breast mastectomy and axillary lymph nodes dissection were performed for all patients. The wound edges were closed primarily after dissecting the skin in 76%, for 4 patients 16% a split-thickness skin grafts were performed, and for 2 patients 8% a Latissimus dorsi pedicled myocutaneous flap was performed.
112 patients with suspected breast lesions were investigated using Scintimammography with 99mTc-MIBI, mammography and magnetic resonance to compare the diagnostic accuracy of Scintimammography with that of mammography and magnetic resonance in the d etecting of primary breast cancer. Excisional biopsy was taken after 7-10 days of Scintimammography. 70 patients were diagnosed with breast cancer; 55 palpable and 15 non-palpable lesions, while 42, 30 palpable and 12 non-palpable were diagnosed as benign lesions. The sensitivity of the three methods were high and approximate (89% by Scintimammography, 90% by mammography and 94% by magnetic resonance), while Scintimammography showed higher specificity (86%) versus 21% for mammography and 50% for magnetic resonance. The high specificity in addition to high positive (91%) and negative (82%) predictive values of Scintimammography resulted in a highly accurate diagnostic (87%) method compared to mammography (64%) and magnetic resonance (78%) procedures. Through the complementary use of Scintimammography it is possible to increase the sensitivity for the detection of breast cancer. In patients in whom the status of a palpable breast mass remains unclear, Scintimammography may help to reduce the amount of unnecessary biopsies.

The study included 1,800 patients who were admitted in the following departments (surgery, internal and gynecology department) at AL- ASSAD University Hospital in Lattakia in 2011-2012 from the age of 40 years and above. The study, which was based on a built-in statistical form of risk factors for breast cancer, showed that the percentage of the infected was 9,8%. All risk factors including ageing ,obesity, lack or absence of birth, late age at first childbirth, early puberty, late menopause, hormonal treatment, injuring a first degree relative, staying in cities and the size of bras increase the risk of breast cancer and the impact is worth respectively: 0,115-0,387-0,178-0,157-0,143-0,217-0,15-0,030-0,092-0,244-0,212.
