This study describes a standardized surgical procedure for single-port endoscopic axillary lymph node dissection without liposuction in breast cancer. Indicated for patients with biopsy-confirmed nodal metastasis or positive sentinel lymph nodes, the technique emphasizes preservation of critical structures, particularly the intercostobrachial nerve, to reduce postoperative morbidity and optimize functional recovery.

Activation of latent mutations with adenovirus-Cre into the mammary ductal system results in a clinically relevant metastatic breast cancer. Incorporation of a YFP promoter allows tracking of distal metastatic tumor cells. This model is useful to study latent metastasis, anti-tumor immunity, and for designing novel immunotherapies to treat breast cancer.

We have developed a collagen-based in vitro assay which promotes proliferation and invasion from samples of all breast cancer subtypes. Optical Projection Tomography, a three dimensional microscopy technique was utilised to visualise and quantify tumour expansion. This assay may be used to quantify drug response of individual tumour samples.
FAQs
Controlled touch stimulates cutaneous sensory receptors in the breast and surrounding areas. The resulting response may be localized physically or expressed behaviorally through changes in relaxation, posture, facial expression, or avoidance. Because these responses can vary between individuals, researchers need to describe the applied movements and conditions clearly before interpreting observed effects.
Hand position, movement direction, pressure, duration, and individual sensitivity all shape the response. Changing any one of these factors can alter how touch is perceived and whether a person appears relaxed, avoids contact, or shows another behavioral change. Recording these variables helps distinguish effects associated with the technique from differences in sensitivity or procedure.
Standardization reduces unnecessary variation in how contact is delivered. Consistent instructions for hand placement, stroking or circular movement, pressure, and duration make responses easier to compare across observations or participants. This improves the interpretation of tactile behavior and supports clearer evaluation of comfort, safety, and behavioral outcomes in clinical or research settings.
Researchers can document changes in posture, facial expression, relaxation, and avoidance. These observations provide behavioral information about how an individual responds to the touch conditions, but they should be interpreted alongside the recorded procedure and individual sensitivity. A clear observation record helps separate responses to the technique from undocumented changes in pressure, duration, or movement.
A consistent protocol should specify the hand position, movement direction, pressure, duration, and the breast or surrounding area involved. During or after the procedure, the observer can record relevant physical or behavioral responses, including posture, facial expression, relaxation, or avoidance. Keeping both the applied conditions and observed outcomes together improves reproducibility and interpretation.
In behavioral contexts, the technique can support structured study of responses to touch and help document how individuals react to controlled manual contact. In clinical contexts, standardized procedures may be used to examine comfort-related responses and changes in observable behavior. Its value comes from linking defined touch conditions with systematically recorded responses rather than relying on impressions alone.
