| [ Summary ] | Among all types of cancer in women, breast cancer ranks first, and there is expected to be an increased frequency of breast cancer in dialysis patients in the future. In addition to the earlier methods of treating breast cancer, various types of surgical procedures have been developed in recent years. Although there are certain restrictions in dialysis patients, the same positive diagnosis and the same positive medical treatment as for non-dialysis patients is possible with proper selection and use of medicines and by appropriately performing whole body management for approximately one week before and one week after operations. | |
