Abstract：
Introduction Auricular acupuncture (AA) can be used for both diagnosis and therapy. Diagnosis done with AA has become more prominent, with inspection by evaluating skin alterations considered the most important step. Literature on AA diagnosis in cancer patients is scarce. Globally, breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women. Materials and methods Subjects accessing the outpatient Breast Unit Clinic of Padua for BC were evaluated for auricle angiomas, with collected data including a number of angiomas, Romoli\'s Sectogram sector of identified angiomas, laterality of the auricle with the angioma, age, and laterality of BC. Results Of the 438 subjects evaluated, 129 had BC, and 64 had an identifiable auricle angioma. The odds of an auricular angioma were higher in subjects with BC diagnosis, mainly localized in tumor area II and predominantly ipsilateral to the side affected by BC. Conclusions AA auricle inspection is a simple, quick, and easy diagnostic tool. Screening for the presence and location of auricular angiomas may help health practitioners refer women for BC screening for early diagnosis.
摘要：
简介耳针（AA）可用于诊断和治疗。AA的诊断变得更加突出，通过评估皮肤变化进行检查被认为是最重要的步骤。关于癌症患者AA诊断的文献很少。全球范围内,乳腺癌（BC）是女性最常见的癌症。材料和方法评估了进入帕多瓦门诊病人的乳腺癌患者的耳廓血管瘤，收集的数据包括一些血管瘤，Romoli的确定的血管瘤的部门图，有血管瘤的耳廓偏侧，年龄,和BC的偏侧性。结果在评估的438名受试者中，129有BC，64例患有可识别的耳廓血管瘤。在有BC诊断的受试者中，耳廓血管瘤的几率更高，主要位于肿瘤II区，主要位于受BC影响一侧的同侧。结论AA耳廓检查是一种简便,快,和简单的诊断工具。筛查耳廓血管瘤的存在和位置可能有助于健康医生转介女性进行BC筛查以进行早期诊断。
