White Matter Brain Changes In Post-Chemotherapy Breast Cancer Patients

White Matter Brain Changes In Post-Chemotherapy Breast Cancer Patients Overview In this study, the objective was to evaluate white matter microstructural changes in older breast cancer survivors 5-15 years post-chemotherapy treatment. The participants included breast cancer survivors aged 65 or older who underwent chemotherapy (C+) and those who did not (C-), along

Encapsulated Papillary Carcinoma Membrane Characteristics

Encapsulated Papillary Carcinoma Membrane Characteristics Overview This study focused on encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC), a type of breast carcinoma characterized by a thick fibrous capsule-like structure surrounding the tumor, often interpreted as a thickened basement membrane (BM). The primary objective was to investigate the geometric properties of the EPC capsule and determine

Non-Invasive Breast Carcinoma Treatment Outcomes

Non-Invasive Breast Carcinoma Treatment Outcomes Overview Non-invasive breast carcinoma, distinct from invasive forms, can lead to local recurrence post-surgery, potentially progressing to invasive carcinoma and distant metastasis, impacting breast cancer prognosis. This study, involving 93 cases among 872 primary breast cancers, assessed outcomes. Surgical interventions, radiation, and endocrine therapy were common treatments.

Bone Mineral Density Screening Combined with Mammogram

Improving Bone Mineral Density Screening by Using Digital X-Radiogrammetry (DXR) Combined With Mammography Bone Mineral Density: THE STUDY Osteoporosis is often underdiagnosed and undertreated, especially in women.  In Australia, 2 in 5 women aged 50 or over will experience fragility fractures. Fractures associated with reduced bone mineral density (BMD) may cause disability

Pyrotinib therapy in HER2+ breast cancer

Pyrotinib therapy in HER2+ breast cancer Breast cancer with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) occurs in almost 15-20% of all breast cancers. This type of cancer also shows aggressive clinical behavior and has a poor prognosis. The development and use of anti-HER2 drugs have improved outcomes for patients with

Breast Tomosynthesis Simulator for Virtual Clinical Trials

Breast Tomosynthesis Simulator for Virtual Clinical Trials Summary  The use of computer models and simulation in predicting the clinical performance of x-ray imaging devices in silico and generating synthetic patient images for training and testing of machine learning algorithms is widely accepted today.  In this study, the researchers presented a detailed description of
