OBJECTIVE Lobular intra-epithelial neoplasia (LIN) is a rare breast disease that has been regarded alternately as a risk factor for invasive breast cancer in both breasts or a true breast cancer precursor. The controversy is largely dependent on the estimation of the IBC (Invasive Breast Cancer) risk after LIN; however a systematic review of the published data has not been previously performed....

PurposeMulticatheter interstitial brachytherapy (MIB) and external-beam (EB) radiotherapy are established partial-breast irradiation (PBI) techniques. Although EB-PBI is widely available, it requires extra irradiated margins for target uncertainties. We examined the impact of on dose–volume constraints as compared to MIB-PBI.Methods MaterialsAmong 653 patients receiving MIB-PBI between October ...

BACKGROUND Identifying risk factors for breast cancer specific to women in their 40s could inform screening decisions. PURPOSE To determine what factors increase risk for breast cancer in women aged 40 to 49 years and the magnitude of risk for each factor. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE (January 1996 to the second week of November 2011), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Cochrane Dat...

BACKGROUND Women with a personal history of breast cancer (PHBC) have increased risk of an interval cancer. We aimed to identify risk factors for second (ipsilateral or contralateral) screen-detected or interval breast cancer within 1 year of screening in PHBC women. METHODS Screening mammograms from women with history of early-stage breast cancer at Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium-affi...

Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second most common cause of death from cancer in women.The aim of this studywas to determine which is more accurate imaging test mammography or ultrasound for diagnosis of breast cancer based on the women's age and breast density. We examined 546 patients with breast symptoms, by clinical breast examination, mammography and ultrasound. A total of ...

BACKGROUND Evidence-based screening guidelines are needed for women under 40 with a family history of breast cancer, a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, or other risk factors. An accurate assessment of breast cancer risk is required to balance the benefits and risks of surveillance, yet published studies have used narrow risk assessment schemata for enrollment. Breast density limits the sensitivity of f...
