The Breast Health Global Initiative (BHGI) applied an evidence-based consensus review process to develop guidelines for breast cancer early detection, diagnosis, and treatment in low- and middle-income countries (LMCs) including those in Latin America. Breast cancer outcomes correlate with the degree to which 1) cancers are detected early, 2) cancers can be diagnosed correctly, and 3) proper mu...

objective: to assess the level of awareness on breast cancer among women of reproductive age. materials and methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in opd of dhaka medical college hospital among the 175 respondents by face to face interview using pretested semi structured questionnaire. results: one forth (23%) aged 21-25 years, mostly muslim (86.3%), housewives (72.57%), had...

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor found in women, and there no cure for advanced breast cancer. Early detection treatment can effectively improve patient survival. This paper uses five machine learning classification models, namely Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression (LR), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbors Algorithm (KNN). The training data...

Objective: Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignant disease among women and ranks top three common cancers globally, alongside lung colon cancer. Various subtypes of breast have been identified. Primary neuroendocrine cancer, a rare distinct type carcinoma, lacks specific radiological findings. The definitive diagnosis achieved through expression Synaptophysin Chromogranin A on tumor biops...

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the world. The most important prognostic factor in this cancer is the stage of the tumor. Detection of lymph nodes with or without malignancy is essential for determining the stage of the tumor and setting a therapeutic plan. There are different methods for isolating lymph nodes in surgical specimens of breast cancer in the pathology ...

Breast cancer is the second highest cause of female death in UK. Early detection breast has been advanced through mammography screening programme, however this not always effective for women with dense tissue. There little published research discussing alternative approaches tissue.This article reports findings a literature review that appraised evidence on nurses’ knowledge and implications wh...

UNLABELLED Breast-specific γ-imaging (BSGI) is a physiologic imaging modality that can detect subcentimeter and mammographically occult breast cancer, with a sensitivity and specificity comparable to MRI. The purpose of this study was to determine the incremental increase in breast cancer detection when BSGI is used as an adjunct to mammography in women at increased risk for breast cancer. ME...

PURPOSE To assess the effect of tumor detection method (screening versus symptom-based diagnosis) in predicting breast cancer survival and investigate how biological features of breast cancer are related to the tumor detection method. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study population consisted of 5,481 women diagnosed with primary invasive breast cancer between 1997 and 2005 and received their treatm...

PURPOSE We aimed to compare the detection of breast cancer using full-field digital mammography (FFDM), FFDM with computer-aided detection (FFDM+CAD), ultrasound (US), and FFDM+CAD plus US (FFDM+CAD+US), and to investigate the factors affecting cancer detection. METHODS In this retrospective study conducted from 2008 to 2012, 48,251 women underwent FFDM and US for cancer screening. One hundre...
