PURPOSE Breast ultrasonography (US) has been widely used in the preoperative examination of patients with breast cancer. Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category 3 (C3) lesions (probably benign) are regarded as having a low probability of malignancy (≤2%). The purposes of this study were to verify the malignancy rates for synchronous BI-RADS C3 lesions in patients with breast...

OBJECTIVE In the 10 most common primary types with bone metastases, we aimed to examine survival, further stratifying on bone metastases only or with additional synchronous metastases. METHODS We included all patients aged 18 years and older with incident hospital diagnosis of solid cancer between 1994 and 2010, subsequently diagnosed with BM until 2012. We followed patients from date of bone...

background: patients which have diagnosed with a cancer, have a life time risk for developing another de novo malignancy depending on various inherited, environmental and iatrogenic risk factors. cancer victims could survive longer due to settling treatment modalities, and then would likely develop a new metachronous malignancy. this article aims to report our observed trend of increasing, in p...

Synchronous cancer is referred to two or more histological distinct malignancies diagnosed during the same hospital admission. Globally more than 1 million people get colorectal cancer yearly resulting in about 0.5 million deaths. Vulvar cancer is the fourth most common gynecologic cancer (following the corpus uterine cancer, cancer of ovary and cervix) and comprises only 4 percent of malignanc...

PURPOSE Uncertainty remains about the impact of bilateral breast cancer. Characteristics and outcomes of unilateral and bilateral breast cancer were compared within an Australian multi-institutional cohort. METHODS Demographic, tumour and treatment characteristics were compared among unilateral (n = 2336) and bilateral cases (52 synchronous, 35 metachronous) using descriptive analyses. Diseas...

BACKGROUND Synchronous bilateral breast cancer is rare. A case is presented where whole breast irradiation (WBI) was planned after breast conserving surgery in a patient with synchronous bilateral breast cancer. A comparison was made between the feasibility of helical tomotherapy and direct tomotherapy. CASE REPORT A 60-year-old woman was found to have bilateral breast nodules on routine mammog...
