Physical characteristics, such as breast size and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), function as important features used by human males to assess female attractiveness. Males supposedly pay attention to these features because they serve as cues to fecundity and health. Here, we document that women with higher breast-to-underbreast ratio (large breasts) and women with relatively low WHR (narrow waists) h...

UNLABELLED Equilibrium radionuclide angiocardiography (ERNA) scans are used to evaluate left ventricular function and pericardial anatomy. A photopenic "U-halo" around the cardiac blood pool in the left anterior oblique (LAO) view is commonly seen with pericardial effusion. We describe findings of false-positive pericardial effusion due to breast attenuation in cancer patients. METHODS Severa...

Purpose: Previously, we found that gene expression in histologically normal breast epithelium (NlEpi) from women at high breast cancer risk can resemble gene expression in NlEpi from cancer-containing breasts. Therefore, we hypothesized that gene expression characteristic of a cancer subtype might be seen in NlEpi of breasts containing that subtype. Experimental Design: We examined gene express...

Abstract Background Mammography is currently the modality of choice for mass screening breast cancer, although its sensitivity low in dense breasts. Besides, higher density has been identified as independent risk factor so it conceptualized that women with breasts should be encouraged supplemental screening. In this study, we aimed to estimate distribution volumetric using fully automated Volpa...

Breast cancer is the type of with most and highest cases causing mortality in Indonesia, so an effective treatment required to reduce incidence rate due breasts. Most breast patients are diagnosed at advanced stage used limited risk death becomes higher. Along development human genome sequencing technology, genetic examination considered as that can be for early prevention management personally...

Aim: To explore the impact of mastectomy on body image women with breast cancer. Design: A qualitative study a phenomenological approach. Methods: Thirty (n = 30) post-mastectomy cancer were obtained through purposive sampling technique. Data collected using in-depth and semi-structured individual interviews to experiences participants meanings they attribute them. The data was analysed Van Ma...

POLICY STATEMENT BlueCHiP for Medicare and Commercial Products: Breast Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) may be considered medically necessary as a technique to deliver whole-breast irradiation in patients receiving treatment for left-sided breast cancer after breast conserving surgery, and for individuals with large breasts when treatment planning with 3-dimensional (3D) conformal result...

Breast cancer screening is known to reduce breast cancer mortality. A high breast density may affect this reduction. We assessed the effect of screening on breast cancer mortality in women with dense and fatty breasts separately. Analyses were performed within the Nijmegen (Dutch) screening programme (1975-2008), which invites women (aged 50-74 years) biennially. Performance measures were deter...

A relatively large number of women in their 40s with high-density breasts, in which it can be difficult to detect lesions, are encountered in mammography cancer screenings in Japan. Here, we retrospectively investigated factors related to breast density. Two hundred women (40-49 years old) were examined at the screening center in our hospital. Multivariate analysis showed that factors such as s...
