Fat necrosis is evidence of a prior biopsy or other trauma. It can be hard, painful, calcified, or discolored. By clinical examination it may be very suspicious for malignancy. It is also very distracting in interpreting reexcision biopsies, where the prior surgery has left extensive fat necros...
Breast cancer is a common malignancy and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. Its early diagnosis can significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality rates in women. To this end, histopathological diagnosis is usually followed as
In this large-scale prospective study of 259 participants, our primary outcome was to prove that women with positive biopsy for BC exhibit higher cfDNA levels. 140 women were found positive, and 119 were negative. Counter to our expectations, we found no significant difference in cfDNA levels in...
Nonetheless, the appearance of fat necrosis can mimic malignancy, and further workup with mammography, ultrasound, and even biopsy may be necessary.32 Sign in to download hi-res image Fig. 13. A 68-year-old woman with fat necrosis. Axial CT image (A) and MLO mammogram (B) show a ...
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a highly aggressive subtype of breast cancer, negatively expresses estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Although chemotherapy is the main form of treatmen

Net benefit is defined as the proportion of true positives minus the proportion of false positives weighted by the relative harm of false-positive and false-negative results28. Notably, DCA showed that the nomogram added more benefit for predicting breast malignancy than either the treat-all scheme...
Over recent decades, the sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has been validated by several studies and has become the standard management for patients with clinically node-negative primary invasive breast cancer. Intraoperative frozen section analysis of sentinel lymph node has been shown to be accurate...
