Of 888 manuscripts identified, 28 articles met the inclusion criteria; 12 studies (n = 578 patients) used objective measures to examine sensitivity, such as monofilament testing; 16 studies (n = 1,785 patients) evaluated PROMs via validated or investigator-generated surveys – 3 of the included ...
Screening MRI may be helpful for women for whom mammography is not optimal, such as young women at substantially increased risk for breast cancer because of known BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. Available data are limited to studies of test characteristics in women at high risk (Table 4),91-98 an...
Moreover, a significant limitation impeding the use of both radiofrequency identification tags and Magseed as localization techniques is that both could result in signal void artefacts (2 and 4 cm, respectively) during follow-up MRI scans; depending on the MRI sequence, the Magseed could create ...
Quality: Study did not meet criteria for fair or good quality. Setting: Study was not conducted in a setting relevant to US practice. KQ indicates key question. Figure 3. Proportion of Screen-Detected Invasive Cancers Diagnosed (Advanced Stage [II or Higher], Tumor Size >20 mm, Tumor Grade...
5.1. Diagnosis of lynch syndrome Identifying patients at risk for HNPCC-related ovarian and endometrial cancer was previously done using a combination of family history and clinical criteria known as Amsterdam cri- teria-I. However, this method excluded extra-colonic malig- nancies, which prevented ...
The cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction criteria proposed by the ASE/EACVI consensus are often used in clinical diagnosis [15]. In particular, the percentage change in global longitudinal strain (GLS) shows increasing potential as the strongest predictor of cardiotoxicity [15], [16], [17]....
(Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 + Epirubicin 90 mg/m2). Prior to the third cycle of chemotherapy and surgery, US was utilized again to evaluate the size of tumor and LN of the affected breast. After completion of chemotherapy, MRI was performed once again to assess any residual disease. ...
We assume all eligible women in the population-based testing arm and those meeting family history–based testing criteria in the family history–based testing arm receive genetic counseling. We assumed a test uptake rate of 70% for both arms and performed a 1-way sensitivity analysis on this ...
