To assess the positive predictive values of incremental breast cancer detection (PPV1) in relation to the mammographic breast density and of performed biopsies (PPV3) resulting from supplemental bilateral physician-performed whole-breast ultrasound (US) at recall of a population-based digital ...

Nearbylymph nodescan be tested for cancer cells with a procedure called amediastinoscopy. The doctor uses a long, flexible tube called a mediastinoscope, which is placed into the mediastinum — the space between your lungs and behind your breastbone in the middle of your chest. Imaging techni...
in a coordinated way, networks of gene pathways. We applied the method to subtypes of breast cancer. The basic idea is the identification of pathways significantly enriched with differentially expressed genes among the different breast cancer subtypes and normal tissue. Looking at the pairs of pathwa...
Doctors use tissue or cell samples taken from biopsies to learn disease information, such as cancer type. Thanks to the near immediate analysis of cancer tissue, surgeons know whether they are cutting healthy or cancerous tissue during the surgery. This information produces a clear tumor outline ...
One of the issues that many people have spoken about in the community as well as in academia, is not having enough tissue with a new diagnosis of lung cancer. Our group did a series like my colleague, Dr Charu Aggarwal, MD, where we looked at tissue biopsies versus plasma biopsies, and...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as critical mediators of intercellular communication in the tumor microenvironment (TME), profoundly influencing cancer progression. These nano-sized vesicles, released by both tumor and stromal cells, carry a di
Among the many findings from the rapid autopsy, the biochemical and genetic analyses of the patient's biopsies showed that in some of her secondary tumors the tumor suppressor genePTENhad been lost, or deleted, which can happen during cancer treatment, likely during cell division, says Scaltriti...
(SBE). SBE hasn’t been widely recommend in nearly 20 years; it has never been shown to decrease mortality from breast cancer, but it has been associated with an increased number of patient complaints stemming from benign issues – and an increased number of biopsies and interventions to go ...
