Article Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the factors affecting detectability of invasive breast cancers on BSGI.

Material And Methods: We evaluated BSGI, mammography and pathologic reports of 89 patients with invasive breast cancers.

Results: 87.6% were visible on BSGI. Cancer in old or postmenopausal women were more visible on BSGI (p = 0.003, 0.046). Cancers ≥ 1.0 cm in size were significantly more visible on BSGI than those <1 cm in size (p = 0.002). Cancers in fatty breasts were more visible than those in dense breasts (p = 0.042).

Conclusion: Invasive cancers in older, postmenopausal patients, cancers with size ≥1.0 cm, and those with fatty breast are better visualized by BSGI, than those in younger, premenopausal patients, with size <1.0 cm and dense breast.

Objective: This study aimed to probe the role of Shenling Baizhu powder (SLBZP) in inhibiting breast cancer (BC) lung metastasis, focusing on epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and ferroptosis.

Methods: BC 4T1 cells were treated with low (3.13 µg/mL) and high (12.

Noncoding RNA regulatory networks play crucial roles in human breast cancer. The aim of this study was to establish a network containing multi-type RNAs and RBPs in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Differential expression analyses of lncRNAs, miRNAs, and genes were performed using the GEO2R tool.

Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is a major type of breast cancer. The utilization of inhibitors targeting histone methyltransferases introduces novel therapeutic avenues for the treatment of cancer. Immunohistochemistry, Western blot, and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction experiments were applied to assess the levels of EHMT2 in IDC and adjacent tissues.

The integration of robotic platforms in breast oncology has witnessed substantial expansion, fueled by their inherent advantages in minimally invasive access and enhanced intraoperative maneuverability. Most of the robotic-assisted breast surgery has been performed using multi-arm robots. However, the implementation of single-port robotic (SPr) systems in mammary interventions continues to undergo rigorous clinical evaluation, particularly regarding long-term oncological safety and cost-effectiveness metrics.

Background: Iron metabolism may influence breast cancer development; however, links between iron-related biomarkers and breast cancer remain inconclusive. Given differences in iron status by menopausal status, we examined associations of ferritin and other iron biomarkers, with breast cancer incidence, stratified by menopausal status, in a Korean screening cohort.

Methods: This cohort study included 140,747 Korean women screened for breast cancer from 2011-2020.
