Journal ArticleDOI
The development of interval breast malignancies in patients with BRCA mutations
Ian K. Komenaka,Beth-Ann Ditkoff,Kathie-Ann Joseph,Donna Russo,Prakash Gorroochurn,Marie Ward,Elizabeth Horowitz,Mahmoud El-Tamer,Freya Schnabel +8 more
TL;DR: There is no consensus regarding how frequently BRCA mutation carriers should be screened for malignancies using breast imaging techniques, but an interval malignancy found during the period between annual screening mammography scans indicates that themalignancy either went undetected by the last breast imaging scan or developed during the interval since that last scan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pure mucinous carcinoma of the breast
Ian K. Komenaka,Mahmoud El-Tamer,Andrea Troxel,Diane Hamele-Bena,Kathie-Ann Joseph,Elizabeth Horowitz,Beth-Ann Ditkoff,Freya Schnabel +7 more
TL;DR: Pure mucinous carcinoma of the breast has a favorable prognosis and tumor size does not appear to impact survival, perhaps because the volume of mucin overestimates tumor burden.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival and recurrence after breast cancer in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers.
Mahmoud El-Tamer,Donna Russo,Andrea B. Troxel,Lourdes P. Bernardino,Robert Mazziotta,Alison Estabrook,Beth-Ann Ditkoff,Freya Schnabel,Mahesh Mansukhani +8 more
TL;DR: Breast cancer patients with BRCA1/2 mutations have a similar outcome as non–mutation carriers, and there was no difference in 5- or 10-year overall and breast cancer–specific survival between mutation and non–Mutation carriers.
Journal ArticleDOI
The value of clinical characteristics and breast-imaging studies in predicting a histopathologic diagnosis of cancer or high-risk lesion in patients with spontaneous nipple discharge.
Linda J. Adepoju,Jennifer Chun,Mahmoud El-Tamer,Beth-Ann Ditkoff,Freya Schnabel,Kathie-Ann Joseph +5 more
TL;DR: Conventional imaging studies do not accurately identify cancer or high-risk lesions in patients with SSND and all patients withSSND should be offered duct excision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Men with breast cancer have better disease-specific survival than women.
Mahmoud El-Tamer,Ian K. Komenaka,Andrea B. Troxel,Huiling Li,Kathie-Ann Joseph,Beth-Ann Ditkoff,Freya Schnabel,David W. Kinne +7 more
TL;DR: While the overall survivals were equivalent, male breast cancer patients had significantly better disease-specific survivals compared with their female counterparts.
