TL;DR: SNPs at four loci were associated with ER-negative but not ER-positive breast cancer (P > 0.05), providing further evidence for distinct etiological pathways associated with invasive ER- positive and ER- negative breast cancers.

TL;DR: Ki67 has predictive and prognostic value and is a feasible marker for clinical practice and independently improved the prediction of treatment response and prognosis in a group of breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant treatment.

TL;DR: MiRNA profiling in whole blood has potential as a novel method for early stage breast cancer detection, but there are still challenges that need to be addressed to establish these new biomarkers in clinical use.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a distribution of micrometer-sized calcifications in the human breast which are not visible in clinical x-ray mammography at diagnostic dose levels can produce a significant dark-field signal in a grating-based xray phase-contrast imaging setup with a tungsten anode xray tube operated at 40 kVp.

TL;DR: Independent from common prognostic factors, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer at a CBC improves the prognosis of patients and it can be hypothesized that this effect is mediated through quality assured health care provided by the certification process.
