Journal ArticleDOI
Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography in patients referred from the breast cancer screening programme.
Marc B. I. Lobbes,Ulrich Lalji,Janneke B. Houwers,Estelle C. Nijssen,Patty J. Nelemans,Lori M. van Roozendaal,Marjolein L. Smidt,Esther M. Heuts,Joachim E. Wildberger +8 more
TL;DR: CESM increases diagnostic performance of conventional mammography, even in lower prevalence patient populations such as referrals from breast cancer screening, and is feasible in the workflow of referrals from routine breast screening.
Journal ArticleDOI
'Reconstruction: before or after postmastectomy radiotherapy?' A systematic review of the literature.
Judith Berbers,Angela van Baardwijk,Ruud Houben,Esther M. Heuts,Marjolein L. Smidt,Kristien Keymeulen,Maud Bessems,Stefania Tuinder,Liesbeth J. Boersma +8 more
TL;DR: A definite implant reconstruction placed before radiotherapy limits the rate of complications and for autologous reconstruction, less fibrosis is seen if reconstruction is performed after radiotherapy, but timing had no significant impact on total complication rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Quality of Tumor Size Assessment by Contrast-Enhanced Spectral Mammography and the Benefit of Additional Breast MRI
Marc B. I. Lobbes,Ulrich Lalji,Patty J. Nelemans,I. P. L. Houben,Marjolein L. Smidt,Esther M. Heuts,Bart de Vries,Joachim E. Wildberger,Regina G. H. Beets-Tan +8 more
TL;DR: Quality of tumor size measurement using CESM is good and matches the quality of these measurement assessed by breast MRI, which did not observe any advantage of performing an additional breast MRI after CESM in any of the cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Internal mammary lymph drainage and sentinel node biopsy in breast cancer - A study on 1008 patients.
TL;DR: Evaluation of IMSNs improves nodal staging in breast cancer, and true IM node-negative patients can be spared the morbidity associated with adjuvant radiotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of MRI in axillary lymph node imaging in breast cancer patients: a systematic review.
V. J. L. Kuijs,M. Moossdorff,M. Moossdorff,Robert-Jan Schipper,Robert-Jan Schipper,Regina G. H. Beets-Tan,Regina G. H. Beets-Tan,Esther M. Heuts,Kristien Keymeulen,Marjolein L. Smidt,Marjolein L. Smidt,Marc B. I. Lobbes +11 more
TL;DR: The diagnostic performance of some MRI protocols for excluding axillary lymph node metastases approaches the NPV needed to replace SLNB, however, current observations are based on studies with heterogeneous study designs and limited populations.
