Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid review: radiomics and breast cancer.
TL;DR: The study of radiomics in BC patients is a new and emerging translational research topic and high-quality prospective and reproducible studies are needed to further potential application.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcribed-Ultra Conserved Region expression is associated with outcome in high-risk neuroblastoma.
Paola Scaruffi,Sara Stigliani,Stefano Moretti,Simona Coco,Carla De Vecchi,Francesca Valdora,Alberto Garaventa,Stefano Bonassi,Gian Paolo Tonini +8 more
TL;DR: A deregulation of the microRNA/T-UCR network may play an important role in the pathogenesis of neuroblastoma, and findings may be applied as the first T-U CR prognostic signature for high-risk neuroblastomas patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced spectral mammography: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Alberto Tagliafico,Bianca Bignotti,Federica Rossi,Alessio Signori,Maria Pia Sormani,Francesca Valdora,Massimo Calabrese,Nehmat Houssami +7 more
TL;DR: CESM has a high sensitivity but very low specificity and high-quality studies are required to assess the accuracy of CESM in unselected cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective comparative trial of adjunct screening with tomosynthesis or ultrasound in women with mammography-negative dense breasts (ASTOUND-2).
Alberto Tagliafico,Giovanna Mariscotti,Francesca Valdora,Manuela Durando,Jacopo Nori,Daniele La Forgia,Ilan Rosenberg,Francesca Caumo,Nicoletta Gandolfo,Maria Pia Sormani,Alessio Signori,Massimo Calabrese,Nehmat Houssami +12 more
TL;DR: Ultrasound detected more BCs but caused more false positives than tomosynthesis, underscoring trade-offs in screening outcomes when adjunct imaging is used for screening dense breasts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-dependent accumulation of genomic aberrations and deregulation of cell cycle and telomerase genes in metastatic neuroblastoma
Simona Coco,Jessica Theissen,Paola Scaruffi,Sara Stigliani,Stefano Moretti,Stefano Moretti,André Oberthuer,Francesca Valdora,Matthias Fischer,Fabio Gallo,Barbara Hero,Stefano Bonassi,Frank Berthold,Gian Paolo Tonini +13 more
TL;DR: The higher DNA instability observed in G3/MYCN− NBs than in MYCN‐amplified G3 may also explain why patients ≥19 months have a poor outcome independently by MYCN status.
