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.

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.

TL;DR: Although primary tumor size and micrometastases correlate with the status of the NSLNs, extranodal extension is the most important independent predictor of NSLN metastasis and may ultimately spare patients a full axillary lymph node dissection.

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.

TL;DR: While the overall survivals were equivalent, male breast cancer patients had significantly better disease-specific survivals compared with their female counterparts.
