TL;DR: MRI appears to be more sensitive than mammography in detecting tumors in women with an inherited susceptibility to breast cancer.

TL;DR: It is shown that reproductive factors and BMI are most clearly associated with hormone receptor-positive tumors and suggest that triple-negative or CBP tumors may have distinct etiology.

TL;DR: Investigating whether magnetic resonance imaging in addition to the normal surveillance could detect cancers otherwise missed found it promising in screening young women at high risk for breast cancer, as it can advance the detection of cancers still occult at mammography and physical examination; but the cost may be considerable.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of stage at breast cancer diagnosis, tumour biology, and treatment on survival in contemporary times of better (neo-)adjuvant systemic therapy was assessed.

TL;DR: Analysis of 4,405 variants in 89,050 European subjects from 41 case-control studies identified three independent association signals for estrogen-receptor-positive tumors at 11q13, and Chromatin conformation studies demonstrate that these enhancer and silencer elements interact with each other and with their likely target gene, CCND1.
