Assessing Women at High Risk of Breast Cancer: A Review of Risk Assessment Models

TL;DR: This review aims to distill the diverse literature and provide practicing clinicians with an overview of the available risk assessment methods and allow clinicians to more accurately determine which women are most likely to develop breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prospective study evaluating the impact of tissue confirmation of metastatic disease in patients with breast cancer.

TL;DR: Clinicians alter immediate management in one of seven patients on the basis of results of the biopsy, and discordance is not then associated with detrimental effects on outcome, suggesting biopsy of metastases is technically feasible.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue confirmation of disease recurrence in breast cancer patients: pooled analysis of multi-centre, multi-disciplinary prospective studies.

TL;DR: A pooled analysis of individual patient data from two large prospective studies comprising biopsy of recurrent lesions obtained from consenting patients was undertaken in this paper, showing that there is substantial discordance in receptor status between primary and recurrent breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

A phase 2 trial exploring the effects of high‐dose (10,000 IU/day) vitamin D3 in breast cancer patients with bone metastases

TL;DR: This study aimed to assess the effect of this dose of vitamin D3 in patients with bone metastases from breast cancer, and found that daily sunlight exposure can generate the equivalent of a 10,000‐IU oral dose.
