Journal ArticleDOI
Atypical ductal hyperplasia: histologic underestimation of carcinoma in tissue harvested from impalpable breast lesions using 11-gauge stereotactically guided directional vacuum-assisted biopsy.
TL;DR: Because ADH was underdiagnosed in 25% of the lesions, it is recommended that surgical excision be performed whenever ADH is found in tissue obtained from 11-gauge directional vacuum-assisted breast biopsy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Screening Breast Ultrasound: Past, Present, and Future
TL;DR: Breast ultrasound for the detection of breast cancer in the screening environment, as well as strategies for integrating screening breast ultrasound, including automated breast ultrasound are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breast-specific gamma imaging as an adjunct imaging modality for the diagnosis of breast cancer.
Rachel F. Brem,Angelique C. Floerke,Jocelyn A. Rapelyea,Christine B. Teal,Tricia A. Kelly,Vivek Mathur +5 more
TL;DR: BSIG has high sensitivity and moderate specificity helping detect breast cancers and helped detect occult cancer not visualized at mammography or ultrasonography in six patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lobular neoplasia at percutaneous breast biopsy: variables associated with carcinoma at surgical excision.
Rachel F. Brem,Mary C. Lechner,Roger J. Jackman,Jocelyn A. Rapelyea,W. Phil Evans,Liane E. Philpotts,Jonathan B Hargreaves,Shane Wasden +7 more
TL;DR: All patients with lobular neoplasia at core or vacuum-assisted biopsy should undergo surgical excision until further differentiating criteria can be determined, and significant sampling error occurs regardless of the type of core biopsy device, number of specimens obtained, histologic-radiographic concordance, mammographic appearance, and complete excision of the lesion as determined by imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI
miR-638 mediated regulation of BRCA1 affects DNA repair and sensitivity to UV and cisplatin in triple-negative breast cancer.
Xiaohui Tan,Jin Peng,Yebo Fu,She-Juan An,M. Katayoon Rezaei,Sana Tabbara,Christine B. Teal,Yan-gao Man,Rachel F. Brem,Sidney W. Fu +9 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that miR-638 plays an important role in TNBC progression via BRCA1 deregulation, and might serve as a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for breast cancer.
