Bilateral contrast-enhanced dual-energy digital mammography: feasibility and comparison with conventional digital mammography and MR imaging in women with known breast carcinoma.

TLDR
Bilateral dual-energy contrast agent-enhanced digital mammography was feasible and easily accomplished and was used to detect known primary tumors at a rate comparable to that of MR imaging and higher than that of conventionaldigital mammography.
Abstract

Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography versus MRI: Initial results in the detection of breast cancer and assessment of tumour size.

TL;DR: Initial results show a better sensitivity of CESM and MRI in breast cancer detection than MG and a good correlation with postoperative histology in size assessment, compared with histopathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Age on the Detection and Management of Breast Cancer

TL;DR: The effects of age as a factor in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment relating it to factors such as genetic status, breast cancer subtype, hormone factors and nodal status are examined and the observed correlations are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography vs. mammography and MRI – clinical performance in a multi-reader evaluation

TL;DR: CESM, alone and in combination with MG, is as accurate as MRI but is superior to MG for lesion detection and MRI and CESM and MRI are significantly superior toMG, particularly in dense breasts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography in patients referred from the breast cancer screening programme.

TL;DR: CESM increases diagnostic performance of conventional mammography, even in lower prevalence patient populations such as referrals from breast cancer screening, and is feasible in the workflow of referrals from routine breast screening.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) and contrast enhanced MRI (CEMRI): Patient preferences and tolerance

TL;DR: The aim of this study is to compare patient experience of CESM against CEMRI during preoperative breast cancer staging and to determine which of these modalities is preferable.

Global cancer statistics

TL;DR: A substantial proportion of the worldwide burden of cancer could be prevented through the application of existing cancer control knowledge and by implementing programs for tobacco control, vaccination, and early detection and treatment, as well as public health campaigns promoting physical activity and a healthier dietary intake.

The Statistical Evaluation of Medical Tests for Classification and Prediction

TL;DR: A comparison of Binary Tests and Regression Analysis and the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve shows that Binary Tests are more accurate than Ordinal Tests when the Receiver operating characteristic curve is considered.

Efficacy of MRI and mammography for breast-cancer screening in women with familial or genetic predisposition

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared mammography to MRI in detecting breast cancer in women with a familial or genetic predisposition to breast cancer, and found that MRI appears to be more sensitive than mammography.

Surveillance of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers with magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, mammography, and clinical breast examination.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the sensitivity and specificity of four methods of breast cancer surveillance (mammography, ultrasound, MRI, and CBE) in women with hereditary susceptibility to breast cancer due to a BRCA1 or BRCa2 mutation.
