TLDR
Significant advances in imaging, including digital mammography, high-resolution ultrasonography with Doppler capabilities, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography-computed tomography, have improved the diagnosis and staging of inflammatory breast cancer, but the overall 5-year survival rate for patients with IBC remains very low.
Abstract
Purpose. We review the current status of multidisciplinary care for patients with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) and discuss what further research is needed to advance the care of patients with this disease. Design. We performed a comprehensive review of the English-language literature on IBC through computerized literature searches. Results. Significant advances in imaging, including digital mammography, high-resolution ultrasonography with Doppler capabilities, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography–computed tomography, have improved the diagnosis and staging of IBC. There are currentlynoestablishedmolecularcriteriafordistinguishing IBC from noninflammatory breast cancer. Such crite

ESO-ESMO 2nd international consensus guidelines for advanced breast cancer (ABC2)

TL;DR: Advanced Breast Cancer (ABC) is a treatable but still generally incurable disease, although the range is wide, and survival may be longer for patients treated in specialized institutions and within each country.

Underuse of Trimodality Treatment Affects Survival for Patients With Inflammatory Breast Cancer: An Analysis of Treatment and Survival Trends From the National Cancer Database

TL;DR: Underutilization of trimodality therapy negatively impacted survival for patients with inflammatory breast cancer and specific barriers to care are identified to improve treatment delivery and potentially improve patient outcomes.

Rho GTPases and the Actin Cytoskeleton

TL;DR: Members of the Rho family of small guanosine triphosphatases have emerged as key regulators of the actin cytoskeleton, and through their interaction with multiple target proteins, they ensure coordinated control of other cellular activities such as gene transcription and adhesion.

RHO Gtpases and the Actin Cytoskeleton

TL;DR: Emerging evidence suggests that Rop also regulates actin organization and thus plays a crucial role in the control of cell morphogenesis in plants.

Differentiation of clinically benign and malignant breast lesions using diffusion-weighted imaging.

TL;DR: To evaluate the value of diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) in distinguishing between benign and malignant breast lesions, a large number of patients were surveyed with and without breast cancer.
