| Subclinical systolic and diastolic myocardial abnormalities were present in asymptomatic breast cancer survivors up to 6 years after standard chemotherapy. | |
| Early diagnosis of breast and colon cancer through screening of asymptomatic patients at risk may be beneficial for individuals with a life-expectancy of 5 years or longer. | |
20 Citations | This analysis strongly suggests that mammographic screening of asymptomatic women both above and below 50 years of age can substantially reduce breast cancer mortality. |
| There is no evidence that people live longer when they have a single asymptomatic liver breast cancer metastasis ablated by whatever means. | |
161 Citations | Detection of second breast cancers in the asymptomatic phase leads to detection of early-stage cancer and improves relative survival by between 27% and 47%. |
11 Citations | In the authors' opinion, this low yield of one breast cancer in 796 asymptomatic women implies that whole breast US is of little value (in terms of breast cancer detection) in breasts that are radiodense but otherwise negative on mammography. |
6 Citations | The current scenario is completely different from the past: asymptomatic patients with screen-detected breast cancers represent a large proportion of the breast cancer patients in developed countries. |
Open access•Journal Article 01 Sep 2003-The Journal of oncology management : the official journal of the American College of Oncology Administrators 12 Citations | Within this duration of follow-up, we conclude that chest imaging is of limited value for asymptomatic patients with a history of breast cancer and has a high false positive rate. |
| The reported case confirms that bladder metastases from breast cancer tend to occur late after the diagnosis of the primary tumor and, for the first time, points out they can be asymptomatic. | |
Open access•Journal Article 21 Citations | Without prior mammography, primary high-resolution breast ultrasonography is capable of detecting non-palpable breast carcinomas in asymptomatic women at an early stage. |

How do metastatic patterns differ between very early and early onset breast cancer?5 answersMetastatic patterns differ between very early and early onset breast cancer due to distinct biological characteristics. Very young breast cancer patients (≤35 years) exhibit unique genomic profiles, with mutations in genes like PIK3CA, GATA3, TP53, and MAP2K4, impacting luminal subtype tumors. On the other hand, early onset breast cancer patients (≤40 years) show lower expression of the GAS7b gene, linked to poor prognosis and metastasis suppression mechanisms involving CYFIP1 and WAVE2 complex. These differences suggest that the biology of metastasis in these age groups varies, emphasizing the need for tailored treatment strategies based on the distinct molecular characteristics of the tumors.
Can dvt be asymptomatic?5 answersDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) can be asymptomatic, meaning that it does not show any symptoms. Asymptomatic DVTs are incidentally found during diagnostic tests or screenings. Although asymptomatic DVTs were previously considered clinically irrelevant, they are now being treated with anticoagulation for a period of 3 to 12 months. This change in approach has led to a higher incidence of asymptomatic DVTs being detected and managed as cases of DVT. The incidence of asymptomatic calf vein DVT in high-risk surgical patients was found to be 3.06% in one study. Another study reported an incidence of 0.94% asymptomatic DVT after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with prophylactic antithrombotic therapy. It is important to note that asymptomatic DVTs can still pose a risk and may require treatment, especially in patients with certain risk factors such as a history of DVT or revision surgery.
