Researchers talk breast cancer disparities with AuntMinnie.com
While evidence abounds when it comes to health disparities facing women seeking breast cancer screening, radiology departments continue to struggle with consistent success when addressing barriers.Bersu Ozcan, MD, and Jessica Porembka, MD, both from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, recently co-authored a comprehensive piece in RadioGraphics outlining the challenges breast radiologists face in this area. They also highlighted opportunities to successfully remove barriers for women. (Source: AuntMinnie.com Headlines)

AI's impact on false-positive mammograms, breast cancer screening performance
Computer-aided detection (CAD) software for mammography has been available for decades but has traditionally been hampered by a high number of false-positive marks. AI software based on deep-learning algorithms is showing promise, however, for helping to improve specificity in screening mammography and other breast imaging modalities.
Just over 40.5 million mammograms were performed in the U.S. in 2023, according to Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) national statistics. Although mammogram is the most widely used screening modality, a known problem is that 9.5% of the 10% of women contacted for further testing after...

LG Medical Monitors boost physician confidence when details matter most
In the United States, approximately 10% of women are contacted for further testing after an initial breast cancer screening. Of that 10%, however, only 0.5% receive a cancer diagnosis. That leaves 9.5% of tested women with a false-positive exam — which is often accompanied by undue financial and emotional burdens.1LG Business Solutions has set out to reduce the risk of this hardship with advanced medical monitor solutions. With the latest high-end medical display technology from LG, physicians can analyze radiological and mammogram images with complete confidence. LG’s powerful diagnostic display solutions act as a sec...

DCE-MRI determines women at high recurrence risk of breast cancer
Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) can help distinguish women with high recurrence risk of breast cancer from those with low recurrence risk, a study published January 23 in Radiology found.
Researchers led by Dooman Arefan, PhD, from the University of Pittsburgh found that quantitative background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) found on DCE-MRI combined with tumor radiomics could be an alternative to the Oncotype DX recurrence score in assessing breast cancer recurrence risk.
“This finding has particular clinical value considering that the Oncotype DX recurrence score is expensive and unavailable in many low-resour...

Menopause Is Finally Going Mainstream
Kathryn Clancy wrote an entire book about menstrual cycles. But even she was surprised by some of the pre-menopausal symptoms she recently began to experience at age 44.
“A lot of things that have to do with my uterus, ovaries, and breasts, I have been massively underprepared for as a Ph.D.-level expert in this field,” says Clancy, a professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. “That should tell you how even more underprepared most people are.”

Psychosocial factors influence mammography adherence
Psychosocial factors influence how women adhere to breast cancer screening recommendations, including attending mammography appointments, according to research published January 21 in the Journal of Cancer Policy.
A team led by Biplab Datta, PhD, from Augusta University in Atlanta, GA found that women who are less likely to adhere to screening guidelines include those who are dissatisfied with their lives, those who lack emotional support, and those who feel socially isolated.
“Our findings demonstrated a strong association between social environment, psychological wellbeing, and adherence to breast cancer screening, a...

Elastography shows stiffness changes in breast implants
Shear wave elastography (SWE) could be used as an indicator of the risk of breast implant rupture, a study published January 20 in the Journal of Biomechanics.
Researchers led by Laetitia Ruffenach, MD, from the University of Strasbourg in France reported that elastography can visualize breast implant stiffness as implants degrade over time, measuring rupture risk and helping diagnose replacements for implants.
“By observing the consequences of the physical-chemical mechanisms at work within patients, this study shows that ultrasound elastography could be used in vivo as a quantitative indicator of the risk of breast i...
