Morphological and Metabolic Criteria of COVID-19 Vaccine Associated Axillary Nodes on 18-Fluorodeouxyglucose PET/CT Imaging in Breast Cancer Patients
CONCLUSION: In COVID-19 vaccinated patients with BC, 18FDG avid nodes in VSA may pose diagnostic challenge. However, morphological (size < 10 mm short axis, intact fatty hila without fat stranding) and metabolic criteria (SUVmax <2.4 with negative correlation with time of inoculation) have higher diagnostic accuracy in resolving the dilemma. Nodes in VSA having SUVmax > 2 SD of hepatic SUVmax should be considered for FNA to rule out possible metastasis.PMID:38156837 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2023.24.12.4053 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention)

Expression and promoter methylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 in tumor and marginal cells of breast cancer
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that while MAPK1 expression, might be a promising biomarker for evaluating oncogenic activity in patients suspected of BCa. We were not able to detect a prognostic/diagnostic role for MAPK1 promoter methylation.PMID:38143331 | DOI:10.3233/BD-230001 (Source: Breast Disease)
