Value of ultrasound in assessing response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer
CONCLUSION: This study has shown significance in reducing LD measurements on ultrasound as a predictor of PCR and RCB class. This adds weight to the current practice of using ultrasound at the start, mid and end of chemotherapy cycles to monitor NACT responses.PMID:37734976 | DOI:10.1016/j.crad.2023.07.010

Presentation of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor, Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma, and Gastric Adenocarcinoma in a Woman With No Identifiable Genetic Abnormalities
This report details the first known case of co-occurrence of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and gastric adenocarcinoma in an individual with no identifiable genetic abnormalities. The patient is a 57-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain. CT scan demonstrated a pancreatic mass, and endoscopic ultrasound demonstrated an additional gastric mass. Biopsy of both masses demonstrated adenocarcinoma; however, the masses were found to have different origins. The patient underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy with excellent response. She then underwent surgical intervention, which demonstr...

Deep Learning of Multimodal Ultrasound: Stratifying the Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer Before Treatment
CONCLUSIONS: The proposed DL_Clinical_resistance and DL_Clinical_PCR models and combined strategy have the potential to predict resistance and PCR to NAC before treatment and allow stratified prediction of NAC response.PMID:37669223 | DOI:10.1093/oncolo/oyad227

Comparing Methods for Targeted Axillary Dissection in Breast Cancer Patients: A Nationwide, Retrospective Study
CONCLUSIONS: With two-step TAD, nonidentification of the coiled LN before surgery is frequent, especially in patients with ax-pCR. Despite successful remarking, the IR of the MLN at surgery is inferior to one-step TAD.PMID:37400618 | DOI:10.1245/s10434-023-13792-x

Image-guided focused ultrasound-mediated molecular delivery to breast cancer in an animal model
Phys Med Biol. 2023 Jun 27. doi: 10.1088/1361-6560/ace23d. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTumors become inoperable due to their size or location, making neoadjuvant chemotherapy the primary treatment. However, target tissue accumulation of anticancer agents is limited by the physical barriers of the tumor microenvironment. Low-intensity focused ultrasound (FUS) in combination with microbubble (MB) contrast agents can increase microvascular permeability and improve drug delivery to the target tissue after systemic administration. The goal of this research was to investigate image-guided FUS-mediated molecular delivery in vol...

Enhanced full-inversion-based ultrasound elastography for evaluating tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced breast cancer
CONCLUSION: The proposed elastography technique demonstrates a high potential for chemotherapy response monitoring in LABC patients and superior performance compared to strain imaging.PMID:37343438 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejmp.2023.102619

Emerging uses of artificial intelligence in breast and axillary ultrasound
Clin Imaging. 2023 May 13;100:64-68. doi: 10.1016/j.clinimag.2023.05.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBreast ultrasound is a valuable adjunctive tool to mammography in detecting breast cancer, especially in women with dense breasts. Ultrasound also plays an important role in staging breast cancer by assessing axillary lymph nodes. However, its utility is limited by operator dependence, high recall rate, low positive predictive value and low specificity. These limitations present an opportunity for artificial intelligence (AI) to improve diagnostic performance and pioneer novel uses of ultrasound. Research in developing A...

A multi-center cross-sectional investigation of the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer with synchronous ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastases based on the CSBrs-009
CONCLUSIONS: The overall detection rate of breast cancer in patients with ISLM is low in China and varies widely between hospitals. There is no consensus on the optimal diagnosis and treatment of patients with ISLM breast cancer.PMID:36611099 | DOI:10.1007/s12094-022-03053-w
