Negative axillary ultrasound can lead to breast biopsy omission
Many women with early-stage HR+HER2- breast cancer and a negative presurgical axillary ultrasound can skip sentinel lymph node biopsy, a study presented April 11 at the American Society of Breast Surgeons Annual Meeting in Orlando, FL, found.
In his talk, Andreas Giannakou, MD, from Brigham & Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston showed results suggesting that nodal disease burden and oncologic outcomes among women in a real-world setting are similar to criteria in the Sentinel Node vs. Observation After Axillary UltraSound (SOUND) trial.
“Although our follow-up is limited, oncologic outcomes are exce...

AI can be used to'rule-out' breast cancer on mammography
A deep-learning algorithm can rule out the presence of breast cancer on screening mammograms, improving specificity and yielding significant workflow and downstream savings, according to research published April 10 in Radiology.
A team of investigators led by first author Stefano Pedemonte, PhD, of AI software developer Whiterabbit.ai, and senior author Richard Wahl, MD, of the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, trained and tested a deep-learning algorithm using over 160,000 2D full-field digital mammography exams. They found their model could sharply reduce the number of screening mammograms requiring radiologist revie...

UltraCon: Harmonic motion imaging tracks breast tumor response to chemo
AUSTIN -- Harmonic motion imaging can track mechanical property changes of breast tumors in response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, a study presented April 9 at UltraCon found.
In his presentation, Yangpei Liu from Columbia University in New York City discussed findings from his team’s study, which showed that harmonic motion imaging could be a predictor of early treatment response.
“Harmonic motion imaging-derives changes in tumor mechanical properties are more robust in early complete pathologic response prediction than tumor sizes,” Liu said.Yangpei Liu from Columbia University in Ney York City discussed findings ...
