Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the relationship between contiguous non-mass enhancement (NME) seen on MRI and the presence of invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in women who had surgical resection.
  • A total of 225 patients were analyzed from a larger pool, revealing that a significant majority had invasive ductal carcinoma, and those without prior chemotherapy showed a strong correlation between the size of NME and the presence of DCIS.
  • The findings suggest that the correlation between NME and DCIS was particularly strong in HER2-positive and non-white patients, which may influence surgical treatment decisions.

Introduction Biliary cancers are rare cancers with poor prognoses. In this study, we aimed to evaluate trends in early detection and surgical treatment and approaches in extra-hepatic biliary tract cancers (EBCs) over 13 years in the US. Methods The most recent data on patients diagnosed with EBC between 2004 and 2016 were extracted from the National Cancer Database (NCDB).

Article Synopsis
  • Liquid biopsy involves analyzing circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cell-free DNA (ctDNA) to get detailed insights about tumors, which could lead to quicker and cost-effective ways to detect and monitor cancers.
  • This review focuses on ongoing clinical trials examining the use of ctDNA from liquid biopsies in both early and metastatic breast cancer cases, highlighting the need for standardized methods.
  • The current use of liquid biopsies in breast cancer is still in its early stages, indicating a need for further research to optimize diagnosis and treatment strategies, especially for detecting recurrences.
