Is there a correlation between 3T multiparametric MRI and molecular subtypes of breast cancer?

Objectives: To test whether 3 T multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mMRI) provides information related to molecular subtypes of breast cancer.

Methods: Women with mammographic or US findings of breast lesions (BI-RADS 4-5) underwent 3 T mMRI (DCE, DWI and MR spectroscopy). The histological type of breast cancer was assessed.

Risk of Kaposi's sarcoma and of other cancers in Italian renal transplant patients.

A follow-up study of 1844 renal transplant patients in Italy showed a 113-fold increased risk for Kaposi's sarcoma. Kaposi's sarcoma risk was higher in persons born in southern than in northern Italy. Significant increases were also observed for cancers of the lip, liver, kidney and for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Prevalence, incidence and correlates of HHV-8/KSHV infection and Kaposi's sarcoma in renal and liver transplant recipients.

Background: To determine whether the incidence of HHV-8/KSHV infection and the risk of developing KS among organ transplant recipients differ by type of organ transplanted, we calculated the rate of HHV-8/KSHV seroconversion and the risk of developing KS among renal and liver transplant recipients.

Methods: The study population consisted of renal and liver transplant recipients recruited in two transplant centres in Rome, Italy. Both pre-transplant and post-transplant serum samples were available for all participants.
