Fully Interpretable Deep Learning Model Using IR Thermal Images for Possible Breast Cancer Cases.

Breast cancer remains a global health problem requiring effective diagnostic methods for early detection, in order to achieve the World Health Organization's ultimate goal of breast self-examination. A literature review indicates the urgency of improving diagnostic methods and identifies thermography as a promising, cost-effective, non-invasive, adjunctive, and complementary detection method. This research explores the potential of using machine learning techniques, specifically Bayesian networks combined with convolutional neural networks, to improve possible breast cancer diagnosis at early stages.

Primary Leiomyosarcoma of the Breast: A Successful Surgical Treatment in a 45-Year-Old Woman.

BACKGROUND Spindle cell carcinomas and sarcomas are 2 uncommon primary spindle cell malignant tumors of the breast. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry for cell phenotypic markers can identify the type of tumor. This report is of a 45-year-old woman with a primary leiomyosarcoma of the breast, successfully treated by surgical excision.

Novel Association of IGF2BP2 Gene Variants With Altered Risk of Breast Cancer and as Potential Molecular Biomarker of Triple Negative Breast Cancer.

Background: Several studies documented that insulin-like growth factor-2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) contributes to carcinogenesis, and 1 report documented the association of IGF2BP2 rs4402960 with increased risk of breast cancer (BC). This study investigated the association of rs4402960 and rs1470579 IGF2BP2 variants with BC and triple negative BC (TNBC).

Materials And Methods: This case-control study included 488 BC patients comprising 130 TNBC and 358 non-TNBC patients, and 476 cancer-free controls.

Transaxillary gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy versus conventional open thyroidectomy: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates surgical outcome and safety results of conventional (OT) versus endoscopic transaxillary gasless thyroidectomies (ET).

Material And Methods: A systematic literature search was performed. The weighted mean differences or the odd ratios with corresponding 95% CIs were examined for surgical outcomes and complications.

Massive Retroperitoneal and Subcutaneous Emphysema after Transanal Excision of Rectal Cancer.

Transanal excision (TAE) is considered a safe, alternative approach for patients with early stage of rectal cancer. Complications associated with TAE are rare, such as bleeding, perforation, incontinence, and rectal stricture. Subcutaneous emphysema is early complication of laparoscopic surgery, common during upper gastrointestinal and gynecological surgery.
