Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how different types of breast cancer appear on MRI scans, focusing on a specific kind called ER-low-positive breast cancer.
- Out of 398 patients, they found that various types of breast cancer showed different MRI features, like shape and edges of the tumors.
- Both ER-low-positive and triple-negative tumors had similar MRI findings, which could help doctors plan the best treatment for patients.
Background And Objective: The therapeutic landscape for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has evolved considerably in the last few years. The targeted drugs and molecular diagnostics have been developed together at a fast pace. This narrative review explores the evolution of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) targeting therapies from discovering the ALK protein, molecular tests, present clinical trial data and future perspectives.

The mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) proto-oncogene can be targeted in NSCLC patients. : We performed a literature search on PubMed in December 2019 for studies on MET inhibitors and NSCLC.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFDuctal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a precursor mammary lesion whose malignant cells do not extend beyond the basement membrane and presents a risk of progression to malignant disease. Its early detection increased with screening mammography. The objective of this study was to review the literature on the main presentations of DCIS on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), through searches of the Medline/PubMed, Latin-American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information (Lilacs), and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) databases.
