Article Synopsis
- MRI is the most effective tool for detecting breast cancer, especially recommended for women with a 20% or greater lifetime risk, and those with atypical hyperplasia or dense breast tissue also have significantly higher cancer risks.
- Due to the high risk of various groups, there is ongoing development of an abbreviated MRI (abMRI) to make screenings more accessible, showing promising cancer detection rates in studies.
- Besides screening, breast MRI is also crucial for assessing cancer extent before surgery and monitoring responses to chemotherapy, with a focus on exploring its current and future applications in breast cancer management.
Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients bearing targetable oncogene alterations typically derive limited benefit from immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), which has been attributed to low tumor mutation burden (TMB) and/or PD-L1 levels. We investigated oncogene-specific differences in these markers and clinical outcome.
Methods: Three cohorts of NSCLC patients with oncogene alterations (n=4189 total) were analyzed.

Purpose: To outline the demographics, clinical presentation, imaging features, and treatment modalities observed among a series of patients diagnosed with biopsy-proven granulomatous mastitis (GM).
Method: Following approval by institutional review board, retrospective chart review was performed on patients with biopsy-proven granulomatous mastitis at our institution in the period from January 2013 until October 2017.
Results: A total of 90 patients were identified: 87 women and 3 men.
