Performance of [18F]FDG-PET/CT Imaging in First Recurrence of Invasive Lobular Carcinoma.

Background: Invasive lobular carcinoma accounts for 10 to 15% of all breast cancers. The first objective of this retrospective study was to assess the diagnostic performance of FDG-PET/CT scanning in women previously treated for invasive lobular carcinoma with suspected first recurrence. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the impact of PET/CT in a change in treatment and its prognostic value on specific survival.

The DNA sequence of the human X chromosome.

The human X chromosome has a unique biology that was shaped by its evolution as the sex chromosome shared by males and females. We have determined 99.3% of the euchromatic sequence of the X chromosome.
