Aim: In countries where access to mammography equipment and skilled personnel is limited, most breast cancer (BC) cases are detected in locally advanced stages. Infrared breast thermography is recognized as an adjunctive technique for the detection of BC due to its advantages such as safety (by not emitting ionizing radiation nor applying any stress to the breast), portability, and low cost. Improved by advanced computational analytics techniques, infrared thermography could be a valuable complementary screening technique to detect BC at early stages.

Objective: To identify clinical, radiological, and histopathological characteristics that could be predictive factors of microinvasive/invasive breast carcinoma in patients with diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) by core-needle biopsy.

Material And Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted from 2006-2017, which included women ≥18 years of age with initial DCIS, and who were treated with surgery. Final diagnosis was divided in DCIS and microinvasive/invasive carcinoma.

Background: Phyllodes tumor (PT) of the breast in Hispanic patients is more frequently reported with large tumors and with more borderline/malignant subtypes compared with other populations. The objective of this study was to describe characteristics of patients with PT and to identify differences among subtypes in a Mexican population.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients with PT.

Benign and malignant pathology can develop in ectopic axillary breast tissue, such as fibroadenomas, phyllodes tumors, and breast cancer. We present a rare case of an asymptomatic 43-year-old woman with an axillary nodule which was identified during screening mammography within ectopic axillary breast tissue, initially considered as a suspicious lymph node. Radiologic studies were considered as Breast Imaging-Reporting Data System (BI-RADS) 4.

Introduction: Breast cancer is heterogeneous, with different responses to NC even within similar histology and stages.

Objective: To evaluate clinical/pathological response to NC according to different tumor subtypes in Mexican breast cancer patients.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective study of patients with breast cancer stages II-III, and complete immunohistochemistry (IHC), such as hormonal receptors HER2 and Ki67, treated with NC and surgery.

Background: Breast cancer is the leading cause of death from malignancy in women. The incidence increases with age, but the relationship between age and survival of breast cancer patients is not well defined. It is observed that young women with breast cancer have patterns more aggressive biological.

Background: Fibromatosis is a term used to describe a group of lesions characterized by well-differentiated fibroblast proliferation with an usually benign biological behavior but with an infiltrative pattern of growth, frequently recurrent and locally invasive. It is generally localized in the retroperitoneal area, neck and extremities. The presence of this entity in breast tissue is an uncommon clinical situation, comprising approximately 0.

Background: nonconcrete the mammary injuries are frequent in programs of detection of breast cancer, estereotaxic or ecographic marking is required to realize its split. The intrasurgical radiation control of the surgical piece is indispensable to evaluate the margins of the mammary cancer.

Objective: to determine the effectiveness of the intrasurgical radiation control of the surgical piece in nonconcrete mammary injuries to diminish the surgical reinterventions to extend margins.
