Grouped Amorphous Calcifications at Mammography: Frequently Atypical but Rarely Associated with Aggressive Malignancy.

Purpose To determine rate of malignancy at stereotactic biopsy of amorphous calcifications with different distributions using current imaging, clinical, and histopathologic criteria. Materials and Methods From January 2009 to September 2013, this retrospective study reviewed a large set of stereotactic biopsies to identify amorphous calcifications and their clinical, imaging, and histopathologic characteristics. Calcification distribution was correlated with malignancy rate after adjusting for known risk factors using logistic regression.

Bridging locoregional therapy: Longitudinal trends and outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

The purpose of this article is to analyze longitudinal trends in locoregional therapy (LRT) use and review locoregional therapy's role in the management of hepatocellular carcinoma prior to orthotropic liver transplantation Porrett et al. (2006) . LRT has a role in both bridge to transplantation and downstaging of patients not initially meeting Milan or UCSF Criteria.

Effect of Bridging Local-Regional Therapy on Recurrence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Survival after Orthotopic Liver Transplantation.

Purpose To evaluate the influence of bridging local-regional therapy (LRT) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence and overall survival after orthotopic liver transplantation and to identify factors that predict HCC recurrence after orthotopic liver transplantation. Materials and Methods The United Network for Organ Sharing database was used to identify patients with HCC who underwent liver transplantation between 2002 and 2013. Patients with complete explant data within the Milan criteria for whom a Model for End-Stage Liver Disease exception was approved were retrospectively analyzed.
