Trends in the pre-operative diagnosis and surgical management of axillary lymph node metastases in women with screen-detected breast cancer.

Aim: The aim of the current study was to investigate time-trends in pre-operative diagnosis and surgical treatment of axillary lymph node metastases in breast cancers detected at screening mammography.

Methods: We included all women who underwent screening mammography in the South of the Netherlands between 2005 and 2020. During a follow-up period of at least two years, data on clinical radiological examinations, biopsy procedures and surgical interventions were obtained.

Effects of nonparticipation at previous screening rounds on the characteristics of screen-detected breast cancers.

Purpose: We determined the incidence and effects of different screening intervals prior to a true positive recall on the tumour characteristics of screen-detected cancers (SDC) and interval cancers (ICs) at biennial screening mammography.

Methods: A consecutive series of 553020 subsequent screens was included, obtained in a Dutch screening region between January 2009 and July 2019. During 2-year follow-up, we obtained data on radiological procedures, pathology and surgical interventions of all recalled women.

Failure of stereotactic core needle biopsy in women recalled for suspicious calcifications at screening mammography: frequency, causes, and final outcome in a multi-institutional, observational follow-up study.

Objectives: We determined the failure rate of stereotactic core needle biopsy (SCNB) and its causes and final outcome in women recalled for calcifications at screening mammography.

Methods: We included a consecutive series of 624,039 screens obtained in a Dutch screening region between January 2009 and July 2019. Radiology reports and pathology results were obtained of all recalled women during 2-year follow-up.

Breast magnetic resonance imaging as a problem solving tool in women recalled at biennial screening mammography: A population-based study in the Netherlands.

Purpose: Problem solving magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to exclude malignancy in women with equivocal findings on conventional imaging. However, recommendations on its use for women recalled after screening are lacking. This study evaluates the impact of problem solving MRI on diagnostic workup among women recalled from the Dutch screening program, as well as time trends and inter-hospital variation in its use.

Pregnant Women After Bariatric Surgery: Diagnostic Accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Small Bowel Obstruction.

Background: Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a late complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). In non-pregnant patients, computed tomography (CT) is the first choice of imaging. During pregnancy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is preferred to limit exposure to ionizing radiation.
