Breast cancer stage and molecular subtype distribution: real-world insights from a regional oncological center in Hungary.

Objective: Examining the distribution of breast cancer (BC) stage and molecular subtype among women aged below (< 45 years), within (45-65 years), and above (> 65 years) the recommended screening age range helps to understand the screening program's characteristics and contributes to enhancing the effectiveness of BC screening programs.

Methods: In this retrospective study, female patients with newly diagnosed BC from 2010 to 2020 were identified. The distribution of cases in terms of TNM stages, severity classes, and subtypes was analysed according to age groups.

Development of a breast cancer screening protocol to use automated breast ultrasound in a local setting.

Introduction: The sensitivity of mammography screening is lower in women with dense breast. Increasing the efficacy of breast cancer screening have received special attention recently. The automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) shows promising results to complement mammography.

[Review of the scientific literature on the use of automated breast ultrasound for screening].

Several technological developments have been carried out recently to improve the effectiveness of breast cancer screening. Most of them have emerged as a complementary method to mammography. Automated breast ultrasound is one of these technologies.
