Artificial Intelligence as a Potential Catalyst to a More Equitable Cancer Care.

As we enter the era of digital interdependence, artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a key instrument to transform health care and address disparities and barriers in access to services. This viewpoint explores AI's potential to reduce inequalities in cancer care by improving diagnostic accuracy, optimizing resource allocation, and expanding access to medical care, especially in underserved communities. Despite persistent barriers, such as socioeconomic and geographical disparities, AI can significantly improve health care delivery.

Latin America and the Caribbean Code Against Cancer 1st edition: Building capacity on cancer prevention to primary healthcare professionals.

Introduction: Every year 1.5 million new cancer cases are diagnosed in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Of these, about 40 % could be prevented.

Granulomatous mastitis with erythema nodosum: A breast cancer mimicking entity.

We present the case of a 42-year-old Hispanic patient who consulted with a left breast mass that showed clinical and imaging signs of breast cancer. During preprocedural examination before needle biopsy, the patient was found to have bilateral, purplish-brown skin lesions on her lower legs, suggestive of erythema nodosum. This clinical finding raised the diagnostic suspicion of granulomatous mastitis, which was later confirmed by histopathology.

Breast lactating adenoma, an example of the utility of the radiological-pathological correlation.

Lactating adenomas are benign breast tumors, of which etiology, pathogenesis, and management are not yet fully evident in the literature. The primary goal of the radiological evaluation is to make the differential diagnosis with malignant conditions. We present a case of a 34-year-old pregnant woman referred to our service with a progressively increasing mass in the right breast, in whom the histopathology was consistent with a lactating adenoma.

Breast pseudoaneurysm after core needle biopsy in a pregnant patient.

Breast pseudoaneurysm is an extremely rare complication of interventional breast procedures. Pregnancy and lactation are associated with increased breast vascularization, which may act as a risk factor. We present the case of a 36-year-old woman in the third trimester of a spontaneous twin pregnancy, who presented with a newly-detected BI-RADS 4 mass in her right breast.

Diagnostic performance of shear wave elastography in discriminating malignant and benign breast lesions : Our experience with QelaXtoTM software.

Study Aims: We sought to evaluate the diagnostic performance of quantitative elastography (shear wave elastography) and to establish the optimal cutoff value to differentiate malignant and benign breast lesions using QelaXtoTM software.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study of adult women with suspicious breast lesions (BIRADS 3, 4 or 5) who underwent programmed ultrasound-guided core biopsies. Breast lesions were assessed using quantitative elastography combined with B-mode ultrasound.
