Sensitivity of noncommercial computer-aided detection system for mammographic breast cancer detection: pilot clinical trial.

Purpose: To evaluate a noncommercial computer-aided detection (CAD) program for breast cancer detection with screening mammography.

Materials And Methods: A CAD program was developed for mammographic breast cancer detection. The program was applied to 2,389 patients' screening mammograms at two geographically remote academic institutions (institutions A and B).

Detection of Epstein-Barr virus in rapidly growing fibroadenomas of the breast in immunosuppressed hosts.

Fibroadenomas are the most common benign tumors of the female breast and are associated with a slight increase in the risk of subsequent breast cancer. Multiple fibroadenomas have been described in patients after renal transplantation and are thought to be secondary to drug-related growth stimulation. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been detected in many neoplasms, including breast cancer.
