The diagnostic accuracy of mammography and ultrasonography for recurrent breast cancer after breast conserving treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the performance of mammography and breast ultrasonography to diagnose tumor recurrence in patients after breast conserving therapy.

Material And Methods: Imaging findings of 130 breast cancer patients treated by breast conserving therapy (BCT) who have followed up with mammography and ultrasonography at our center between 1 January 2010 and 1st January 2016 were interpreted by two radiologists. The information of recurrent tumor and baseline data were blinded.

Diffusion-weighted imaging as an imaging biomarker for assessing survival of patients with intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma.

Background: Mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma is the most common form of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and is associated with a worse prognosis. This study aimed to assess the role of diffusion-weighted imaging and other imaging features as prognostic markers to predict the survival of patients with intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma (IMCC).

Materials And Methods: The study included patients with pathologically proven IMCC from January 2011 to January 2018.

Imaging predictors of BRAF mutation in colorectal cancer.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths and is associated with various genetic mutations. BRAF mutations, found in approximately 10% of all CRCs, are associated with negative predictive outcomes. The goal of this study was to assess the relationship between the imaging findings and BRAF statuses of CRC patients.
