Breast imaging in the young: the role of magnetic resonance imaging in breast cancer screening, diagnosis and follow-up.

Diagnosis of breast cancer in young individuals (younger than 40 years old) poses a real challenge to breast radiologists because their breast tissue is often denser than the breast tissue of older women. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) may be particularly helpful in such situations. The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommended breast MRI screening as an adjunct to mammography for: BRCA mutation carriers and their first-degree relatives; women with a lifetime breast cancer risk ≥20% to 25%; women with a history of chest radiation between ages of 10 and 30 years; and women with predisposing genetic syndromes.

Classification of inflammatory breast disorders and step by step diagnosis.

In this study, the authors proposed a classification of inflammatory breast disorders based on which a practical systematic scheme in diagnosis was applied aiming to differentiate simple forms of mastitis from more complicated and malignant forms. The study population included 197 female patients who were clinically or pathologically diagnosed as having mastitis. All patients underwent Ultrasound examination.

Women Health Outreach Program; a New Experience for all Egyptian Women.

Unlabelled: The global health community faces a challenge with breast cancer being the most common cause of cancer related death among women around the globe. Since breast cancer's pathogenesis is poorly understood, primary prevention is still a distant goal. Thus secondary prevention through early detection is the only feasible approach at present.
