Assessment of Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Locally Advanced Breast Carcinoma Using Image-Guided Clip Placement.

Background The present study aims to evaluate the response of locally advanced breast carcinoma (LABC) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) using image-guided clip placement based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria. Methods Thirty-four patients with LABC were included in the study.

Comparative analysis of airway invasive aspergillosis and endobronchial spread of tuberculosis on high resolution computed tomography.

The presence of tree-in-bud (T-I-B) pulmonary opacities on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in tuberculosis endemic areas is frequently regarded as a sine qua non for endobronchial tuberculosis (TB). That is not always the case, however. They can also be found in immunocompromised non-neutropenic patients with airway invasive aspergillosis (IA).
