[Mammographic screening with the assessment of risk factors and incidence of BRCA-associated breast cancer in the Republic of India].

The leading risk factors of breast cancer (BC) were found to affect the efficiency of mammographic screening. The BC screening covered 26 912 women in 2001-2010. Its risk factors were identified using a questionnaire survey.

[Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the diagnosis of breast cancer].

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is used in mammalogy to specify the data obtained by traditional radiodiagnostic techniques and provides a possibility of estimating the molecular composition of pathologically altered breast tissues. This information is employed for the differential diagnosis of malignant and benign neoplasms, as well as for monitoring and predicting the efficiency of chemotherapy for breast cancer. Some technical problems and the lack of a standardized approach to the procedure of a study and interpretation of its results hinder the wide introduction of spectroscopy into clinical practice.
