Review of Subtypes of Interval Breast Cancers With Discussion of Radiographic Findings.

Interval breast cancers are those detected in the interim between regular screening examinations and are an unfortunate reality for breast cancer screening programs. However, their incidence can help gauge the success of breast cancer screening programs. There are four main categories of interval cancers, including true negative, false negative, minimal sign, and occult.

Calculation of breast volumes from mammogram: Comparison of four separate equations relative to mastectomy specimen volumes.

Background And Objectives: Accurately assessing breast volume (BV) relative to the volume of breast tissue to be removed could help objectively determine the optimal surgical candidates for breast conserving surgery. The objective of this study was to determine the optimal mammography-based method of BV estimation.

Methods: Mammography data was obtained for patients who underwent mastectomy for breast cancer from 2005 to 2015.

Mobile Mammography, Race, and Insurance: Use Trends Over a Decade at a Comprehensive Urban Cancer Center.

Purpose: To assess the use of a mobile mammography unit (MMU) as it relates to race and insurance status in the largest county in Kentucky.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 48,324 screening mammograms of 21,857 patients conducted over a 10-year period. Descriptive statistics for patient age, race, and insurance status were computed by entire cohort and within subsets of cohorts.

Fit body and soul: a church-based behavioral lifestyle program for diabetes prevention in African Americans.

Faith-based initiatives for lifestyle change show promise in helping to promote healthy behaviors in African American communities. It has been suggested that faith communities and programs within faith communities can influence health care practices and health care planning especially in high risk, minority populations. African American individuals are more likely to attend and participate in faith-based services than Whites from similar backgrounds.

Using community-based participatory research to develop a culturally sensitive smoking cessation intervention with public housing neighborhoods.

Purpose: To describe surface and deep structure dimensions of a culturally sensitive smoking cessation intervention developed with southeastern US public housing neighborhoods.

Procedures: Community-based participatory research (CBPR) methods were used to develop this culturally sensitive smoking cessation intervention by the following research partners: academicians, neighborhood residents, community health workers, and community advisory board. This CBPR involved a cyclical process with the following phases: assembling a research team; identifying smoking cessation as the health need of interest; developing the research method; establishing evaluation, feedback, and dissemination mechanisms; implementing the initial "Sister to Sister" community trial; analyzing and interpreting the data; disseminating the results; revising the intervention; and, establishing mechanisms to sustain outcomes.
