The Predictive Role of Mammography, Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Diffusion-Weighted Imaging in Hormone Receptor Status of Pure Ductal Carcinoma Lesions.

Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze the predictive capabilities of preoperative mammography, dynamic contrast-enhanced-magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in determining hormone receptor (HRc) status for pure ductal carcinoma (DCIS) lesions.

Materials And Methods: The study included a total of 79 patients who underwent preoperative mammography (MG) and MRI between December 2018 and December 2023 and were subsequently diagnosed with pure DCIS after surgery. The correlation between MG, DCE-MRI, and DWI features and estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) status was examined.

Preoperative Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced and Diffusion-Weighted Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings for Prediction of Lymphovascular Invasion of the Lesions in Node-Negative Invasive Breast Cancer.

Our single-centre retrospective study aimed to investigate the relationship between preoperative dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) findings and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and lymphovascular invasion (LVI) status of the lesions in patients with clinically-radiologically lymph node-negative invasive breast cancer. A total of 250 breast lesions diagnosed in preoperative magnetic resonance imaging were identified. All patients were divided into 2 subgroups: LVI-negative and LVI-positive according to the pathological findings of surgical specimens.

A Rare Malignity of Childhood: Krukenberg Tumor-Case Report and Review of Literature.

Krukenberg tumor (KT) is a rare ovarian carcinoma containing mucin-filled signet ring cells. It accounts for 1%-2% of all ovarian tumors. It is seen at an average age of 40 years.

Is there any relationship between adc values of diffusion-weighted imaging and the histopathological prognostic factors of invasive ductal carcinoma?

Objective: MRI is being used increasingly as a modality that can provide important information about breast cancer. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is an imaging technique from which apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values can be calculated in addition to obtaining important structural information which cannot be obtained from other imaging studies. We did not find any significant relationships between ADC values and prognostic factors, but did provide some explanations for conflicting results in the literature.
