Introduction: In our article we describe the breast screening program running in our hospital since January 2001. We analyse the operations related to the screening. We describe the invasive and noninvasive diagnosis and treatment of non-palpable breast tumors.
Patients And Method: Between 01.01.2001 and 31.10.2004 156 breast operations were performed because of 71 benign and 85 malignant lesions. Thirteen non-palpable breast tumors (7 malignant, 6 benign) were localised preoperative with hooked wire, specimen mammography and ultrasound examination carried out. In 3 patients with malignant lesions intraoperative frozen sections were performed (one false positive and two false negative). In 3 patients fine needle aspiration was performed and 2 patients only low cell and cell free results were obtained.
Discussion: We think that in the treatment of non-palpable breast tumors surgical intervention has primary role, for which we receive help from mammography or ultrasound localisation, and specimen examinations.

Mammography images are widely used to detect non-palpable breast lesions or nodules, aiding in cancer prevention and enabling timely intervention when necessary. To support medical analysis, computer-aided detection systems can automate the segmentation of landmark structures, which is helpful in locating abnormalities and evaluating image acquisition adequacy. This paper presents a deep learning-based framework for segmenting the nipple, the pectoral muscle, the fibroglandular tissue, and the fatty tissue in standard-view mammography images.

Background: Wire-guided localization (WGL) for non-palpable breast cancer lesions has drawbacks like wire migration, localization difficulties, and logistical challenges. Wireless methods, such as reflector-guided localization (RGL), address these issues and are compatible with breast MRI. This study evaluates the organizational and cost impacts of RGL compared to WGL.

Background Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is standard for early breast cancer, yet achieving clear surgical margins remains challenging. Ultrasound (US)-guided BCS has emerged as a potential alternative to wire-guided surgery, but its efficacy compared to traditional methods requires evaluation. Methods A retrospective review of patients undergoing BCS from April 2022 to April 2023 at the Portuguese Institute of Oncology of Porto (IPO-Porto) was conducted.
