Purpose: The purpose was to evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI), mammographic breast density, magnetic resonance (MR) background parenchymal enhancement (BPE), and MR fibroglandular tissue (FGT) in women with breast cancer.
Methods: Our institutional database was queried for patients with preoperative mammography and breast MR imaging.
Results: There were 573 women eligible for analysis. Elevated BMI was associated with advanced stage of disease (P=.01), lower mammographic density (P<.0001), lower FGT (P<.0001), higher BPE (P=.005), and nonpalpable lesions (P=.04).
Conclusions: Higher BMI was associated with decreased breast density and FGT. Higher BMI was also associated with advanced stage disease and nonpalpable tumors on clinical exam.

External validation of a multivariable prediction model for positive resection margins in breast-conserving surgery.
BMC Res Notes

Objectives: Positive resection margins after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) most often demands a repeat surgery. To preoperatively identify patients at risk of positive margins, a multivariable model has been developed that predicts positive margins after BCS with a high accuracy. This study aimed to externally validate this prediction model to explore its generalizability and assess if additional preoperatively available variables can further improve its predictive accuracy.

Purpose: Identification of the molecular subtypes in breast cancer allows to optimize treatment strategies, but usually requires invasive needle biopsy. Recently, non-invasive imaging has emerged as promising means to classify them. Magnetic resonance imaging is often used for this purpose because it is three-dimensional and highly informative.

Importance: Secondary lymphedema is a common, harmful side effect of breast cancer treatment. Robust risk models that are externally validated are needed to facilitate clinical translation. A published risk model used 5 accessible clinical factors to predict the development of breast cancer-related lymphedema; this model included a patient's mammographic breast density as a novel predictive factor.

This study evaluated the association between age at first full-term pregnancy (FFTP) and mammographic breast density (MBD) in postmenopausal women. 1,034 women, age 50-69y, were recruited from the Flemish (Belgium) population-based breast cancer screening program. Participants completed a questionnaire on lifestyle and reproductive factors.

Moth Flame Optimization (MFO) is a swarm intelligence algorithm inspired by the nocturnal flight mode of moths, and it has been widely used in various fields due to its simple structure and high optimization efficiency. Nonetheless, a notable limitation is its susceptibility to local optimality because of the absence of a well-balanced exploitation and exploration phase. Hence, this paper introduces a novel enhanced MFO algorithm (BWEMFO) designed to improve algorithmic performance.
