Published: November 2018

Inflammatory breast disorders include a wide array of underlying causes, ranging from common benign infection, non-infectious inflammation and inflammation resulting from underlying breast malignancy. Because it is at times difficult to distinguish mastitis and breast cancer based on clinical features, awareness of detailed imaging features may be helpful for better management of inflammatory breast disorders. Therefore, this pictorial essay intends to demonstrate radiologic findings of a variety of inflammatory breast disorders, using selected cases with mammography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance images.

From the Key Laboratory of Carcinogenesis and Translational Research (Ministry of Education/Beijing), NMPA Key Laboratory for Research and Evaluation of Radiopharmaceuticals (National Medical Products Administration), Department of Nuclear Medicine; Peking University Cancer Hospital and Institute, Beijing, China.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare Al18F-NOTA-HER2-BCH and 18F-FDG for detecting nodal metastases in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer on PET/CT.

Patients And Methods: In this retrospective study, 62 participants with HER2-positive breast cancer underwent both Al18F-NOTA-HER2-BCH and 18F-FDG PET/CT. Participants were pathologically confirmed as HER2-positive (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+ with gene amplification on FISH).

Inflammatory mammary carcinoma (IMC) is the most aggressive variant of invasive mammary tumours in dogs and in women. Decorin is an extracellular matrix molecule whose expression can be reduced or absent in various human cancers, which is associated with a poor prognosis. E-cadherin is a cell adhesion protein whose expression is reduced in several neoplasms.

Background/objectives: Breast cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous disease with multifactorial origins, including environmental, genetic, and immunological factors. Inflammatory cytokines, such as alpha 1 antitrypsin (α1-AT), are increased in BC and affect physiological and pathological conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the serum levels of α1-AT and perform a computational analysis of in BC, as well as their association with molecular subtypes and clinical features.
