AI Article Synopsis

  • This study looked at whether scores from an AI tool can help doctors figure out if a type of breast cancer called DCIS will become more serious after a biopsy.
  • They checked 440 cases of DCIS in women and used special mammogram images analyzed by AI to get these scores.
  • The results showed that higher AI scores, especially over 75%, can help predict if the DCIS will turn into invasive cancer, making it an important tool for doctors.

Article Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate whether the quantitative abnormality scores provided by artificial intelligence (AI)-based computer-aided detection/diagnosis (CAD) for mammography interpretation can be used to predict invasive upgrade in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) diagnosed on percutaneous biopsy.

Methods: Four hundred forty DCIS in 420 women (mean age, 52.8 years) diagnosed via percutaneous biopsy from January 2015 to December 2019 were included. Mammographic characteristics were assessed based on imaging features (mammographically occult, mass/asymmetry/distortion, calcifications only, and combined mass/asymmetry/distortion with calcifications) and BI-RADS assessments. Routine pre-biopsy 4-view digital mammograms were analyzed using AI-CAD to obtain abnormality scores (AI-CAD score, ranging 0-100%). Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictive mammographic variables after adjusting for clinicopathological variables. A subgroup analysis was performed with mammographically detected DCIS.

Results: Of the 440 DCIS, 117 (26.6%) were upgraded to invasive cancer. Three hundred forty-one (77.5%) DCIS were detected on mammography. The multivariable analysis showed that combined features (odds ratio (OR): 2.225, p = 0.033), BI-RADS 4c or 5 assessments (OR: 2.473, p = 0.023 and OR: 5.190, p < 0.001, respectively), higher AI-CAD score (OR: 1.009, p = 0.007), AI-CAD score ≥ 50% (OR: 1.960, p = 0.017), and AI-CAD score ≥ 75% (OR: 2.306, p = 0.009) were independent predictors of invasive upgrade. In mammographically detected DCIS, combined features (OR: 2.194, p = 0.035), and higher AI-CAD score (OR: 1.008, p = 0.047) were significant predictors of invasive upgrade.

Conclusion: The AI-CAD score was an independent predictor of invasive upgrade for DCIS. Higher AI-CAD scores, especially in the highest quartile of ≥ 75%, can be used as an objective imaging biomarker to predict invasive upgrade in DCIS diagnosed with percutaneous biopsy.

Critical Relevance Statement: Noninvasive imaging features including the quantitative results of AI-CAD for mammography interpretation were independent predictors of invasive upgrade in lesions initially diagnosed as ductal carcinoma in situ via percutaneous biopsy and therefore may help decide the direction of surgery before treatment.

Key Points: • Predicting ductal carcinoma in situ upgrade is important, yet there is a lack of conclusive non-invasive biomarkers. • AI-CAD scores-raw numbers, ≥ 50%, and ≥ 75%-predicted ductal carcinoma in situ upgrade independently. • Quantitative AI-CAD results may help predict ductal carcinoma in situ upgrade and guide patient management.

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) is an increasingly requested procedure, but it implies training and experience both in its execution and in determining radiological-pathological concordance and is therefore performed in dedicated breast centers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of MRI-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy and to determine the upgrade rate after surgery or follow-up.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated all consecutive patients with suspicious MRI findings without corresponding mammographic and ultrasonographic findings who underwent MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) at our Institution from November 2020 to March 2023.

Objective: To determine the upgrade rate of exclusively MRI-detected benign papillomas in asymptomatic high-risk patients, patients with a history of cancer, or patients with known malignancy.

Methods: This IRB-approved retrospective study reviewed all breast MRI-guided biopsies yielding papilloma on pathology for all asymptomatic patients undergoing breast MRI for high-risk screening, newly diagnosed breast cancer, or a personal history of breast cancer. All cases were followed by excision or 2-year imaging follow-up.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a global cancer related to the sixth largest cause of death. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have affected the progress of ESCC during recent years, but the mechanism is not completely clear. So here we probed the effects of hsa_circ_0096710 (circ_0096710) in ESCC.

Introduction: Shunt overdrainage is one of the long-term complications associated with ventriculoperitoneal shunts. Treatment of refractory cases may require further upgrading of both the valve opening pressure and antisiphon device. The aim of this paper is to describe the results of this combination in a selected group of patients.

A detailed protocol for measuring the complex forward-scattering amplitude S(0°) of single particles, the Complex Amplitude Sensing version 1 (CAS-v1), has recently been developed and used for characterizing environmental particles. However, interpretations of the S(0°) data need a priori assumptions on the particle's shape, and applications of the method have mostly been limited to the particles suspended in liquids. Here, we thoroughly upgrade the CAS technique to perform quality-controlled S(0°) measurements at two independent polarizations for particles suspended in gases and liquids.
