Is the presence of edema and necrosis on T2WI pretreatment breast MRI the key to predict pCR of triple negative breast cancer?

Given that a pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is an important prognostic factor, evaluating pretreatment imaging findings is important. Outcomes for triple negative bre...

MRI-detected breast lesions: clinical implications and evaluation based on MRI/ultrasonography fusion technology

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a highly sensitive imaging modality that frequently reveals additional breast lesions that are occult on mammography and ultrasonography (US) and are thus difficult to diagn...

Does breast cancer growth rate really depend on tumor subtype? Measurement of tumor doubling time using serial ultrasonography between diagnosis and surgery

Breast cancer growth is generally expected to differ between tumor subtypes. We aimed to evaluate tumor doubling time (DT) using ultrasonography and verify whether each tumor subtype has a unique DT.
