TL;DR
MRI provided clinically relevant incremental detection of axillary metastases after benign US and demonstrated higher negative predictive value when performed first, highlighting the need to consider these factors when interpreting axillary imaging.
Background/Objectives: Pretreatment imaging may help estimate axillary response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in clinically node-positive (cN+) breast cancer. This study compared routinely available magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US) descriptors from the primary tumor and axillary nodes for pre...
Objective In light of existing evidence on the use of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in breast cancer (BC) patients undergoing upfront surgery, this study evaluated whether adding MRI to conventional imaging improved the definition of disease extent, subsequent surgical management, and survival outcomes....
Background/aim Axillary lymph node (ALN) status is a major prognostic factor in breast cancer and influences both survival outcomes and treatment planning. Noninvasive predictors of nodal metastasis are of clinical interest. Tumor-to-skin distance (TSD) has been proposed as a potential anatomical marker; however, stand...
Accurate assessment of breast cancer response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is important for surgical planning. We compared contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), and fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (¹⁸F-FD...
BACKGROUND Accurate evaluation of the depth of invasion (DOI) in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) is essential for staging and treatment planning. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly used as a non-invasive method for preoperative DOI assessment, though further validation against histopathology i...
Background/Objectives: Computed tomography (CT) informs preoperative staging in colon cancer, yet its diagnostic accuracy for lymph node involvement relative to pathological staging remains uncertain. We examined nodal concordance and multicentre variation in Poland. Methods: This retrospective diagnostic accuracy stud...
