“…However, it has been determined that CEM has a smaller FOV than MRI, so it is less valuable for identifying chest wall invasion, internal breast metastasis, and axillary lymph node disease in patients with known BC [108]. Recently, the authors performed novel MRI modalities for a breast cancer diagnosis study, and they have reported that DTI, DWI, and DCE-MRI parameters can help diagnose breast cancer in the early stages [109]. In another study, Comstock et al [103] compared abbreviated breast MRI and DBT to diagnose invasive BC in women with DB.…”

Breast cancer is the foremost common cause of death in women, and its early diagnosis will help treat and increase patients’ survival. This review article aims to look at the studies on the recent findings of standard imaging techniques and their characteristics for breast cancer diagnosis as well as on the recent role of nanoparticles (NPs) that are used for breast cancer detection. Herein, a search was performed in the literature through scientific citation websites, including Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, until May 2023. A comprehensive review of different imaging modalities and NPs for breast cancer diagnosis is given, and the successes, challenges, and limitations of these methods are discussed.

“…Mass spectrometry and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR) are the two most widely used analytical platforms in metabolomics studies and can be considered as two complementary techniques to get information about the whole set of metabolites in a biological system [ 18 ]. Furthermore, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) represents a powerful technique widely used in the diagnostic and treatment evaluation of breast cancer [ 19 , 20 ].…”

A Pilot Study on Biochemical Profile of Follicular Fluid in Breast Cancer Patients

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common type of cancer among women in almost all countries worldwide and is one of the oncological pathologies for which is indicated fertility preservation, a type of procedure used to help keep a person’s ability to have children. Follicular fluid (FF) is a major component of oocyte microenvironment, which is involved in oocyte growth, follicular maturation, and in communication between germ and somatic cells; furthermore, it accumulates all metabolites during oocytes growth. To obtain information about changes on fertility due to cancer, we aimed at investigating potential biomarkers to discriminate between FF samples obtained from 16 BC patients and 10 healthy women undergoing in vitro fertilization treatments. An NMR-based metabolomics approach was performed to investigate the FF metabolic profiles; ELISA and western blotting assays were used to investigate protein markers of oxidative and inflammatory stress, which are processes closely related to cancer. Our results seem to suggest that FFs of BC women display some significant metabolic alterations in comparison to healthy controls, and these variations are also related with tumor staging.

“…Recent technical achievements and new DWI techniques have significantly upgraded the value of DWI in breast imaging. A literature review published in 2022 indicates that DWI, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and their characteristics may facilitate an earlier and more accurate diagnosis, and consequent treatment improvements [12]. To ensure comparability of values, it is vital that values are not falsified by sequence properties.…”

Advanced Diffusion-Weighted Imaging Sequences for Breast MRI: Comprehensive Comparison of Improved Sequences and Ultra-High B-Values to Identify the Optimal Combination

et al. 2023

This study investigated the image quality and choice of ultra-high b-value of two DWI breast-MRI research applications. The study cohort comprised 40 patients (20 malignant lesions). In addition to s-DWI with two m-b-values (b50 and b800) and three e-b-values (e-b1500, e-b2000, and e-b2500), z-DWI and IR m-b1500 DWI were applied. z-DWI was acquired with the same measured b-values and e-b-values as the standard sequence. For IR m-b1500 DWI, b50 and b1500 were measured, and e-b2000 and e-b2500 were mathematically extrapolated. Three readers used Likert scales to independently analyze all ultra-high b-values (b1500–b2500) for each DWI with regards to scan preference and image quality. ADC values were measured in all 20 lesions. z-DWI was the most preferred (54%), followed by IR m-b1500 DWI (46%). b1500 was significantly preferred over b2000 for z-DWI and IR m-b1500 DWI (p = 0.001 and p = 0.002, respectively). Lesion detection was not significantly different among sequences or b-values (p = 0.174). There were no significant differences in measured ADC values within lesions between s-DWI (ADC: 0.97 [±0.09] × 10−3 mm2/s) and z-DWI (ADC: 0.99 [±0.11] × 10−3 mm2/s; p = 1.000). However, there was a trend toward lower values in IR m-b1500 DWI (ADC: 0.80 [±0.06] × 10−3 mm2/s) than in s-DWI (p = 0.090) and z-DWI (p = 0.110). Overall, image quality was superior and there were fewer image artifacts when using the advanced sequences (z-DWI + IR m-b1500 DWI) compared with s-DWI. Considering scan preferences, we found that the optimal combination was z-DWI with a calculated b1500, especially regarding examination time.
