“…Moreover, as Asian women have smaller breast volumes and less body fat, resulting in relatively dense breasts, it can be relatively difficult to detect breast cancer by mammography alone (Yoo et al, 2013). For these reasons, a supplemental screening tool in addition to mammography is needed to improve the detection of breast cancer among Asian women and more generally (Boonlikit, 2013;Suh et al, 2013). However, to date there is no scientific evidence that breast US screening reduces breast cancer mortality.…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy and effectiveness of automated breast volume scanning (ABVS) and hand-held ultrasound (HHUS) in the detection of breast cancer in a large population group with a long-term follow-up, and to investigate whether different ultrasound systems may influence the estimation of cancer detection. Materials and Methods: Institutional review board approval was obtained for this retrospective study, and informed consent was waived. From September 2010 to August 2011, a total of 1,866 ABVS and 3,700 HHUS participants, who underwent these procedures at our institute, were included in this study. Cancers occurring during the study and subsequent follow-up were evaluated. The reference standard was a combination of histology and follow-up imaging (≥12 months). The recall rate, cancer detection yield, diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and positive (PPV) and negative (NPV) predictive values were calculated with exact 95% confidence intervals. Results: The recall rate was 2.57 per 1,000 (48/1,866) for ABVS and 3.57 per 1,000 (132/3,700) for HHUS, with а significant difference (p=0.048). The cancer detection yield was 3.8 per 1,000 for ABVS and 2.7 per 1,000 for HHUS. The diagnostic accuracy was 97.7% for ABVS and 96.5% for HHUS with statistical significance (p=0.018). The specificity of ABVS and HHUS were 97.8%, 96.7%, respectively (p=0.022). Conclusions: ABVS shows a comparable diagnostic performance to HHUS. ABVS is an effective supplemental tool for mammography in breast cancer detection in a large population.

Asian Pac J Cancer Prev, 15 (16), 6535-6541 IntroductionBreast cancer related lymphedema (BCRL)is a chronic and common complication caused by abnormal accumulation of protein-rich fluid in the interstitial space secondary to inadequate lymphatic drainage, which manifests unilateral or bilateral upper extremity swelling in the clinical. (Cheville et al., 2003). Lymphedema and its related symptoms (pain, heaviness, tightness, and decreased range of motion) seriously affect recreational and social relationships (Hayes et al., 2012). Patients with BCRL have a lower quality of life, a higher level of anxiety or depression (Pyszel et al., 2006;Heiney et al., 2007).Due to differences in study designs, measurement methods and criterias , length of follow-up, lymphedema definitions and timing of lymphedema measurement since diagnosis and treatment, previous studies have shown about 20% of breast cancer survivors will develop lymphedema. (sakorafas et al., 2006) In recent years, many studies have established risk factors of BCRL, but conclusions are not consistent, which even contradict each other from some studies. The study systematically reviews the risk factors for BCRL with meta-analysis method to increase the credibility of the conclusions for the purpose of providing scientific evidence for early prevention of lymphedema in clinical work. Materials and Methods Literature SearchWe searched comprehensively clinical studies which were published in PubMed, Ovid, EMbase, the Cochrane Library from January 1, 1996 to December 30, 2012. The MeSH headings and keywords in this search used included "breast cancer", "upper extremity", "lymphedema" and "risk factors" Relevant articles were identified and their references were checked for additional studies.The search strategy used: ( ("Breast Neoplasms" (Mesh) AND "Upper Extremity" (Mesh)) AND ("Lymphedema" (Mesh) OR "Edema" (Mesh)) AND ("1996/01/01" (PDAT) : "2012/12/31" (PDAT)) Inclusion and Exclusion CriteriaInclusion criteria: studies of female patients with unilateral breast cancer; the primary studies of risk factors for BCRL published abroad.Exclusion criteria: studies of patients with bilateral breast cancer, primary lymphoedema, or metastatic disease (n=258); review, meta-analyses, editorial, comment , and case reports (n=121); studies that did not either inform OR and 95%CI or provide adequate information to calculate the OR and its variance (n=39); non-English-language studies (n=8).

“…Previous research demonstrates that detection rate of breast microcalcifications using ultrasound alone is low, and it is only 30-50% of detection rate of mammography X-ray (42,43). It was reported that the combination of ultrasound and X ray mammography was useful to detect the non-palpable lesions and identify the breast lesions (benign or malignant) (44,45).…”

The aim of the present study was to improve the conventional wire-guided localization biopsy (WGLB) of breast microcalcifications to overcome disadvantages associated with the procedure, including inaccurate localization and large specimen volume. The novel approach described in the present study was termed double wire-guided localization and rotary cutting biopsy (DWGLB). Prior to surgery, the precise localization of the lesions was assessed using two wires under the assistance of mammography X-ray and ultrasound, followed by complete excision of the lesions using a novel rotary cutting tool. The cylindrical specimen was placed on a scaled specimen holder for pathological examination. DWGLB was performed in 108 patients with the classification of as Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System score 4A. Percutaneous localization of the lesions guided by a mammography X-ray and ultrasound were successful in all 108 lesions (100%) with one puncture attempt. The lesions were precisely excised in all of 108 patients, and included 13 malignant lesions (DCIS of breast in 7 cases, DCIS with focal invasive carcinoma in 3 cases and invasive ductal carcinoma in 3 cases). The average distance of the BARD Dualok to the lesion was 4.1 mm; the average weight of specimens was 8.5 g. Compared with WGLB, DWGLB offers several advantages, including more accurate localization of lesions, a more standardized biopsy method and a smaller specimen volume. DWGLB can also provide the precise position of lesions in the specimen for further pathological examination.
