The Role of Breast Imaging in Pre- and Post-Definitive Treatment of Breast Cancer

Abstract

Breast imaging is an integral part of breast cancer management. Many imaging modalities are available in assisting clinicians in the screening and detection of breast cancer. These can be broadly grouped under three categories: X-ray-based breast imaging, magnetic-field-based breast imaging, and ultrasound wave-based breast imaging. Mammography is the most used X-ray-based breast imaging. This chapter provides an overview of various imaging modalities with emphasis on mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound. Their uses in pre-and post-treatment settings, along with their advantages and disadvantages are presented from an Indonesian perspective.Note to the Reader: This chapter is part of the book Breast Cancer (ISBN: 978-0-6453320-3-2), scheduled for publication in July 2022.

Correlation of Mitotic Index (MI) and Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) to Chemotherapy Response in Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital Medan

“…The majority of TNBC cases with and without lymph node metastases (89.3% and 82.1%) had histological grades III. Dewi & Co. Only 66.7% of the 30 samples in the study had histological grade III, although more of the tumors (72.7%) had sizes greater than 50 mm 26. Stage II participants were more likely to have the basal-like TNBC subtype, but stage III subjects were more likely to have non-basal-like subtypes.…”

Extended Deep-Learning Network for Histopathological Image-Based Multiclass Breast Cancer Classification Using Residual Features

“…These images allow pathologists to examine tissue at the cellular level and identify the presence of cancerous cells. In contrast, mammography, ultrasound, and MRI are imaging techniques that provide images of the breast tissue as a whole and can detect abnormalities in the tissue, but they cannot definitively diagnose cancer [1]. Further testing, such as a biopsy, is typically required to confirm the presence of cancer.…”
