“…24 The distinctive features of stellate lesions have a positive-predictive value of 84-91% and are most common mammographic features of invasive breast cancer. 25 These features were easily recognized by our readers and were recalled for further assessment. However, when stellate features were associated with other mammographic features such as NSD with ill-defined borders or AD, these lesions became less suspicious and hence were not recalled at lower rates.…”

Cancers with a stellate mass were more easily detected and were more likely to continue to be recalled, even at lower recall rates. Cancers with non-specific density and mixed features were most likely to be missed at reduced recall rates. Advances in knowledge: Internationally, recall rates vary within screening mammography programs considerably, with a range between 1% and 15%, and very little is known about the type of breast cancer appearances found when radiologists interpret screening mammograms at these various recall rates. Therefore, understanding the lesion types and the mammographic appearances of breast cancers that are affected by readers' recall decisions should be investigated.

“…In India, breast cancer is now the most common cancer in most cities, and second most common in the rural areas after cervical cancer [ 2 ]. The biological behavior is considered to be heterogenous and dramatically different outcomes can be seen in patients with similar clinicopathological features [ 3 , 4 ]. The gene expression profiling has divided breast cancer into five different subtypes: luminal A, luminal B, normal breast-like, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/neu)-overexpressing, and basal-like [ 5 , 6 ].…”

BackgroundBreast cancer is the most common female cancer seen globally. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a special subtype without any obvious target and optimum treatment remains challenging. The aim was to study the clinical, pathological profile and treatment outcome of TNBC patients.MethodsThis was a retrospective observational study of TNBC patients diagnosed from January 2010 to June 2012 at a tertiary cancer center in South India. Patient’s clinical and pathological characteristics were studied. The 5-year estimate of survival for non-metastatic TNBC was done using the Kaplan-Meier method.ResultsOut of 804 patients of breast cancer, 237 were diagnosed as TNBC. The median age was 45 years and 58% were premenopausal. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) for non-metastatic TNBC patients were 59% and 74%, respectively. The addition of a taxane to anthracycline-based regimen did not show a significant difference in DFS (P = 0.885) as well as OS (P = 0.856).ConclusionThe role of adding taxanes to anthracycline-based chemotherapy in adjuvant setting for TNBC remains controversial and larger prospective studies are warranted.

“…Despite many controversies, it has been accepted that BSE increases the awareness of normal appearance and structure of breasts and the consequent ability to detect subtle changes that don’t correspond to the normal features of healthy breasts. Breast health awareness may, therefore, increase the ability of women to find small palpable tumours early, leading them to consult their physician immediately after discovering undue changes in their breasts 6,9,10. Unfortunately, few women perform BSE and there is little information on the attitude of individual women and specific groups of women towards this way of breast change detection 3,6…”

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to asses the attitude of undergraduate midwifery students towards teaching other women in methods of breast self-examination (BSE).Participants and methods.The study was performed at the beginning and at the end of students’ study at the Faculty of Health Sciences in Ljubljana, Slovenia. It was carried out during the academic year 2002/2003 and involved 28 first and 25 third year undergraduate midwifery students. The data were gathered from questionnaires and processed with the use of descriptive and inferential statistics.ResultsAll study participants were of the opinion that teaching other women in methods of BSE is of great importance for an early detection of breast cancer (BC) and that this task ought to be one of their duties. There were no significant differences between the two groups when the readiness to upgrade their own knowledge of BSE or when the optimism regarding the progress in breast cancer detection and therapy in the future were concerned.ConclusionsThe readiness of midwifery students to pass the knowledge of BSE to other women could help to increase their breast health awareness and thus improve their willingness and ability to detect early changes, associated with BC.
