Purpose:The purpose of this study was to discriminate between benign and malignant breast lesions through several classifiers using, as predictors, radiomic metrics extracted from CEM DCE-MRI images. In order optimize the analysis, balancing feature selection procedures were performed. Methods: Fifty-four patients with 79 histo-pathologically proven (48 31 lesions) underwent both DCE-MRI. The retrospectively analyzed artificial intelligence approaches. Forty-eight textural extracted,...
Introduction In 2018, the National Cancer Institute of Naples has launched GLUBREAST Trial to verify efficacy cyanoacrylate sealing glue prevent or reduce seroma after axillary dissection in breast surgery. The is a synthetic sealant (N-Butyl-2-CyanoAcrylate+Metacryloxisulfolane) biocompatible, CE approved for internal human uses and surgical procedures. assumed mechanism action surgery that would create seal coating operative field occlude lymphatic leaks limit formation. Materials methods...
To compare diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced dual-energy digital mammography (CEDM) and breast tomosynthesis (DBT) alone in combination compared to 2D (MX) dynamic MRI (DCE-MRI) women with lesions. We enrolled 100 consecutive patients lesions (BIRADS 3-5 at imaging or clinically suspicious). CEDM, DBT, DCE-MRI were acquired. Synthetized MX was obtained by DBT. A total 134 investigated on 111 breasts patients: 53 histopathologically proven as benign 81 malignant. Nonparametric...
To combine blood oxygenation level dependent magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-MRI), dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), and diffusion weighted (DW-MRI) in differentiation of benign malignant breast lesions.Thirty-seven lesions (11 21 lesions) pathologically proven were included this retrospective preliminary study. Pharmaco-kinetic parameters including Ktrans, kep, ve, vp extracted by DCE-MRI; BOLD estimated basal signal S0 the relaxation rate R2*; perfusion derived DW-MRI...
Purpose: The aim of the study was to estimate diagnostic accuracy textural, morphological and dynamic features, extracted by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) images, carrying out univariate multivariate statistical analyses including artificial intelligence approaches. Methods: In total, 85 patients with known breast lesion were enrolled in this retrospective according regulations issued local Institutional Review Board. All underwent DCE-MRI examination. reference...
Purpose. To determine the diagnostic accuracy of DOBIComfortScan in patients with Breast Imaging Reporting suspect breast lesions (BI-RADS) 4-5 lesions. Materials and Methods. One-hundred thirteen underwent examination before surgery. Twelve parameters were taken into consideration to define DOBI findings. Results. Twenty-seven radical mastectomies, 47 quadrantectomies 39 wide excisions, performed. Overall, 65 invasive cancer, 9 situ carcinoma nonmalignant lesions, observed. Ten out 12...
Background In Western society, the percentage of elderly people is continually growing. The prevalence goiter increases with age and it estimated that 90% women over 60 years old 60% men 80 have a relief thyroid nodules. This has great importance for these patients, because incidence malignant transformation higher than younger ones are often tumor very aggressive patterns. If thyroidectomy indicated patients suspected neoplasm severe obstructive symptoms, their surgery should not be delayed...
Electrochemotherapy has been shown to be safe, effective and non-invasive loco-regional treatment for chest wall breast cancer recurrence. is a palliative offered patients with cutaneous metastases from cancer, which are not eligible resection and/or systemic therapy ineffective or contraindicated. combines the administration of bleomycin electroporation tumor cell, intraoperatively. Here we present case women affected by multi-drug resistant metastatic synchronous solid cancers who refused...
The arginine vasopressin (AVP) concentrations were determined in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) during a 24-hour period 7 male patients suffering from hydrocephalus of differing etiologies. Blood ventricular CSF samples simultaneously collected every 2 h the day (08.00-22.00) hour night (24.00-07.00). In both CSF, AVP levels did not show significant time-related circadian variations. No correlation was found between values period. data obtained indicate absence rhythm hydrocephalic...
Here we report a case of 50-mm lump within the left breast in 56-year-old man. The patient underwent total mastectomy and sentinel node biopsy. pathology showed low-grade intracystic papillary carcinoma surrounded by ductal situ. Sentinel biopsy was negative. prescribed five years tamoxifen.
