Training Methods of Clinical Breast Examination
With respect to the important role of clinical examination in breast lesion diagnosis, training of Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) to medical students are very critical. Despite the various method of physical examination, the current methods like using patients especially about breast aren’t accepted because of various reasons. Until now, any review studies about the optimum method of CBE hav...
متن کاملSSQ 01 Breast Imaging ( Breast Density and Risk Assessment
During the study period, 194 cases of breast cancer were identified on screening mammography in 40-49 year old women; 53% invasive cancer and 47% ductal carcinoma in situ. Of the patients with invasive disease, 23% had axillary nodal involvement. A very strong family history was absent in 90%, and extremely dense breast tissue was absent in 86%. 78% patients had neither very strong family histo...
متن کاملBreast Density into Clinical Practice
It is well established that breast density is related to breast cancer risk; making that connection precise, and understanding how to use it in clinical practice, has been a major academic focus since the 1970’s. However, it transpires that the first clinical uses of breast density have not been for risk prediction, rather they are for judging when to recommend further imaging. In this paper, w...
متن کاملFibrogenesis: Mechanisms, Dynamics and Clinical Implications
Fibrosis is the pathological condition resulting in the growth of excess fibrous connective tissue in an organ or body system as a reparative or reactive process. In the field of clinical pathology, clinicians and medical scientists are endeavoring to translate experimental knowledge into effective, innovative treatments for a range of fibrotic conditions. The amelioration of whole organ functi...
متن کاملFactors Affecting Agreement between Breast Density Assessment Using Volumetric Methods and Visual Analogue Scales
Mammographic density in digital mammograms can be assessed visually or using automated volumetric methods; the aim in both cases is to identify women at greater risk of developing breast cancer, and those for whom mammography is less sensitive. Ideally all methods should identify the same women as having high density, but this is not the case in practice. 6422 women were ranked from the highest...
