correlation between imaging and pathologic measurement of breast cancer tumor size

The effect of discrepancy between radiologic size and pathologic tumor size in renal cell cancer

To investigate the difference between preoperative radiologic tumor size (RTS) and postoperative pathologic tumor size (PTS) in patients who underwent nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. We retrospectively reviewed 257 patients who received preoperative computed tomography (CT) before radical or partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma from January 2010 to May 2015 in Huashan Hospital, Sh...

Correlation Between Ultrasonography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Pathology-Measured Tumor Size in Women with Recently Diagnosed Breast Cancer

Ag-NOR and P53 Expression of the breast cancer in correlation with tumor grade

Objective: Breast cancer comprise approximately one third of malignant cases in women and is considered as the most common invasive condition in women at an age range of 15-54 years and as the second most prevalent cause of mortality at an age range of 55-74 years. Tumor inhibiting factor p53 is a vital ...

Correlation between Radiologic and Pathologic Tumor Size in Localized Renal Cell Carcinoma

PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of radiologic tumor size for making decisions regarding nephron-sparing surgery of localized renal cell carcinomas (RCCs), we compared tumor size measured by a preoperative radiologic modality with that measured in the pathologic specimen. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 2003 and December 2007, a total of 186 patients with pT1 or pT2 RCC underwent radica...

Effect of core-needle biopsy vs fine-needle aspiration on pathologic measurement of tumor size in breast cancer.

HYPOTHESIS Core-needle biopsy (CNB) and fine-needle aspiration (FNA) play an important role in the initial diagnosis of breast cancer. However, CNB might alter the size of the tumor, which might subsequently change its pathologic stage and thus affect the decision about adjuvant chemotherapy. PATIENTS Between January 2000 and May 2002, we studied 291 patients with invasive carcinoma lesion in...

Correlation between magnetic resonance imaging and histopathological tumor response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer.

AIM To evaluate the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging in assessing tumor response following neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-six patients entered a phase II study of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, undergoing bilateral breast magnetic resonance imaging before therapy and before surgery. Tumor response was classified using RE...
