Erratum to: Ultrasonographic Characteristics of Mammographically Occult Small Breast Cancer

چکیده
PURPOSE To analyze significant ultrasonographic findings of small malignant breast mass (≤10 mm) which were occult on mammography. METHODS The study included 190 small breast masses (≤10 mm), demonstrated on breast ultrasonography, but not mammography. Histopathology (when the masses were biopsied) or serial breast ultrasonography (for at least 24 months) were used to confirm benign or malignant condition of the masses. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to identify significant characteristic malignant findings on ultrasonography. RESULTS Of 190 masses, 46 were cancer, and 144 were benign. On multivariate analyses, irregular shape (odds ratio [OR], 10.4) and not circumscribed margin (OR, 31.6) were significant features to differentiate between benign and malignant breast masses. However, low width/anteroposterior ratio, echogenic halo, hypoechogenecity and posterior acoustic shadow, which were predictors for malignancy in large breast mass, were not documented in small mass. CONCLUSION In conclusion, irregular shape and not circumscribed margin detected during ultrasonography were strong predictive signs of malignancy for small malignant breast mass.

Breast-Specific γ-Imaging for the Detection of Mammographically Occult Breast Cancer in Women at Increased Risk.
UNLABELLED Breast-specific γ-imaging (BSGI) is a physiologic imaging modality that can detect subcentimeter and mammographically occult breast cancer, with a sensitivity and specificity comparable to MRI. The purpose of this study was to determine the incremental increase in breast cancer detection when BSGI is used as an adjunct to mammography in women at increased risk for breast cancer. ME...

Diffusion-Weighted MRI: Influence of b-value and lesion characteristics on conspicuity of mammographically-occult invasive breast cancer in women with dense breasts
Women with increased breast density are at elevated risk for breast cancer, independent of other risk factors. While dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI is the gold standard for identification of cancer in dense breasts, high costs and safety concerns associated with gadolinium contrast preclude its use for routine screening. As such, there is a critical need for a safe, effective, low cost scr...
