Breast cancer, as a heterogeneous disease, includes a wide range of pathological and clinical behaviors. Current treatment protocols, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and hormone replacement therapy, are mainly associated with poor response and high rate of recurrence. Therefore, more efforts are needed to develop alternative therapies for this type of cancer. Immunotherapy, as a novel str...

Breast lesion is a malignant tumor that occurs in the epithelial tissue of breast. The early detection breast lesions can make patients for treatment and improve survival rate. Thus, accurate automatic segmentation from ultrasound images fundamental task. However, effectively still faced up with two challenges. One characteristics lesions’ multi-scale other one blurred edges difficult. To solve...

Abstract Hyperechogenic breast lesions are a relatively rare finding at ultrasonography and traditionally thought to be benign. However, hyperechogenicity on the ultrasound alone does not provide enough evidence rule out malignancy completely. We herein reported short series of nine cases echogenic malignant lesions, which include invasive ductal carcinoma, carcinoma in situ, lobular angiosarco...

Microwave breast screening has been proposed as a complementary modality to the current standard of X-ray mammography. In this work, we design three ensemble classification structures that fuse information from multiple sensors to detect abnormalities in the breast. A principled Neyman-Pearson approach is developed to allow control of the trade-off between false positive rate and the false nega...

PURPOSE To evaluate the value of breast MRI in analysis of papillomas of the breast. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 1996 to 2004, 94 patients underwent surgery due to papillomas of the breast. Among them, 21 patients underwent 3D fast low angle shot (FLASH) dynamic breast MRI. Eight masses were palpable and 11 of 21 patients had nipple discharge. Two radiologists indifferently analyzed the locati...
