background: many literatures have documented that psychosocial care can improve health outcomes and reduce morbidity in women with breast cancer. the aim of this study was to evaluate the opinion of the breast cancer professional team members on integration of psychosocial care in regular management of breast cancer. methods: a cross sectional sample of 313 physicians involving in diagnosis, tr...

Mammography is the best available tool for screening for the early detection of breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer facilitated with digital mammography can increase survival rate and chances for patient's complete recovery. Bilateral asymmetry is one the breast abnormalities that may indicate breast cancer in early sta...

Background & aim: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, which its early diagnosis is of paramount importance for the prevention of its associated mortality and morbidity. Breast self-examination (BSE) is one of the methods for the early detection of breast cancer. Education plays an important role in increasing BSE practice. Regarding this, the present study was conducted to measure...

background: recently, it has been indicated that x-ray coherent scatter from biological tissues can be used to access signature of tissue. some scientists are interested in studying this effect to get early detection of breast cancer. since experimental methods for optimization are time consuming and expensive, some scientists suggest using simulation. monte carlo (mc) codes are the best option...

methods in this research, we utilized the chaos theory and fractal analysis in the interpretation of breast tumors on dce-mri. this cross-sectional study was done at pardisnoor imaging center during years 2015 and 2016 in iran. our sample size was 18 mass lesions, which were randomly selected among patients with birad 3 and birad 4 classification by the expert radiologist. the analysis was perf...

background: breast conservation therapy (bct) is the standard of care for early stage breast cancer. the procedure can be a challenge for the surgeon if the lesion is non-palpable. for excision of non-palpable breast lesions, they should be localized precisely before surgery. there are different techniques such as the wgl (wire guided localization), roll (radio-guided occult lesion localization...
