BACKGROUND Inequalities in uptake of cancer screening by ethnic minority populations are well documented in a number of international studies. However, most studies to date have explored screening uptake for a single cancer only. This paper compares breast and bowel cancer screening uptake for a cohort of South Asian women invited to undertake both, and similarly investigates these women's brea...
Physical examination and mammography are currently the only proven and reliable methods of early detection of breast cancer. Although, both procedures are highly sensitive, their limited specificity often requires surgical biopsy in order to differentiate between malignant and benign lesions.Palpable mass abnormalities of breast are often difficult to evaluate mammographically, especially in pa...
The effects of a UK review of Breast Cancer Screening on Uptake: An observational before/after study
OBJECTIVES To measure whether uptake of breast cancer screening was affected by the publication of the Marmot Review and associated press coverage. SETTING Eight NHS breast screening centres in the West Midlands of the UK. METHODS Uptake of breast cancer screening invitations was compared in the week before and after the Marmot review publication. All 12,023 women invited for screening betw...
A pilot study is underway to quantify in vivo the uptake and distribution of Tc-99m Sestamibi in subjects without previous history of breast cancer using a dedicated SPECT-CT breast imaging system. Subjects undergoing diagnostic parathyroid imaging studies were consented and imaged as part of this IRB-approved breast imaging study. For each of the seven subjects, one randomly selected breast wa...
Positron emission tomography (PET) using the radiolabeled glucose analogue 18F-FDG allows uncovering glycolysis processes within cancer cells and reveals high value in diagnosis, staging, relapse and therapeutic response evaluation in several malignancies. Breast cancer presents considerable variability when it comes to 18F-FDG uptake, which results in different sensitivity and specificity valu...
511 AYOUNG WOMAN with papillary thyroid cancer treated with total thyroidectomy, received an ablative dose (3000 MBq) of 131I. Thyroxine had been withdrawn for 4 weeks. A wholebody scan was performed 8 days after the ablative dose of 131I. The scan (Fig. 1) shows uptake in the thyroid bed caused by thyroid remnant, diffuse uptake in the liver, and uptake in both breasts. Post-131I therapy scans...
UNLABELLED To investigate the contribution of various tumor components to tumor [3H]FDG uptake, the size of proliferative cell and macrophage populations and the extent of necrosis, inflammatory infiltration and granulation tissue formation were evaluated in syngeneic rat mammary cancers (RMC) grown in immunocompetent rats, an animal tumor model that closely mimics human breast carcinoma. MET...
UNLABELLED We investigated the relevance of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) gene to the uptake of (18)F-FDG and tumor aggressiveness in breast cancer. METHODS In 52 individuals with breast cancer, a diagnostic PET/CT scan was obtained, and the standardized uptake value was determined as a measure of (18)F-FDG uptake using a region-of-interest techni...
Purpose: Using three breast cancer screening methods such as mammogram, Clinical Breast Examination (CBE), and Breast Self-Examination (BSE), this study investigated breast cancer screening rates and its associated factors in Korean American immigrant women. Method: Cross-sectional data were obtained from 168 Korean immigrant women aged 40 and older in Midwest. The Andersen’s Behavioral Model (...
The purpose of this study was to develop an efficient way to synthesize (99m)Tc-O-[3-(1,4,8,11-tetraazabicyclohexadecane)-propyl]-tyrosine ((99m)Tc-N4-Tyrosine), a novel amino acid-based radiotracer, and evaluate its potential in breast cancer gamma imaging. Precursor N4-Tyrosine was synthesized using a 5-step procedure, and its total synthesis yield was 38%. It was successfully labeled with (9...
