Radiation for Hodgkin’s disease puts women at greater risk for breast cancer
Women exposed to radiation therapy for Hodgkin’s disease have a relative risk 7.7 times greater than the general population of developing breast cancer, according to a study presented at the European Congress of Radiology in Vienna, in March.
Women exposed to radiation therapy for Hodgkin’s disease have a relative risk 7.7 times greater than the general population of developing breast cancer, according to a study presented at the European Congress of Radiology in Vienna, in March.
European Congress of Radiology in Vienna, in March. Dr. Andrea Luparia, from the University of Torino in Italy, and colleagues retrospectively studied 43 women treated with radiation therapy for Hodgkin’s disease between 1980 and 2009. Six invasive breast cancers were detected by mammography in five of the 43 women. Breast cancer was diagnosed following a median latent period from radiotherapy of 13.3 years. Average radiation dose was 33.6 Gy while in women who developed breast cancer it was 37.9 Gy.
For women treated for Hodgkin’s disease with radiation therapy, no-dose breast imaging options should be considered, the authors said. Of women with high-density breasts, those younger than 30 should be monitored with ultrasound and MR. Those older than 30 should be monitored with ultrasound, mammography, and MR.
Could a Deep Learning Model for Mammography Improve Prediction of DCIS and Invasive Breast Cancer?
April 15th 2024Artificial intelligence (AI) assessment of mammography images may significantly enhance the prediction of invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in women with breast cancer, according to new research presented at the Society for Breast Imaging (SBI) conference.
Mammography-Based AI Abnormality Scoring May Improve Prediction of Invasive Upgrade of DCIS
April 9th 2024Emerging research suggests that an artificial intelligence (AI) score of 75 or greater for mammography abnormalities more than doubles the likelihood of invasive upgrade of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) diagnosed with percutaneous biopsy.
Mammography Study: AI Improves Breast Cancer Detection and Reduces Reading Time with DBT
April 3rd 2024An emerging artificial intelligence (AI) model demonstrated more than 12 percent higher specificity and reduced image reading time by nearly six seconds in comparison to unassisted radiologist interpretation of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) images.
