Large U.K. study gets specific on breast ultrasound
By Rebekah Moan
Extended ipsilateral breast ultrasound can detect a significant number of extra cancers compared with the standard screening protocol alone, U.K. researchers of an extensive study have revealed. Less effect was demonstrated for complete contralateral breast ultrasound, they added.

Multiparametric MRI shines for suspected breast cancer
By Wayne Forrest
Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging each have advantages and disadvantages for assessing suspicious breast lesions. The optimal approach is multiparametric MRI using both methods, according to a new study published online in Investigative Radiology.

Hyperechogenic breast lesions: Not so benign
By Rebekah Moan
Hyperechogenic breast lesions are rare and described as generally benign. That being the case, these lesions are often overlooked and a biopsy is not recommended. But is that wise? New research suggests it is not the ideal approach.

Breast cancer therapies: Risk to the heart?
By AuntMinnieEurope.com staff writers
The risk of death from heart disease in breast cancer patients following radiotherapy or chemotherapy is no higher than it is among the average population, according to a large study by German scientists. Good risk management in hospitals and control screenings at short intervals seem to make up for elevated risks, they added.

Growth in breast tumor size may reflect screening drop
By Rebekah Moan
The average size of breast tumors has increased significantly since 2001, and this may reflect declining screening rates, researchers reported at the European Breast Cancer Conference in Barcelona, Spain. The finding is in stark contrast to the 1980s and 1990s, when the average size of tumors decreased dramatically.

Swiss claim drop in breast cancer not due to mammography
By Rebekah Moan
Breast cancer mortality dropped strongly from the 1990s onward in Switzerland, but is the decline due to mammography screening programs? The authors of a new study published on 14 March in BMJ Open say that's possible, but it could also be due to other factors such as advances in treatment.
