Norwegian mammo study claims to find cancer 'spontaneous regression'

A new study released today by Norwegian researchers offers an intriguing hypothesis: More frequent mammography screening intervals find some cancers that might otherwise "spontaneously regress" and would pose no threat were they not discovered.

Dual-time-point FDG-PET/CT improves breast imaging accuracy

Recent study results suggest that dual-time-point imaging with acquisition in the prone position improves PET/CT accuracy in patients with suspected breast cancer over single-time-point PET/CT. However, for lesions smaller than 10 mm, MRI shows higher sensitivity and should be preferred, according to the researchers.

US-guided core-needle breast biopsy offers alternative to surgery

Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center studied 14-gauge ultrasound-guided biopsy's false-negative and underestimation rates, concluding that the technique provides an accurate alternative to surgical excision for evaluating nonpalpable breast lesions.

When MRI won't work, MDCT can help differentiate breast lesions, study suggests

MDCT can be a helpful tool when mammographic or sonographic findings are unclear and there is no palpable lesion, as well as in cases of suspected lesions, particularly in women for whom MRI isn't feasible, according to a study published in the American Journal of Roentgenology.
