Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced breast biopsy instrumentation (ABBI) is a device for biopsy of suspicious small lesions of the breast for diagnosis. The procedure involved utilises a stereotactic imaging system and is minimally invasive. From the literature available on ABBI, the sensitivity and specificity of the procedure from the studies retrieved was unclear, most of the studies being quasi-experimental in design, and providing limited detail on patient selection, blinding and randomisation. There is a need for women who are found, via mammography, to have suspicious small breast lesions investigated, to determine whether the lesion is invasive, in-situ, or benign. The limited safety data available suggests that the procedure is safe. Currently there is insufficient evidence to conclude that ABBI is superior to the standard diagnostic tests for breast lesions of less than 10 mm, which are core biopsy or hookwire breast localisation needle for open surgical biopsy. Since there is insufficient evidence to conclude that ABBI is superior to the standard diagnostic tests, no cost-effectiveness analysis has been undertaken.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced breast biopsy instrumentation (ABBI) is a device for diagnostic biopsy of detected lesions of the breast. The procedure involves utilisation of a stereotactic imaging system. Safety data differs widely as ABBI requires specialised surgical techniques and surgeon experience differs between centres. The adverse events associated with ABBI were often as a result of technical or equipment failure. No randomised controlled trials comparing ABBI with any other therapeutic or diagnostic procedure or properly designed diagnostic studies have been completed to date. Studies have compared ABBI to core needle biopsy, mammotome and wire localised biopsy. There is some evidence of cost savings from using ABBI compared with other biopsy procedures. But even if there were cost savings, this may not translate into a better cost-effectiveness ratio. MSAC recommended that, on the strength of evidence pertaining to ABBI, public funding should be supported for the diagnostic use of this procedure, as long as fees are such that health system costs do not exceed those of comparators. There is insufficient evidence for the use of ABBI in a therapeutic role for breast cancer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: X-ray mammography screening is the current mainstay for early breast cancer detection. It has been proven to detect breast cancer at an earlier stage and to reduce the number of women dying from the disease. However, it has a number of limitations. These current limitations in early breast cancer detection technology are driving a surge of new technological developments, from modifications of x-ray mammography such as computer programs that can indicate suspicious areas, to newer methods of detection such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or biochemical tests on breast fluids. To explore the merits and drawbacks of these new breast cancer detection techniques, the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences convened a committee of experts. During its year of operation, the committee examined the peer-reviewed literature, consulted with other experts in the field, and held two public workshops. In addition to identifying promising new technologies for early detection, the committee explored potential barriers that might prevent the development of new detection methods and their common usage. Such barriers could include lack of funding from agencies that support research and lack of investment in the commercial sector; complicated, inconsistent, or unpredictable federal regulations; inadequate insurance reimbursement; and limited access to or unacceptability of breast cancer detection technology for women and their doctors. Based on the findings of their study, the committee prepared a report entitled Mammography and Beyond: Developing Technology for Early Detection of Breast Cancer, which was published in the spring of 2001. This is a non-technical summary of that report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intuitive, ingenious and powerful technique, sentinel lymph node biopsy has entered clinical practice with astonishing rapidity and now represents a new standard of care for melanoma and breast cancer patients, while showing great promise for the treatment of urologic, colorectal, gynecologic, and head and neck cancers. This text, written by international experts in the technique, provides a clear and comprehensive guide, presenting a detailed overview and discussing the various mapping techniques available and how these are applied in a number of leading institutions. This essential resource for surgical onocologists, pathologists, and specialists in nuclear medicine will also provide key information for those planning to start a sentinel lymph node program.

Download or read book Breast Imaging written by E. D. Pisano and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this work, Breast Imaging, reflects the intellectual expansion of the field that previously was limited to standard mammography. NMR, Sestimibi scanning, EPR, and optical imaging are all adding to the richness of approaches directed at the early detection of breast cancer. These approaches put us in the enviable position of asking which technologies are the most specific (not just the most sensitive), and which are the most cost effective (and not simply most useful). This book, edited by Dr Etta Pisano, discusses the key questions and discoveries in breast imaging through a series of essays.

Download or read book Minimally Invasive Breast Biopsies written by Renzo Brun del Re and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-17 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern imaging methods have made it possible to detect breast cancer at an earlier stage than in the past. Nevertheless, a large majority of suspicious findings at screening subsequently prove to be benign. It is therefore important to be able to identify benign lesions in a manner that is reliable, tissue sparing, patient friendly, and cost-effective. More than 70% of breast biopsies can now be performed using minimally invasive procedures that meet these criteria. This book examines in detail vacuum-assisted minimally invasive breast biopsy systems (ATEC, EnCor, Intact, Mammotome and Vacora), stereotactic systems, MRI-guided procedures, and ductoscopy. Further chapters are devoted to the pathology of the breast tissue obtained using these procedures, their limitations, the implications of recent advances in breast imaging, and the results of cost-benefit analyses. The closing chapter provides a systematic review and meta-analysis of recent data.
Download or read book Advanced Therapy of Breast Disease written by S. Eva Singletary and published by PMPH-USA. This book was released on 2004 with total page 902 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The information surveyed in this volulme is designed to provide the clinician with an expert overview of the current state of the art in breast cancer management. It should provide at least a flavor of the major paradigm shift that is occurring in this rapidly evolving field. Breast cancer management is moving away from a "kill or cure" model and advancing toward a model focused on strategies of prevention and of long-term management of breast cancer as a chronic disease. The acceptance of this new paradigm by patients and clinicians alike will represent a major focus for the twenty-first century.
Download or read book Digital Breast Tomosynthesis written by Alberto Tagliafico and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive description of the screening and clinical applications of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and offers straightforward, clear guidance on use of the technique. Informative clinical cases are presented to illustrate how to take advantage of DBT in clinical practice. The importance of DBT as a diagnostic tool for both screening and diagnosis is increasing rapidly. DBT improves upon mammography by depicting breast tissue on a video clip made of cross‐sectional images reconstructed in correspondence with their mammographic planes of acquisition. DBT results in markedly reduced summation of overlapping breast tissue and offers the potential to improve mammographic breast cancer surveillance and diagnosis. This book will be an excellent practical teaching guide for beginners and a useful reference for more experienced radiologists.
