The cost-effectiveness of genetic testing strategies for Lynch Syndrome among newly diagnosed patients with colorectal cancer

"This finding provides support for a recent US recommendation to offer testing for Lynch syndrome to all newly diagnosed patients with colorectal cancer."

MRI, CT, and PET/CT for Ovarian Cancer Detection and Adnexal Lesion Characterization

"CONCLUSION. The goal of imaging in ovarian cancer detection is to expeditiously distinguish benign adnexal lesions from those requiring further pathologic evaluation for malignancy. For lesions indeterminate on ultrasound, MRI increases the specificity of imaging evaluation, thus decreasing benign resections. CT is useful in diagnosis and treatment planning of advanced cancer. Although 18F-FDG-avid ovarian lesions in postmenopausal women are considered suspicious for malignancy, PET/CT is not recommended for primary cancer detection because of high false-positive rates."

MRI of Endometriotic Cysts in Association With Ovarian Carcinoma

"CONCLUSION. Endometriotic cysts with enhanced mural nodules are not always complicated with malignancy. In elderly patients, the presence of large enhanced nodules on large endometriotic cysts is more likely to indicate malignancy."

Risk Assessment and Genetic Testing for Ovarian Cancer

"CONCLUSION. To offer potentially life-saving interventions for at-risk family members, we propose that every woman newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer be offered genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes because mutations in these genes are the strongest known predictors of ovarian cancer risk."

Ultrasound and Assessment of Ovarian Cancer Risk

New Frontiers for Ovarian Cancer Risk Evaluation: Proteomics and Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound

abstract: Current Update on Borderline Ovarian Neoplasms

CONCLUSION. Borderline tumors are considered to be precursors of low-grade ovarian cancers. Accurate diagnosis and staging facilitate optimal patient management particularly in patients desiring to preserve fertility.

MRI in the planning of initial lumpectomy for invasive breast carcinoma: effect on ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence after breast conserving therapy

CONCLUSION: MRI evaluation of invasive carcinoma in the planning of initial lumpectomies was not associated with improved local outcomes after BCS (breast conserving surgery) with RT in this cohort of patients.
