Molecular Subtypes of Breast Cancer: A Review for Breast Radiologists Open
Gene expression profiling has reshaped our understanding of breast cancer by identifying four molecular subtypes: (1) luminal A, (2) luminal B, (3) human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-enriched, and (4) basal-like, which have cr…

Mixed-Methods Study to Predict Upstaging of DCIS to Invasive Disease on Mammography Open
BACKGROUND. The incidence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) has steadily increased, as have concerns regarding overtreatment. Active surveillance is a novel treatment strategy that avoids surgical excision, but identifying patients…

Exploiting heat shock protein expression to develop a non-invasive diagnostic tool for breast cancer Open
Leveraging the unique surface expression of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) in breast cancer provides an exciting opportunity to develop rapid diagnostic tests at the point-of-care setting. Hsp90 has previously been shown to have elevated ex…

Persistent breast pain in post-surgery breast cancer survivors and women with no history of breast surgery or cancer: associations with pain catastrophizing, perceived breast cancer risk, breast cancer worry, and emotional distress Open
Background: Persistent breast pain (PBP) is prevalent among breast cancer survivors and has powerful negative psychological consequences. The present study provided a first test of the hypothesis that: (a) pain catastrophizing, (b) …

Machine learning‐based prediction of future breast cancer using algorithmically measured background parenchymal enhancement on high‐risk screening MRI Open
Background Preliminary work has demonstrated that background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) assessed by radiologists is predictive of future breast cancer in women undergoing high‐risk screening MRI. Algorithmically assessed measures of BPE…

The relationship between holding back from communicating about breast concerns and anxiety in the year following breast biopsy Open
Anxiety increased among women with a benign result engaging in high but not low or average levels of holding back. Holding back was positively associated with anxiety post-result in breast cancer survivors, with anxiety decreasing over tim…
