Upstaging Rates, Management Strategies for Radial Scars on Screening DBT

Imaging Technology

“Imaging surveillance rather than surgery is a reasonable approach for radial scars without atypia, particularly for those presenting as calcifications,” wrote coauthor Manisha Bahl, MD, MPH, from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Patients without surgical excision or at least 2 years of imaging follow-up after CNB were excluded.

Imaging surveillance suggested for radial scars found on DBT

AuntMinnie

In a study, Claire Crowley and Manisha Bahl, MD, from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, found that screening-detected radial scars without atypia at core-needle biopsy have a low upstaging rate to breast cancer of less than 2%. It excluded women without surgical excision or at least two years of imaging follow-up after biopsy.

The REVIVED Trial: PCI in Patients with Severe Ischemic Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction?

REBEL EM

Background: Coronary artery disease can result in hibernating myocardium (chronic myocardial contractile dysfunction) due to ischemia. The theory is that there is reduced coronary blood flow and increased myocardial demand resulting in impaired contractility. OMT: 38.0% HR 0.99; 95% CI 0.78 to 1.27; p = 0.96 OMT: 38.0% HR 0.99; 95% CI 0.78
