Breast cancer exhibits familial aggregation, consistent with variation in genetic susceptibility
to the disease. Known susceptibility genes account for less than 25% of the familial risk of …

The Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) has been established to conduct combined
case-control analyses with augmented statistical power to try to confirm putative genetic …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified seven breast cancer susceptibility
loci, but these explain only a small fraction of the familial risk of the disease. Five of these …

Introduction Endoscopic techniques have recently been applied in thyroid surgery using
cervical, axillary, and breast approaches. We modified the axillo-bilateral breast approach (…

Shear wave elastography (SWE) is an emerging technique which can obtain quantitative
elasticity values in breast disease. We therefore evaluated the diagnostic performance of SWE …

Background The incidence of breast cancer in young women (age < 35) is low. The biology
of the disease in this age group is poorly understood, and there are conflicting data …

In this paper, we propose a new method remMap—REgularized Multivariate regression for
identifying MAster Predictors—for fitting multivariate response regression models under the …

Purpose To evaluate the potential of diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance (MR)
imaging with an apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map in the prediction of response to …

Introduction Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) has a poorer survival, despite a higher
response rate to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The purpose of this study was to identify the …

Background Endoscopic techniques have recently been applied to thyroid surgery. We
developed the bilateral axillo-breast (BAB) approach for total thyroidectomy. The aims of this …
