This investigation focused on use of additional services and incidence of new diagnoses among women who underwent a breast cancer screening MRI—having a low or average risk of the cancer—compared with a matched cohort who underwent mammography.

It is not yet clear what impact proactive screening might have on health care costs and survival outcomes.

This new study used data on women with stage 0 to II breast cancer to investigate their long-term quality of life (QOL) as it related to choice of surgery and the decision to undergo adjuvant radiation therapy.

Researchers presented results for ZB131, a monoclonal antibody that would target cancer-specific plectin (CSP); experiments with mice showed this may be present in more than 80% of the most common types of cholangiocarcinoma.

When including patients who had a mole check or cancer screening, the proportion of patients with at least 1 dermatological condition or disease increased to 47%; both non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancers were among the top 12 skin diseases reported in the study.

A recent study aimed to fill research gaps regarding skin cancer rates and risk factors in older adults.
