A 58-year-old woman was diagnosed with ER-positive (Allred score 8) ILC in her right breast. Ultrasound and MRI found prominent lymph nodes in right axillary level I area, diagnosed as metastasis on ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration. F-18 FES-PET/CT showed a positive mass in right breast (white arrow; SUVmax, 5.6) and multiple F-18 FES–positive lymph nodes in right axillary level I, II, and II/III junction areas (red arrows; SUVmax, up to 12.2). In addition, a small F-18 FES-positive lymph node was observed in the right second internal mammary area (red circles; SUVmax, 1.8). However, biopsy could not be performed because it was too small and not visible on ultrasound; the clinician decided to include internal mammary lymph node in treatment field for adjuvant radiotherapy. The patient underwent lumpectomy with ALN dissection, with five metastases being identified in 13 lymph nodes dissected, and is scheduled to receive adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and endocrine therapy.

FES-PET shows promise staging women with invasive lobular cancer

Invasive lobular cancer is the second most common type of breast cancer and is difficult to detect, but FES-PET could aid in surgical staging.

Breast imaging AI algorithm influenced by patient characteristics

By Amerigo Allegretto

Patient characteristics influenced false-positive results on DBT when analyzed by an FDA-approved AI algorithm.

May 21, 2024

An example mammogram was assigned a false-positive case score of 96 in a 59-year-old Black patient with scattered fibroglandular breast density by an FDA-approved AI algorithm. (A) Left craniocaudal and (B) mediolateral oblique views demonstrate vascular calcifications in the upper outer quadrant at middle depth (box) that were singularly identified by the algorithm as a suspicious finding and assigned an individual lesion score of 90. This resulted in an overall case score assigned to the mammogram of 96.
