Cancer history in relatives boosts breast cancer risk
Having a first-degree relative with a family history of breast cancer sharply increases the risk of breast cancer in women older than 65, according to a study of more than 400,000 women published February 12 in JAMA Internal Medicine. The findings could weigh into the debate over whether these women should undergo mammography screening.

PET/CT images of F-18 AlF-NOTA-BCP137 in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and immunofluorescence analysis of patient tissues. (A) F-18 AlF-NOTA-BCP137 PET/CT images before and after immunotherapy for patient 1 and patient 2. (B) F-18 AlF-NOTA-BCP137 PET/CT and MR images of patient 3 (left panels) after one cycle of immunotherapy. PET images showed higher uptake by tumor and spleen, and PET result was evaluated as positive; therefore, the patient was considered to be responder to treatment and underwent surgical resection. Representative images of hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and multiplex immunofluorescence of CD8 and CD137 (right panels) in HCC tumor and adjacent normal tissues of patient 3 after surgery. Nuclei were stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole. Primary tumors are indicated by white arrows, and increased thyroid uptake is indicated by red arrow in PET images.
