Hybrid VMAT-3DCRT as Breast Treatment Improvement Tool [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Radiation therapy is an important tool in the treatment of breast cancer and can play a crucial role in improving patient outcomes. For breast cancer, if the technique has been for a long time the use of 3DCRT, clinicians have seen the management evolve greatly in recent years. Field-in-field and IMRT approaches and more recently dynamic arctherapy are

Deep-learning-based Breast CT for Radiation Dose Reduction [PDF]
, 2019 Cone-beam breast computed tomography (CT) provides true 3D breast images with isotropic resolution and high-contrast information, detecting calcifications as small as a few hundred microns and revealing subtle tissue differences. However, breast is highly sensitive to x-ray radiation.

A Deep Embedded Refined Clustering Approach for Breast Cancer Distinction based on DNA Methylation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Epigenetic alterations have an important role in the development of several types of cancer. Epigenetic studies generate a large amount of data, which makes it essential to develop novel models capable of dealing with large-scale data. In this work, we propose a deep embedded refined clustering method for breast cancer differentiation based on DNA ...

Decreased risk of breast cancer associated with oral bisphosphonate therapy [PDF]
, 2012 Preclinical studies and adjuvant trials using bisphosphonates have found them to have an antitumor effect. Although major advances have been made in chemoprevention strategies with selective estrogen receptor modulators and aromatase inhibitors, their ...

Understanding the functional impact of copy number alterations in breast cancer using a network modeling approach [PDF]
, 2016 Copy number alterations (CNAs) are thought to account for 85% of the variation in gene expression observed among breast tumours. The expression of cis-associated genes is impacted by CNAs occurring at proximal loci of these genes, whereas the expression of trans-associated genes is impacted by CNAs occurring at distal loci.

Deep Efficient End-to-end Reconstruction (DEER) Network for Few-view Breast CT Image Reconstruction [PDF]
, 2019 Breast CT provides image volumes with isotropic resolution in high contrast, enabling detection of small calcification (down to a few hundred microns in size) and subtle density differences. Since breast is sensitive to x-ray radiation, dose reduction of breast CT is an important topic, and for this purpose, few-view scanning is a main approach.
