In this study, we present a comprehensive analysis of this relationship ... Full text Link to item Cite

Association of high proliferation marker Ki-67 expression with DCEMR imaging features of breast: A large scale evaluation

Conference Progress in Biomedical Optics and Imaging - Proceedings of SPIE · January 1, 2018 One of the methods widely used to measure the proliferative activity of cells in breast cancer patients is the immunohistochemical (IHC) measurement of the percentage of cells stained for nuclear antigen Ki-67. Use of Ki-67 expression as a prognostic marke ... Full text Cite

Positive and negative mood following imaging-guided core needle breast biopsy and receipt of biopsy results.

Journal Article Psychol Health Med · December 2017 Positive and negative mood are independent psychological responses to stressful events. Negative mood negatively impacts well-being and co-occurring positive mood leads to improved adjustment. Women undergoing core needle breast biopsies (CNB) experience d ...
