Ultrasound Radiomics Features to Identify Patients With Triple-Negative Breast Cancer J. Ultrasound Med. (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2023-12-09 Lie Cai, Chris Sidey-Gibbons, Juliane Nees, Fabian Riedel, Benedikt Schaefgen, Riku Togawa, Kristina Killinger, Joerg Heil, André Pfob, Michael Golatta
Patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) exhibit a fast tumor growth rate and poor survival outcomes. In this study, we aimed to develop and compare intelligent algorithms using ultrasound radiomics features in addition to clinical variables to identify patients with TNBC prior to histopathologic diagnosis.

Ultrasonography for the Diagnosis and Follow-Up of Extramammary Paget Disease (EMPD) J. Ultrasound Med. (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2023-12-06 Miquel Just-Sarobé, Anna Sánchez-Puigdollers, Nerea Mohino-Farré, Clara Martin-Callizo, Josep A. Pujol-Montcusí, Laia Pastor-Jane
Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare skin tumor that manifests as poorly delimited lesions located mainly in genital area. Prognosis correlates with thickness and dermal invasion. The gold standard for diagnosis is the histopathological study of a biopsy. However, this technique is invasive and only shows a small area of the tumor. A good correlation has been reported between ultrasounds (US)
