Is Breast MRI Screening More Effective Than Digital Mammography in Asian Women?

Using Topical Applications of Tamoxifen and a Combination of Phytonutrients Based on Breast MRI to Inhibit Estrogen-Related Proliferation of Human Breast Tissue

“…It was found a corresponding decline, noted in breast cancer incidence between 2000 and 2005 [6]. This finding clearly reflects the positive relationship between HRT and the incidence of breast cancer [7]. Observations from the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) [8] and the Million Women Study (MWS) [2] suggest an association between estrogen and breast cancer [9].…”

“…We classified 50.86% of the images as healthy (BIRADS I, II); thus, unhealthy images accounted for 48.66% (BIRADS III, IV, V, VI) of our study population (Table 1 and Figure 1) [7,[33][34][35][36]. Within the total study group was a subgroup of 219 women who had reported taking estrogen or phytoestrogen regularly for at least 3 months.…”

Using Breast MRI to Evaluate Complications of Autologous Fat Grafting

“…All imaging studies were performed on a 1.5 T dedicated spiral breast MRI system (Aurora Systems, USA) [14][15][16][17]. The breasts were fitted and positioned using a breast transmission-receiving (TR) coil.…”

“…Sequences were performed before and after the infusion of 0.2 mmol/kg adolinium-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Magnevist; Bayer-Schering Pharma AG, Berlin, Germany), administered as a bolus dose with a power injector, followed by a 20-mL saline flush. Subtraction images were also performed [14][15][16][17].…”

Retrospective study of MRI images to examine the effects of estrogen supplementation on breast tissue: A pilot study in Asian Taiwan

“…Taiwanese breast cancer patients tend to be younger than their European or American counterparts [2]. In Taiwan, approximately 50% of clinically diagnosed cases of breast cancer occur in patients aged under 50 years.…”
