Most studies have been concerned with the experiences and needs of women with breast cancer and spouses/partners separately. In this review, the relationship dynamics that characterize the couple’s experience of breast cancer treatment were investigated. Findings will inform both researchers and professionals in the area of oncology. A systematic literature search was performed in CINAHL, PsychINFO, MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science. A checklist for qualitative and observational studies was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the studies. Seventeen studies were included, and the synthesis of the literature revealed five domains that characterized the dyadic process: dyadic coping strategies, psychosocial support, communication, the couple’s sexual life and spirituality. The included studies provide the basis for knowledge and awareness about the experience of couples with cancer, the specific dimensions enacted during the breast cancer treatment path and the type of responses that are associated with a positive couple’s adjustment to the disease.

“…With the wide application of high-resolution CT and the established role of low-dose helical computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer, pulmonary lesions are increasingly detected (1,2). Image-guided biopsy is still required for lesions that cannot be determined by CT or malignant lesions diagnosed by CT need to be clarified histopathologically or genetic types before radiotherapy or chemotherapy (3)(4)(5).…”

Background: To investigate puncture skills and complications prevention in ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle biopsy for peripheral lung lesions. Methods: Ninety-two peripheral lung lesions in 92 patients, detected via computed tomography (CT) and also visible on ultrasound, were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent percutaneous peripheral lung lesion needle biopsy under traditional ultrasound or contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) guidance paying attention to avoiding necrotic areas and large blood vessels. All the specimens were examined histopathologically. Preprocedure all 92 lesions were performed by traditional ultrasonography to evaluate the size, the echogenecity, liquefaction areas and blood flow on color Doppler imaging, some of which were performed by CEUS for evaluating non-enhanced necrosis areas, contrast agent arrival time (AT) and characteristics of blood perfusion. Results: The histopathologic results of all 92 lesions were as follows: 67 malignant tumors (including 28 adenocarcinomas, 19 squamous cell carcinomas, 6 bronchoalveolar carcinomas, 5 small cell carcinomas, 5 metastatic cancers, 3 poorly differentiated cancers and 1 malignant mesothelioma), 20 benign lesions (including 9 pneumonia, 6 inflammatory pseudotumors and 5 tuberculomas), 5 undetermined lesions. Of 52 lesions by CEUS guidance, 7 lesions showed enhancement in the pulmonary arterial-phase (including 6 pneumonia and 1 malignant tumors), 45 lesions showed enhancement in the bronchial artery phase (including 37 malignant tumors, 3 inflammatory pseudotumors, 4 tuberculomas and 1 undetermined lesion).According to needle insertion angle along linear path, a total of 92 lesions were divided into two groups, 49 lesions at an angle of 70°-80° needle insertion and 43 lesions at an angle of 80°-90° needle insertion. In the study, linear and non-linear two puncture paths were used, we first tried to puncture along linear path in all lesions, if an attempt to insert into the lesions failed due to be blocked by the ribs and then changed to puncture along non-linear path instead. The success rate of biopsy procedure along linear puncture was significantly higher at an angle of 80°-90°group (93.0% vs. 20.4%, P<0.01), and the adoption rate of nonlinear path biopsy for solving the puncture needle blocked by the ribs was significantly higher at angle of 70°-80°group ( 79.6% vs. 7.0%, P<0.01). Of 52 lesions by CEUS guidance, 27 (51.9%) showed non enhanced necrosis areas on CEUS, only 5 showed liquefaction necrosis areas on gray-scale ultrasound. Of 40 lesions by traditional ultrasound guidance, 4 showed necrosis areas on gray-scale ultrasound. There were no significant differences in lesion size, the average number of biopsy attempts and complication rates between CEUS guidance group and traditional ultrasound guidance group (P>0.05), the pathological confirmation rate in CEUS guidance group was higher than that in traditional ultrasound guidance group, but without significant difference (98.1% vs. 90.0%, P>0.05). Of all 92 cases, 3 c...

“…It has the highest rate of incidence and mortality in China (2). Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is the most widely used modality for early lung cancer detection and mortality reduction (3,4). Research has shown that among LDCT screening participants, the prevalence of small solid pulmonary nodules (SSPNs) was higher than that of non-solid nodules (NSNs) and part-solid nodules (PSNs), while other studies have demonstrated that malignancy is most frequently detected in SSPNs larger than 6 mm (5,6).…”

Background: It is a permanent challenge to differentiate small solid lung nodules. Massive data, extracted from medical image through radiomics analysis, may help early diagnosis of lung cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of a quantitative radiomic model developed from baseline low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening for the purpose of predicting malignancy in small solid pulmonary nodules (SSPNs). Methods: This retrospective study included malignant and benign SSPNs (6 to 15 mm) detected in baseline low-dose CT screening. The malignancy was confirmed pathologically, and benignity was confirmed by long term follow-up or pathological diagnosis. The non-contrast CT images were reconstructed with a lung kernel of a slice thickness of 1 mm and were processed to extract 385 quantitative radiomic features using Analysis-Kinetic software. A predictive model was established with the training set of 156 benign and 40 malignant nodules, and was tested with the validation set of 77 benign and 21 malignant nodules through the analysis of R square. The performance of the radiomic model in predicting malignancy was compared with that of the ACR Lung Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR lung-RADS). Results: In 294 cases of SSPNs, 61 lung cancers and 24 benign nodules were confirmed pathologically and the remaining 209 nodules were stable with long-term follow-up (4.1±0.9 years). Eleven non-redundant features, including 8 high-order texture features, were extracted from the training data set. The sensitivity and specificity of the prediction model in malignancy differentiation were 81.0% and 92.2% respectively. The accuracy was superior to ACR-lung RADS (89.8% vs. 76.5%). Conclusions: A radiomic model based on baseline low-dose CT screening for lung cancer can improve the accuracy in predicting malignancy of SSPNs.
