The Impact of Breast Cancer Screening on Sleep, Affect, and Immune Functioning
… been made over the past several decades in terms of diagnosis and treatment, breast cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer in American women and the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality for women in the United States. Although the benefits of early detection of breast cancer …

Combined Microwave, Ultrasound and Strain Imaging for Breast Tissue Characterization
Today, breast cancer continues to be one of the most common cancers among women. Early detection of breast cancer can provide patients with the best chance of survival. Imaging methods are routinely used to scan for breast abnormalities, which may include X-Ray mammography, MRI, and ultrasound. The …

Oncoproteomic applications for detection of breast cancer. Proteomic profiling of breast cancer models and biopsies
The heterogeneity of breast cancer (disease stage and phenotype) makes it challenging to differentiate between each subtype; luminal A, luminal B, HER2, basal-like and claudin-low, on the basis of a single gene or protein. Therefore, a collection of markers is required that can serve as a signature …
