Excerpt

Flat epithelial atypia (FEA) is seen with increasing frequency following biopsy of calcification detected through screening. FEA is often associated with more significant lesions including atypical ductal hyperplasia and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). It is postulated that FEA may even represent the earliest morphological manifestation of DCIS and a precursor to invasive carcinoma. However, the significance of pure FEA still remains unclear. We aim to review the radiological and pathological features of FEA and evaluate the significance of FEA on needle core biopsy. …

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on antibody–drug conjugates in cancer

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel agents that have shown promise across multiple tumor types. Explore the current landscape of ADCs in breast and lung cancer with our experts, and gain insights into the mechanism of action, key clinical trials data, existing challenges, and future directions.
