Excerpt

Magnification views are routinely used for the assessment of breast calcification. Computerised radiography may eliminate the need for magnification views as such images can be magnified on the computer console. This study evaluates the additional information gained from computerised magnification views in the mammographic workup of 100 women presenting with calcification on screening or follow-up mammography. The ability of our Fuji computerised radiography with General Electric's PACS equipment to display standard mammographic test tools (TORMAS and TORMAM) is also evaluated. …

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.
