When looking at specifically at disease diagnosed early localized stages, the 5-year relative survival rate increase to over 99% - which is why it is so important for you to do your self-checks, and go to see your GP the moment you notice any abnormalities!

Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Presenting in a Postpartum Patient: A Case Report - PMC Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare cancer found in women with breast implants, occurring approximately eight years after their placement. Since the initial case report of BIA-ALCL in 1997, over 700 cases ...

Let's talk about Boob Jobs in today's #boobfacts - Breast implants are not connected or related to increasing risk of developing breast cancer. However, there is a correlation between textured implants & an increased risk of developing a rare type of lymphoma.

In today's Installment of #boobfacts ,it's about time we talked about Tamoxifen - the most well-known breast cancer treatment in the world. Did you know that Tamoxifen first started off as a contraceptive pill?

So we've previously spoken about Supernumerary (read: extra) breasts - but do you know that the opposite - Amastia (Complete lack of breast tissue) and Athelia (laco of areola / nipples) can happen to?

Biomechanical Behavior of Female Breast—A Review Introduction: Women wear exterior breast support for most of the day. A female’s breast tissue and skin affect the comfort of the ADLs, exercise, health, and work environments. Understanding the breast tissue’s normal anatomy and mechanical and material properties is related to a woman’s daily health and quality of life outcomes. Considering the importance and impact of female breasts throughout one’s lifespan, additional research is needed to address the research gaps to provide solutions to improve daily lives and clinical interventions. Breast stability and behavior are dependent on its internal mechanical properties and applied external forces. Objective: To evaluate the current knowledge and research gaps on the adult female breast tissue’s anatomy, the factors that impact its growth and development, variations among racial populations, the internal and external mechanical properties of the tissue, and the factors employed to evaluate the pathology risk. Review sections: The review sections are as follows: 3. Anatomy of Breast, 4. Effects of Age and Stages of Breast Development, 5. Breast Skin, and 6. Breast Tissue Mechanics. Conclusions: Numerous research gaps have been identified within the field of female breasts.

A 2024 review found that, despite the many studies , there were still huge gaps in our understanding of how breat tissues respond to forces and how these physical properties can play a role in disease and imaging. TLDR - We STILL don't know how boobies work .

In today's installment of #boobfacts - Did you know boobs are made up of a combination of fat, glandular tissue, and connective tissue? Even if 2 people have the same size boobs, they could be made up of completely different rations of the 3 components!

For today's #boobfacts - other than size, the density of your boobs could be an indicator of your risk of developing breast cancer. TLDR - The denser your breast tissue for your age, the higher your risk.

History of Mammography: Analysis of Breast Imaging Diagnostic Achievements over the Last Century Breast cancer is the most common forms of cancer and a leading cause of mortality in women. Early and correct diagnosis is, therefore, essential to save lives. The development of diagnostic imaging applied to the breast has been impressive in recent years and the most used diagnostic test in the world is mammography, a low-dose X-ray technique used for imaging the breast. In the first half of the 20th century, the diagnosis was in practice only clinical, with consequent diagnostic delay and an unfavorable prognosis in the short term. The rise of organized mammography screening has led to a remarkable reduction in mortality through the early detection of breast malignancies. This historical review aims to offer a complete panorama of the development of mammography and breast imaging during the last century. Through this study, we want to understand the foundations of the pillar of radiology applied to the breast through to the most modern applications such as contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), artificial intelligence, and radiomics. Understanding the history of the development of diagnostic imaging applied to the breast can help us understand how to better direct our efforts toward an increasingly personalized and effective diagnostic approach. The ultimate goal of imaging applied to the detection of breast malignancies should be to reduce mortality from this type of disease as much as possible. With this paper, we want to provide detailed documentation of the main steps in the evolution of breast imaging for the diagnosis of breast neoplasms; we also want to open up new scenarios where the possible current and future applications of imaging are aimed at being more precise and personalized.

The first Mammographies (3000 of them!) were performed in 1913 by German Surgeon Albert Solomon, and his findings were published in a paper, demonstrating the existence of different types of breast cancerzs and their spread.
