Not necessarily. Microcalcifications can be due to cancer, but they can also appear in some benign - that is - non cancerous - conditions, and many women with microcalcifications do not have breast ...

Each year, millions of women undergo mammography to screen for breast cancer, yet tiny calcium specks—known as microcalcifications—often evade detection or are misread, leading to delayed diagnoses or ...

An 83-year-old woman with multiple breast lesions was admitted to the hospital. Histology revealed a tumour with a solid and discreetly trabecular architecture, without calcifications or ...

Each year, millions of women undergo mammography to screen for breast cancer, yet tiny calcium specks—known as microcalcifications—often evade detection or are misread, leading to delayed diagnoses or ...

Figure 1: Results of microcalcification detection experiments. (a) A benign example of calcification. The green boxes represent benign lesions. ‘GT’ refers to the gold standard label given by the ...

The authors have strengthened their conclusions by providing additional information about the specificity of their antibodies, but at the same time the authors have revealed concerning information ...

This valuable study reports the link between a disruption in testicular mineral (phosphate) homeostasis, FGF23 expression, and Sertoli cell dysfunction. The data supporting the conclusion are solid.

Abstract: Microcalcifications are tiny calcium accumulations in the breast and are a warning sign of possible breast carcinoma in the early stages of its formation, so it is highly important for ...

Abstract: Breast microcalcifications are an important primary radiological indicator of breast cancer. However, microcalcification classification and diagnosis may be still challenging for ...

An interdisciplinary collaboration 10 years in the making used a materials science approach to 'fingerprint' the calcium mineral deposits known as microcalcifications that reveal pathological clues to ...
