This mixed method study developed multiple question types to understand and measure women's perceived benefit from adjuvant endocrine therapy. We hypothesis that patients do not understand this benefit and sought...
Although most patients preferred a visual representation such as the iconograph or bar graph, a significant minority gave that question-type negative feedback and instead preferred a prose format that made the question personal by directly asking about their individual risk reduction.

Benign Breast Disease and Breast Cancer Risk in the Percutaneous Biopsy Era
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38091020/
In this contemporary cohort study of women diagnosed with BBD in the percutaneous biopsy era, overall risk of BC was increased vs the general population (DCIS and invasive cancer combined),...
In this cohort study including 4819 women with benign breast disease (BBD), breast cancer (BC) risk was increased significantly vs the general population. Increased foci of BBD lesions were associated with progressively increased BC risk, particularly for women with ≥3 atypical hyperplasia foci.
Researchers found that offering hyperbaric oxygen therapy to women with late local toxic effects was ineffective for reducing pain but was effective for reducing fibrosis.
