Use of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging for invasive lobular cancer: good, better, but maybe not the best?
For ILC, MRI has better sensitivity of detection and correlation with tumor size at pathology than CBE, mammography, or ultrasound. However, 31% of cases are overestimated by MRI, and correlation remains only at 0.75. The select use of MRI for preoperative estimation of tumor size in ILC is supported by our data, but the need for improvement and refinement of imaging remains.
The response of hASMC to NEFA could induce extracellular matrix alterations favoring apoB lipoprotein deposition and atherogenesis.
