Patients with depression only in the prediagnosis period less likely to receive guideline-recommended treatment, have worse survival

Estimated five-year cumulative incidence of local recurrence 3.1 percent for women undergoing BCT and adjuvant radiation

Responses were graded by fellowship-trained breast radiologists

Ultrasound sensitivity and specificity were 98.5 and 90.8 percent among women aged 30 years or older with focal breast complaints

Increased relative risks noted for current or recent use of oral, injected, implanted, IUD progestogen-only contraceptives

Risk reduction surgeries before age 50 years substantially cut later cancer risk for those with genetic risk

Even within a racial/ethnic group, state-specific variation was substantial

Risk for recurrence was highest and occurred earliest for ER-negative/PR-negative/Her2neu-negative tumors

Further, the choice of cutoff used to define high risk also changes individual-level recommendations

Prevalence of colorectal cancer screening remained unchanged with increase in stool testing offsetting decrease in colonoscopy
