Diagnosis Of Triple Negative Breast Cancer (Tnbc) Using Mammography, Sarah Mihalka
Diagnosis Of Triple Negative Breast Cancer (Tnbc) Using Mammography, Sarah Mihalka
Medical Imaging Senior Posters
Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is a malignant, aggressive cancer that can affect men or women. Mammography is very helpful in diagnosing this type of cancer. The only option at this time for treatment for TNBC is cytotoxic chemotherapy. There is research being conducted to obtain more treatment options for patients. This is proving to be difficult because TNBC is negative for all hormone receptors. On a mammogram, this cancer may present as a lobulated mass with or without calcifications. This comes as a surprise because most masses present on a mammogram tend to be spiculated. This proves for an …

Abstract
This research is a case study of a 34-year-old patient that presented with a right breast lump measuring 1.9cm found to have invasive mammary carcinoma. Diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound were followed by ultrasound guided breast biopsy to make the diagnosis.
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in women between the ages of 15-39 inthe United States. Annual mammograms are recommended to begin at age 40, therefore younger women often do not have mammograms or breast ultrasounds unless they have symptoms. As a result, younger …

Percutaneous Renal Cryoablation, Shauna M. Aiena
Medical Imaging Senior Posters
This research topic discusses how safe and effective the use of cryoablation is to treat a renal tumor. Cryoablation is a procedure performed in the Interventional Radiology department to kill cancer cells using very cold temperatures. This procedure is done when the patient cannot have surgery to remove the tumor itself. Although the tumor is not removed during cryoablation, the treatment is performed to freeze the tumor to prohibit growth while releasing antigens from the tumor which triggers an immune response. To see if cryoablation is as effective as some say, a qualitative study was conducted which used 174 renal …

Low-Dose Computed Tomography & Lung Cancer Screening, Brandon Kessler
Medical Imaging Senior Posters
Lung cancer is the most common cancer in the world, and could have devastating effects to one’s health if not caught early enough. In order to combat this, the implementation of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer screenings can be used to help detect the cancer early. Questionnaires are used in order to determine if people are high-risk for developing lung cancer and qualify for this scan. Physicians have been reported to believe in these screenings and feel they help improve survival rates and early diagnosis of lung cancer.
