Abstract
BACKGROUND Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is often reclassified as invasive cancer in the final pathology report of the surgical specimen. It is of significant clinical relevance to acknowledge the possibility of underestimating invasive disease when utilizing preoperative biopsies for a DCIS diagnosis. In cases where such histologic upgrades occur, it is imperative to consider them in the preoperative planning process, including the potential inclusion of sentinel lymph node biopsy due to the risk of axillary lymph node metastasis. PURPOSE To assess the capability of breast multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MP-MRI) in differentiating between pure DCIS and microinvasive carcinoma (MIC). MATERIAL AND METHODS Between January 2018 and November 2022, this retrospective study enrolled patients with biopsy-proven DCIS who had undergone preoperative breast MP-MRI. We assessed various MP-MRI features, including size, morphology, margins, internal enhancement pattern, extent of disease, presence of peritumoral edema, time-intensity curve value, diffusion restriction, and ADC value. Subsequently, a logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the association of these features with the pathological outcome. RESULTS Of 129 patients with biopsy-proven DCIS, 36 had foci of micro-infiltration on surgical specimens and eight were diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). The presence of micro-infiltration foci was significantly associated with several MP-MRI features, including tumor size (P <0.001), clustered ring enhancement (P <0.001), segmental distribution (P <0.001), diffusion restriction (P = 0.005), and ADC values <1.3 × 10-3 mm2/s (P = 0.004). CONCLUSION Breast MP-MRI has the potential to predict the presence of micro-infiltration foci in biopsy-proven DCIS and may serve as a valuable tool for guiding therapeutic planning.

Abstract
In female mammals, the development and regulation of the reproductive system and non-reproductive system are significantly influenced by estrogens (oestrogens). In addition, lipid metabolism is another physiological role of estrogens. Estrogens act through different types of receptors to introduce signals to the target cell by affecting many estrogen response elements. Breast cancer is considered mostly a hormone-dependent disease. Approximately 70% of breast cancers express progesterone receptors and/or estrogen receptors, and they are a good marker for cancer prognosis. This review will discuss estrogen metabolism and the interaction of estrogen metabolites with breast cancer. The carcinogenic role of estrogen is discussed in light of both conventional and atypical cancers susceptible to hormones, such as prostate, endometrial, and lung cancer, as we examine how estrogen contributes to the formation and activation of breast cancer. In addition, this review will discuss other factors that can be associated with estrogen-driven breast cancer.

When is Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy Useful in Ductal Carcinoma In Situ? The Experience at a Latin American Cancer Center. Cureus 2021; 13:e16134.

Abstract
Introduction Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) accounts for 15% of breast cancers. Surgery is the main treatment, and the use of sentinel node biopsy (SLNB) is restricted to patients at risk of infiltration, which is estimated to be around 26%. Materials and methods Aimed at evaluating the benefit of SLNB in patients with DCIS at the Breast and Soft Tissue Functional Unit of the National Cancer Institute (INC for its initials in Spanish), a descriptive observational study of a retrospective cases series was conducted between August 1, 2013, and September 30, 2018. Results A total of 40 patients with a median age of 57 years were included in the study; 62.5% of them underwent mastectomy with SLNB, and the remaining 37.5% underwent conservative surgery with SLNB. 100% of sentinel nodes were identified, by using lymphoscintigraphy in 95%. Sentinel node was positive in four patients (10%), three of whom had infiltration in the surgical specimen reported. With a follow-up of 49 months, only one patient had a local relapse. None of the patients had axillary or distant recurrence. Conclusions SLNB in DCIS should be limited to patients with risk factors for infiltration (tumor size greater than 3 cm, comedo-type histology, and high-grade DCIS), and patients with an indication for mastectomy. Its percentage of complications is low, and a high identification percentage in surgical groups with adequate training.
