Abstract
Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent cancer among women worldwide. Although advances have been made in the identification of predictive biomarkers, current options for early diagnosis and prognostic analysis are still suboptimal. Recently, transfer-RNA-derived RNA fragments (tRFs) have emerged as a class of small noncoding RNAs that play a role in the cancer progression. The authors aimed to identify a specific class of tRFs as a molecular marker for BC diagnosis and prognosis in clinical management. Methods: The levels of 5'-tRF-His-GTG were quantified in BC tissue (n = 101) and inflammatory normal breast tissue (n = 22) using in situ hybridization. Clinicopathological parameters were obtained, including age, tumor node metastasis stage, hormone receptor status, histopathological grade, lymphovascular invasion, and recurrence. The correlation between the expression of 5'-tRF-His-GTG and these parameters in different BC subtypes was analyzed. Patient death and cancer progression were regarded as clinical endpoints in the survival analysis. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were also performed to predict the involvement in pivotal biological process. Results: The expression of 5'-tRF-His-GTG was significantly downregulated in BC tissues and was in connection with T stage in human epidermal growth factor 2-positive and basal-like BC, as well as N stage and histopathological grade in luminal BC. Patients with low expression of 5'-tRF-His-GTG had a poor overall survival rate. Statistics of GO and KEGG pathway revealed that cation channel activity, protein catabolic process, response to temperature stimulus, cell cycle, focal adhesion, and glycerophospholipid metabolism were significantly enriched. Conclusions: This study suggests that the assessment of 5'-tRF-His-GTG expression could serve as a novel biomarker for individual diagnosis and prognosis in BC.

Abstract
Alongside mammography, breast ultrasound is an important and well-established method in assessment of breast lesions. With the "Best Practice Guideline", the DEGUM Breast Ultrasound (in German, "Mammasonografie") working group, intends to describe the additional and optional application modalities for the diagnostic confirmation of breast findings and to express DEGUM recommendations in this Part II, in addition to the current dignity criteria and assessment categories published in Part I, in order to facilitate the differential diagnosis of ambiguous lesions.The present "Best Practice Guideline" has set itself the goal of meeting the requirements for quality assurance and ensuring quality-controlled performance of breast ultrasound. The most important aspects of quality assurance are explained in this Part II of the Best Practice Guideline.

Abstract
For many years, breast ultrasound has been used in addition to mammography as an important method for clarifying breast findings. However, differences in the interpretation of findings continue to be problematic 1 2. These differences decrease the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound after detection of a finding and complicate interdisciplinary communication and the comparison of scientific studies 3. In 1999, the American College of Radiology (ACR) created a working group (International Expert Working Group) that developed a classification system for ultrasound examinations based on the established BI-RADS classification of mammographic findings under consideration of literature data 4. Due to differences in content, the German Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (DEGUM) published its own BI-RADS-analogue criteria catalog in 2006 3. In addition to the persistence of differences in content, there is also an issue with formal licensing with the current 5th edition of the ACR BI-RADS catalog, even though the content is recognized by the DEGUM as another system for describing and documenting findings. The goal of the Best Practice Guideline of the Breast Ultrasound Working Group of the DEGUM is to provide colleagues specialized in senology with a current catalog of ultrasound criteria and assessment categories as well as best practice recommendations for the various ultrasound modalities.

Ultrasound Guided Core Breast Biopsies. Tech Vasc Interv Radiol 2021; 24:100776.

Abstract
Core needle biopsies are common procedures performed in breast imaging centers. Utilizing ultrasound guidance for biopsy of suspicious findings within the breast and axilla is the standard of care when lesions are visible on ultrasound. Most ultrasound guided breast biopsies are performed by radiologists interpreting breast imaging who correlate findings across modalities including mammography, ultrasound and breast MRI, however interventional radiologists may perform in some practice settings. Appropriate knowledge of complete breast imaging is important not only for localization, but for determining radiologic-pathologic concordance. Proper localization, technique, and post biopsy management are essential to the success of the procedure and providing proper care for patients. This article discusses indications, strategies for accurate targeting, how-to biopsy techniques, post biopsy considerations and radiologic-pathologic concordance incorporating recommendations from the American College of Radiology Practice Parameter for the Performance of Ultrasound-guided Percutaneous Breast Interventional procedures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The significance of performing multistep level sections, including preparation of unstained sections in breast and gynecologic biopsy specimens, has been studied. METHODS Consecutive H&E-stained level sections of 785 atypical and malignant biopsy specimens were included. The diagnostic material was categorized into present, absent, increased in size, or depleted. If the multistep level sections helped in establishing the diagnosis after a nondiagnostic material or the tissue significantly increased in size, this was considered a positive impact. RESULTS No effect and positive impact of performing multistep level sections were obtained in 84.8% and 15.2% by preparing a second level and 97.2% and 2.8% by preparing a third level, respectively. Eighteen (2.3%) of the diagnoses could have been missed without performing a second level, while 8 (1%) could have been missed without performing a third level. The intervening unstained sections were used in 27 of 785 (3.4%) of the cases. CONCLUSIONS Staining two level sections with H&E significantly affected the diagnosis. However, preparing a third level did not improve the diagnosis. A universal protocol should be considered to standardize the handling of biopsy specimens among laboratories.
