Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against specific...

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Accurate targeting of suspicious breast lesions, including microcalcifications, is essential for successful biopsy and diagnosis.
    • Stereotactic breast biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure used for sampling non-palpable lesions identified on mammography.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To detail the techniques and considerations for successfully targeting small lesions and microcalcifications during stereotactic breast biopsy.
    • To provide an overview of imaging systems, biopsy devices, and procedural steps involved in stereotactic targeting.

    Main Methods:

    • Discussion of stereotactic imaging principles and coordinate systems for lesion localization.
    • Description of various biopsy devices and patient positioning strategies for comfort and accuracy.
    • Explanation of how stereotactic imaging guides the biopsy needle to the target lesion.

    Main Results:

    • Successful stereotactic breast biopsy is defined by concordance between imaging findings, biopsy results, and pathology.
    • Effective targeting ensures adequate tissue sampling of the suspicious area.
    • Team collaboration is vital for achieving successful biopsy outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Mastery of stereotactic imaging and biopsy techniques is critical for accurate breast lesion sampling.
    • Attention to detail in lesion localization, device selection, and patient positioning enhances biopsy success rates.
    • A multidisciplinary approach ensures optimal diagnostic yield in stereotactic breast biopsy procedures.
