bookPart Carcinoma de mama: diagnóstico(2016) MENDES, Daniele Carvalho Calvano; CHALA, Luciano Fernandes; BARROS, Nestor de; FILASSI, Jose Roberto- Usefulness of Radio Frequency Identification Device in Diagnosing Rotation of Motiva SmoothSilk Implants after Augmentation Mammoplasty(2019) MUNHOZ, Alexandre Mendonca; CHALA, Luciano; MELO, Giselle Guedes de; MARQUES FILHO, Ary de Azevedo; TUCUNDUVA, Tatiana; GEMPERLI, RolfBreast implant displacement has been described as a significant risk following augmentation mammoplasty. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the method of choice for diagnosing implant complications, but it has its limits in assessing correct implant position and displacement. Motiva SmoothSilk/SilkSurface (R) Implants (MSS) are the first to incorporate a radio frequency identification device (RFID), which produces an imaging artifact in MRI sequences. Given the frequency of breast augmentation procedures and the recent US Food and Drug Administration prospective trial involving SS with RFID, further analysis of implant stability and diagnostic imaging methods to evaluate implant positioning is necessary. The objective of this study was to assess the use of MRI with this new RFID-containing implant as a new tool to assess correct implant positioning. The authors performed this technique in 5 patients (10 implants) undergoing primary breast augmentation or revision surgery with MSS implants (255-385 cc, mean = 325 cc). The average area and volume of the artifact were 15.7 cm(2) and 31.75 cm(3), respectively. All cases presented satisfactory results, with 1 case of implant displacement. Our clinical and radiological outcome demonstrated that RFID technology is a useful tool for correct visualization of the implant position and diagnosis of complications such as slight displacements or rotation. To our knowledge, this is the first RFID breast implant that has been objectively evaluated for MRI issues.

We included 74 patients (75 axillae) with invasive breast cancer who underwent axillary ultrasonography ipsilateral to the tumor and fine-needle aspiration of one selected lymph node. Lymph node pathology results from sentinel lymph node biopsy or surgical dissection were correlated with lymph node ultrasonographic data and with the cytologic findings of fine-needle aspiration. Our mathematical model of prediction risk of lymph node metastasis included only pre-surgical data from logistic regression analysis: lymph node cortical thickness (p = 0.005), presurgical tumor size (p = 0.030), menopausal status (p = 0.017), histologic type (p = 0.034) and tumor location (p = 0.011). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the model was 0.848, reflecting an excellent discrimination of the model. This nomogram may assist in the choice of the optimal axillary approach. (E-mail: pakissue@gmail.com) (C) 2017 World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology.
- Can Doppler or contrast-enhanced ultrasound analysis add diagnostically important information about the nature of breast lesions?(2014) STANZANI, Daniela; CHALA, Luciano F.; BARROS, Nestor de; CERRI, Giovanni G.; CHAMMAS, Maria CristinaOBJECTIVES: Despite evidence suggesting that Doppler ultrasonography can help to differentiate between benign and malignant breast lesions, it is rarely applied in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to determine whether certain vascular features of breast masses observed by duplex Doppler and color Doppler ultrasonography (before and/or after microbubble contrast injection) add information to the gray-scale analysis and support the Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) classification. METHODS: Seventy solid lesions were prospectively evaluated with gray-scale ultrasonography, color Doppler ultrasonography, and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. The morphological analysis and lesion vascularity were correlated with the histological results. RESULTS: Percutaneous core biopsies revealed that 25/70 (17.5%) lesions were malignant, while 45 were benign. Hypervascular lesions with tortuous and central vessels, a resistive index (RI)> 0.73 before contrast injection, and an RI > 0.75 after contrast injection were significantly predictive of malignancy (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The combination of gray-scale ultrasonography data with unenhanced or enhanced duplex Doppler and color Doppler US data can provide diagnostically useful information. These techniques can be easily implemented because Doppler devices are already present in most health centers.
- Papillomas of the breast: factors associated with underestimation(2018) BOUFELLI, Gabriela; GIANNOTTI, Marcelo A.; RUIZ, Carlos A.; BARROS, Nestor de; CHALA, Luciano E.; MAESAKA, Jonathan Y.; GONCALVES, Rodrigo; BRESCIANI, Barbara H.; VIANNA, Paula; SOARES JR., Jose. M.; BARACAT, Edmund C.; FILASSI, Jose. R.The distinction between benign and malignant papilloma of the breast through percutaneous needle biopsy can be difficult because of limited samples; the underestimation rate can be up to 25%. The aim of this study is to identify clinical and histological factors associated with underestimation, invasive ductal carcinoma, or ductal in-situ carcinoma (DCIS) of the breast found in surgical specimens from papillary lesions. This may contribute toward selection of patients for a follow-up strategy without the need for surgical excision. From a database of 3563 patients, we identified 85 with intraductal papilloma between 2007 and 2013 who had undergone breast-imaging studies, percutaneous needle biopsy, and surgical resection of the lesion. Central papillomas normally present with a palpable mass, whereas peripheral papillomas generally do not have clinical manifestations (microcalcifications); both central and peripheral papillomas were related to atypical lesions, 13.5 and 15.4%, respectively. Among the 59 cases of central papillomas, there were four cases of underestimation, three DCIS and one invasive ductal carcinoma (6.8%). Among the 26 cases of peripheral papillomas, there was one case of DCIS (3.8%), with a total underestimation rate of 5.8%; all underestimated lesions measured more than 1cm. The median size was 11mm at mammography and 19mm at ultrasound. Our data suggest that lesions less than 1cm in size, without atypia and concordant imaging and clinical findings, may not require surgical resection.
bookPart Métodos radiológicos(2013) COSTA, Daniel Nóbrega da Costa; PINHO, Marco da Cunha; GARCIA, Marcio Ricardo Taveira; BEZERRA, Regis Otaviano França; GARCIA, Rodrigo Gobbo; JULIO, Thiago; SUGUINO, Silvio; MARCELINO, Antônio Sergio Zafred; CHALA, Luciano Fernandes; BARROS, Nestor de; MENEZES, Marcos Roberto de; CERRI, Giovanni Guido- MRI to Predict Nipple Involvement in Breast Cancer Patients(2016) PIATO, Jose Roberto Morales; ANDRADE, Roberta Dantas Jales Alves de; CHALA, Luciano Fernandes; BARROS, Nestor de; MANO, Max Senna; MELITTO, Alexandre Santos; GONCALVES, Rodrigo; SOARES JUNIOR, Jose Maria; BARACAT, Edmund Chada; FILASSI, Jose RobertoOBJECTIVE. The selection of breast cancer patients as candidates for nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is dependent on the preoperative detection of neoplastic involvement of the nipple-areola complex (NAC). This cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate the accuracy of preoperative breast MRI as a noninvasive method to predict neoplastic involvement of the nipple. MATERIALS AND METHODS. We included 165 female breast cancer patients with a surgical plan that included total mastectomy or breast conservation surgery with the removal of the NAC. All patients underwent MRI before surgery on a 1.5-T unit with a 4-channel in vivo dedicated surface breast coil. One radiologist who was blinded to the results of the histologic evaluations of the specimens evaluated the MRI studies. RESULTS. Of the 170 mastectomy specimens evaluated, 37 (21.8%) had neoplastic involvement of the NAC. The MRI findings of enhancement between the index lesion and the NAC and of nipple retraction were considered statistically significant predictors of nipple involvement in breast cancer patients (p < 0.01 and p = 0.01, respectively). The negative predictive value of the combination of these MRI findings was 83.3%. CONCLUSION. Breast MRI is a safe noninvasive method to preoperatively evaluate breast cancer patients eligible for NSM with a high specificity and a high negative predictive value when enhancement between the index lesion and the nipple and nipple retraction are analyzed.
