Abstract:

Ces travaux de thèse sont motivés par le développement de techniques d’imagerie alternatives pour le diagnostic précoce du cancer du sein. Parmi celles-ci, l’imagerie photoacoustique couple potentiellement les avantages de deux modalités d’imagerie non-invasives, à savoir la quantification de contrastes physiologiques du fait de l’excitation optique et la haute résolution du fait d’un sondage acoustique.Le but de ces travaux est de proposer une modélisation multiondes du phénomène photoacoustique, et d’incorporer ce modèle dans un algorithme de reconstruction efficace pour résoudre le problème

Abstract:

Microwave imaging has been proposed as a possible complimentary imaging technique to X-ray mammography for early-stage breast cancer detection and screening. Based on the intrinsic differences in the various tissues of the breast at microwave frequencies, microwave imaging offers an imaging modality that is safe, pain-free, and without limitations on the frequency of the exam.An initial time domain microwave imaging system has been previously developed within our group. Accurate numerical models, for finite-difference time-domain simulations, matched to the experimental system have been develo

Les cancers du sein peuvent être classifiés selon le statut de récepteur d’estrogène (RE), de récepteur de progestérone (RP), de récepteur HER2, ou selon quatre sous-types (Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2-enrichi, Triple-négatif) ayant des propriétés biologiques et cliniques différentes. La sensibilité du dépistage par mammographie pourrait varier selon ces types de cancers mais ceci n’est pas encore clair. L’agressivité de la tumeur, mesurée par le grade histologique pourrait expliquer cette association. Les types de cancers d’intervalle ont été comparés à ceux de cancers détectés par dépistage pa

The aim of this thesis is to carry out an in-depth study of various aspects of breast cancer epidemiology. Firstly, we have confirmed that DCIS incidence in Girona has increased over recent decades. Proportions of screen-detected cancers, interval cancers and non-screen-detected cancers during the start-up phase of the mammographic screening programme were found to be 42.2%, 5.8% and 52.2%, respectively. Secondly, we have found that luminal A-like was the most frequent subtype associated with the best survival rate, while triple-negative breast cancer was related to the lowest survival rate. I

Abstract:

X-ray mammography is the imaging modality of choice in screening to detect breast cancer in its early stages. In recent years, film-screen systems have been replaced by various digital mammography technologies as these can deliver better performance than conventional film-screen technology. However, it remains unclear how the physical performance of such systems and the choice of their operating parameters is correlated with the ,ability to detect early breast cancer. While clinical trials are used to address this issue, they have many associated limitations such as unethical extra exposure, t

Abstract:

In the US, breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer and the most lethal. There are many decisions that must be made by the doctor and/or the patient when dealing with a potential breast cancer. Many of these decisions are made under uncertainty, whether it is the uncertainty related to the progression of the patient's health, or that related to the accuracy of the doctor's tests. Each possible action under consideration can have positive effects, such as a surgery successfully removing a tumour, and negative effects: a post-surgery infection for example.

Abstract:

The introduction of screening mammography in Australia has been associated with an increase in the incidence of early-stage breast cancer. Concern is growing about the problems caused when women are diagnosed with breast cancer and undergo treatments that do not benefit them because their cancer would not progress, or would progress, but would not become symptomatic within the remaining lifetime of the patient. This is known as overdiagnosis. Screening mammography aims to decrease breast cancer morbidity and mortality by advancing in time the diagnosis and thereby increasing the chance of succ

Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among women globally and screening by mammography plays a crucial role in detecting cancer. However, screening target ages may differ between countries. For example, the target group is 50-74 years in Australia and 40+ years in Japan, reflecting differences in age-specific incidence rates (ASIR). Breast cancer risk is related to the volume of mammographic breast density (MBD), which has been found to differ among ethnic groups, hence impacting on national screening policies.

Problem: There is a lack of knowledge about women who are screened for breast cancer, have an abnormal finding on mammogram, and then do not return in a timely manner for diagnostics and treatment.
