Breast cancer diagnosis based on lipid profiling by probe electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
Probe electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PESI-MS) is an ambient ionization-based mass spectrometry method that surpasses the original electrospray ionization technique in features such as the rapidity of analysis, simplicity of the equipment and procedure, and lower cost. This study found that the PESI-MS system with machine learning has the potential to establish a lipid-based diagnosis of breast cancer with higher accuracy, using a simpler approach. Rapid mass spectrometry for breast cancer.

The impact of number of node metastases versus metastatic lymph node ratio versus AJCC node category on biochemical cure in medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is not well defined. ⋯ Number of lymph node metastases, unlike metastatic lymph node ratio or AJCC node category, determines likelihood of biochemical cure after initial and repeat surgery for node-positive MTC.
