Dermoscopy has been documented to increase the diagnostic accuracy of clinicians evaluating skin tumours, improving their ability to detect skin cancer and better recognize benign moles. However, dermoscopically 'false-positive' and 'false-negative' tumours do exist. False-positive diagnosis usually
With the introduction of transbronchial brushings and fine needle aspiration biopsy, which enable us to obtain samples directly from lesions, the diagnostic potential of cytology for the detection of malignancy, including early cancer, has been greatly enhanced. From 1976 to 1982, five positive
Differential diagnosis NETs may be highly challenging. In order to exclude conditions that may mimic a neuroendocrine neoplasms, a deep knowledge of all the aspects of the disease, together with an adequate capacity to interpret clinical data and imaging findings and to put them in right
We reviewed lymph node samples from 473 consecutive breast cancer cases with either negative sentinel nodes or isolated tumor cells to evaluate the rate of false-positive sentinel node findings. Nuclear morphometry was applied to compare nuclear atypia between the primary tumor and metastases
The use of the new cytostatics for prophylactic therapy of superficial bladder tumor recurrence has been associated with fibrino-necrotic ulcers and eosinophilic cystitis. We underscore the problems in making the differential diagnosis which sometimes present with true tumor necrosis. We describe
The implementation of a number of chemical carcinogen screening programs has been accompanied by the observation that some screens might have high false-positive error rates. With designs presently used at the National Cancer Institute and historical spontaneous tumor rates based upon control
BACKGROUND
A recent attempt to estimate the false-positive rate for cancer epidemiology studies is based on agents in International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) category 3 (agent not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans) in the IARC Monographs Program.
METHODS
The estimation
To assess the morbidity associated with false alarms of breast cancer, 2923 consecutive consultations for a breast disorder were reviewed. 391 women had breast cancer, which was found by accidental discovery in 57%, by breast self-examination in 15%, by routine physical examination in 24%, and by
