Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 3D Printing Special Interest Group (SIG) clinical situations for which 3D printing is considered an appropriate representation or extension of data contained in a medical imaging examination: breast conditions.

The use of medical 3D printing has expanded dramatically for breast diseases. A writing group composed of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Special Interest Group on 3D Printing (SIG) provides updated appropriateness criteria for breast 3D printing in various clinical scenarios. Evidence-based appropriateness criteria are provided for the following clinical scenarios: benign breast lesions and high-risk breast lesions, breast cancer, breast reconstruction, and breast radiation (treatment planning and radiation delivery)

Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 3D printing Special Interest Group (SIG): guidelines for medical 3D printing and appropriateness for clinical scenarios

Abstract Medical three-dimensional (3D) printing has expanded dramatically over the past three decades with growth in both facility adoption and the variety of medical applications. Consideration for each step required to create accurate 3D printed models from medical imaging data impacts patient care and management. In this paper, a writing group representing the Radiological Society of North America Special Interest Group on 3D Printing (SIG) provides recommendations that have been vetted and voted on by the SIG active membership. This body of work includes appropriate clinical use of anatomic models 3D printed for diagnostic use in the care of patients with specific medical conditions. The recommendations provide guidance for approaches and tools in medical 3D printing, from image acquisition, segmentation of the desired anatomy intended for 3D printing, creation of a 3D-printable model, and post-processing of 3D printed anatomic models for patient care.https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/146524/1/41205_2018_Article_30.pd

Prognostic Impact of High Baseline Stromal Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes in the Absence of Pathologic Complete Response in Early-Stage Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

High stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs) are associated with an improved pathologic complete response (pCR) and survival in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). We hypothesized that high baseline sTILs would have a favorable prognostic impact in TNBC patients without a pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). In this prospective NACT study, pretreatment biopsies from 318 patients with early-stage TNBC were evaluated for sTILs. Recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) was applied to search for the sTIL cutoff best associated with a pCR. With ≥20% sTILs identified as the optimal cutoff, 33% patients had high sTILs (pCR rate 64%) and 67% had low sTILs (pCR rate 29%). Patients were stratified according to the sTIL cutoff (low vs. high) and response to NACT (pCR vs. residual disease (RD)). The primary endpoint was event-free survival (EFS), with hazard ratios calculated using the Cox proportional hazards regression model and the 3-year restricted mean survival time (RMST) as primary measures. Within the high-sTIL group, EFS was better in patients with a pCR compared with those with RD (HR 0.05; 95% CI 0.01–0.39; p = 0.004). The difference in the 3-year RMST for EFS between the two groups was 5.6 months (95% CI 2.3–8.8; p = 0.001). However, among patients with RD, EFS was not significantly different between those with high sTILs and those with low sTILs (p = 0.7). RNA-seq analysis predicted more CD8+ T cells in the high-sTIL group with favorable EFS compared with the high-sTIL group with unfavorable EFS. This study did not demonstrate that high baseline sTILs confer a benefit in EFS in the absence of a pCR
