Loss of Mammographic Tissue Homeostasis in Invasive Lobular and Ductal Breast Carcinomas vs. Benign Lesions
The 2D wavelet transform modulus maxima (WTMM) method is used to perform a comparison of the spatial fluctuations of mammographic breast tissue from patients with invasive lobular carcinoma, those with invasive ductal carcinoma, and those with benign lesions. We follow a procedure developed and vali...

description | The 2D wavelet transform modulus maxima (WTMM) method is used to perform a comparison of the spatial fluctuations of mammographic breast tissue from patients with invasive lobular carcinoma, those with invasive ductal carcinoma, and those with benign lesions. We follow a procedure developed and validated in a previous study, in which a sliding window protocol is used to analyze thousands of small subregions in a given mammogram. These subregions are categorized according to their Hurst exponent values (H): fatty tissue (H ≤ 0.45), dense tissue (H ≥ 0.55), and disrupted tissue potentially linked with tumor-associated loss of homeostasis (0.45 < H < 0.55). Following this categorization scheme, we compare the mammographic tissue composition of the breasts. First, we show that cancerous breasts are significantly different than breasts with a benign lesion (p-value ∼ 0.002). Second, the asymmetry between a patient’s cancerous breast and its contralateral counterpart, when compared to the asymmetry from patients with benign lesions, is also statistically significant (p-value ∼ 0.006). And finally, we show that lobular and ductal cancerous breasts show similar levels of disruption and similar levels of asymmetry. This study demonstrates reproducibility of the WTMM sliding-window approach to help detect and characterize tumor-associated breast tissue disruption from standard mammography. It also shows promise to help with the detection lobular lesions that typically go undetected via standard screening mammography at a much higher rate than ductal lesions. Here both types are assessed similarly. |
