A BI-RADS classification of 4 or 5 warrants biopsy to further evaluate the offending lesion. [3] Some experts believe that the single BI-RADS 4 classification does not adequately communicate the risk of cancer to doctors and recommend a subclassification scheme: [4] 4A: low suspicion of malignancy, about > 2% to ≤ 10% likelihood of malignancy
[5] [6] [7] The bulk of studies, using sources that are external to the cell, have yielded RBEs between 10 and 20. [8] Since most of the ionization damage from the travel of the alpha particle is deposited in the cytoplasm , whereas from the travel of the recoil-nucleus is on the DNA itself, it is likely greater damage is caused by the recoil ...
The blue line is for cells which were not given a chance to recover; the red line is for cells which were allowed to stand for a time and recover. In the graph to the right, called a cell survival curve, the dose vs. surviving fraction have been drawn for a hypothetical group of cells with and without a rest time for the cells to recover. Other ...
Ki-67 is a nuclear antigen expressed in proliferating cells that is coded by the MKI67 gene on chromosome 10, and is expressed during the GI, S, G2, and M phases of the cell cycle. Cells are then stained with a Ki-67 antibody, and the number of stained nuclei is then expressed as a percentage of total tumor cells.
The rep has variously been defined as 83 or 93 ergs per gram of tissue (8.3/9.3 mGy) [13] or per cc of tissue. [ 14 ] In 1953 the ICRU recommended the rad, equal to 100 erg/g as a new unit of absorbed radiation, [ 15 ] but then promoted a switch to the gray in the 1970s.
Red Dye number 3 has been banned by the FDA due to its potential link to cancer in animals, but it is not a significant health threat to humans.

A very low dose of a chemical agent may trigger from an organism the opposite response to a very high dose.. Radiation hormesis proposes that radiation exposure comparable to and just above the natural background level of radiation is not harmful but beneficial, while accepting that much higher levels of radiation are hazardous.
