Many quality measurements, but few quality measures assessing the quality of breast cancer care in women: a systematic review.

abstract：BACKGROUND:18F-FDG PET/CT could satisfactorily show pancreatic and extra-pancreatic lesions in AIP, which can be mistaken for pancreatic cancer (PC). This study aimed to identify 18F-FDG PET/CT findings that might differentiate AIP from PC. METHODS:FDG-PET/CT findings of 26 AIP and 40 PC patients were reviewed. Pancre...
