BGICC25 Updates: Prof. Jessica Leung on BI-RADS Updates and Breast Cancer Imaging
The 17th BGICC (Breast Gynecological and Immunooncology International Cancer Conference) was held on 23rd-24th January 2025 at the Hilton Heliopolis Hotel in Cairo, Egypt. This conference, recognized as the largest and most prestigious cancer event in Africa and the Middle East, served as a major platform for discussing the latest updates and trends in breast and gynecological cancers.
Under the slogan “Illumination and Creation,” it also highlighted advancements in genetics and immuno-oncology, covering all oncology aspects from diagnosis to future innovations. The event featured a range of scientific and educational symposia, workshops, debates, and recommendation sessions, with collaborations from world-renowned scientists and esteemed societies.
Prof. Jessica Leung, a breast imager in Houston, Texas, and chair of the ACR BI-RADS ultrasound subcommittee, joins OncoDaily to discuss key updates in the upcoming sixth edition of the BI-RADS lexicon. She highlights the introduction of non-mass lesions in ultrasound, a significant step in detecting subtle breast cancer signs earlier. Dr. Leung explores how this update enhances early diagnosis of DCIS and invasive lobular carcinoma, improves ultrasound-guided biopsy accuracy, and refines risk assessment based on lesion distribution.
