MRI-guided biopsy or not? Both beat standard invasive method for prostate cancer diagnosis

When testing for prostate cancer, multiparametric MRI with or without targeted biopsy was more effective than the common standard transrectal ultrasonography-guided biopsy, but a recently published editorial argues more testing is needed.

Machine learning objectively contours CT scans, saves time for radiation oncologists

Contouring is an instrumental process for radiation oncologists and their patients—but the method is highly subjective. Researchers found their deep neural network algorithm could result in massive time savings for providers.

Brain tumor biomarkers could help eliminate surgical biopsies

A team from Washington University in St. Louis developed a proof-of-concept technique to detect tumor biomarkers via a blood test using noninvasive focused ultrasound. The method could potentially eliminate surgical biopsies, according to a study in Scientific Reports.
