Compared with postoperative stereotactic radiation therapy, an investigational intraoperative RT approach could significantly reduce local tumor recurrence and improve survival in patients with newly diagnosed operable brain metastases.
New findings could shift the standard approach to preventing brain metastases in SCLC, particularly as modern MRI allows clinicians to detect and treat brain disease earlier.
The imaging agent could potentially help doctors characterize a malignancy's aggression and identify lesions with a higher likelihood of invasion or metastasis.
A new review led by UCLA researchers examines the utility of commercially available AI tools for screening mammography and evidence surrounding their ability to detect interval cancers.
New research suggests the technique can effectively break down amyloid fibrinogen microclots, which are believed to interfere with perfusion and cause inflammation.
The photoacoustic CT, or PACT, imaging technique is said to perform comparably to mammography for cancer detection, but without the discomfort of standard mammograms.
If left undiagnosed and untreated for a prolonged period, fatty liver disease can progress to more serious conditions, such as cirrhosis and liver cancer.
By identifying these structural changes prior to the onset of symptomatic neurodegeneration, providers may be able to initiate preventive therapies sooner.
The new F-18 flurpiridaz radiotracer is expected to help drive cardiac PET growth, but it requires waiting between rest and stress scans. Software from MultiFunctional Imaging can help care teams combat that problem.
