The findings support adopting F-18 DCFPyL PET/CT as the standard of care for prostate cancer staging, authors of a new Scientific Reports paper concluded.
Difficulty obtaining PET/CT scans was reported by 55% of respondents, with 21% citing this as the greatest barrier in treating classic Hodgkin lymphoma.
That’s according to an award-winning scientific online poster presented this week during the American Roentgen Ray Society’s annual meeting being held in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Features pertaining to location, density and superimposed structures were recently found to be associated with poorer outcomes for patients who initially had their lung cancer overlooked on radiographs.
The AUC includes a total of 32 clinical scenarios that have been grouped into four categories of cancer: breast, skin, cancer of other sites and lymphedema.
MRI-directed contrast enhanced mammography could serve as a useful stand-alone or complimentary tool for biopsy planning when suspicious lesions are detected.
Munir Ghesani, MD, president of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) and system chief of nuclear medicine at Mount Sinai Health, explains PSMA-PET has seen rapid adoption because it can significantly improve prostate cancer detection and treatment.
In a close collaboration with radiation oncologists, experts trained their model on the CT lung images of 787 patients and tested it on the scans of more than 1,300 patients from external datasets.
When applied to MRI and clinical features, different machine learning models were recently shown to reliably predict post-treatment recurrences of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Implementing an EHR cancer tracking system to review radiology reports for abnormal findings resulted in patients at one Veterans Affairs Hospital receiving their cancer diagnosis and treatment months earlier than those who were imaged before the system was put into place.
The authors stated that their results should not deter providers from offering their patients radiotherapy treatment but rather encourage in-depth discussions and shared decisions pertaining to the best options.
