In years past, concerns have been raised over whether a growing radiation oncology workforce would eventually outpace patient demands, but a new report brings positive news.

A team of experts has been researching a method known as photo acoustic chemical imaging, or PACI, to understand how it can offer added insight into the chemical makeup of a tumor.  

New data suggest that it may not be necessary for women older than 65 with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer to undergo radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery and hormone therapy, as it does not impact death rates or metastasis risk.

Preoperative ultrafast MRI could help guide biopsy and surgical management decision in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ. 

Experts involved in the new research indicate that PET/MRI could have an increasingly prevalent role in lung cancer staging and restaging.

A study published in the January issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine reveals that nearly half of Medicare patients with NSCLC in the United States do not complete recommended FDG PET/CT scans prior to treatment.

Researchers from the University of Waterloo and the University of Toronto are collaborating to better understand how glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) advances when it is not treated.

The deep learning model was trained to predict risk of lung cancer in the one to six years following completion of an LDCT scan, and it does not require clinical information relative to risk factors to do so.
