For the majority of patients at high-risk for biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer (PCa), new prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) research reaffirms a lack of sustained efficacy for monotherapy treatment with local radiation therapy or radical prostatectomy. For the retrospective study, recently published in BJUI Compass, researchers reviewed PSMA PET/CT data … Read more
The treatment paradigm for HER2-positive breast cancer continues to evolve with a growing emphasis on anthracycline-sparing approaches and the refinement of initial strategies in both the early-stage and metastatic settings, according to Paolo Tarantino, MD. “I do feel the future will have more and more anthracycline-sparing [regimens], acknowledging that there are few selected populations of … Read more
A nomogram that combines breast MRI-derived intra-tumoral heterogeneity (ITH) quantification with clinicopathologic factors may offer significant prognostic benefit in assessing neoadjuvant chemotherapy response in patients with breast cancer. In a new multicenter retrospective study, recently published in Radiology, researchers trained and evaluated the capability of the nomogram to predict pathologic complete response (pCR) in a … Read more
New research suggests that women have a significantly higher risk of death within one year of pulmonary embolism (PE) detection than men. For the retrospective study, recently published in Clinical Imaging, researchers reviewed data from 33,628 women (mean age of 55) who had computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography or ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy over a seven-year period … Read more
