Exploring the role of tumor to background parenchymal ratio of the [18F]FLT PET/CT measures in determining response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer: a multicenter study
Oncology Imaging 5 min.
Breast cancer, accounting for 23% of cases of all cancer diagnoses worldwide, represents the most prevalent cancer diagnosed in females and the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death among this population [1, 2]. Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) is commonly defined as tumors inoperable at presentation...
CT delta-radiomics predicts the risks of blood transfusion and massive bleeding during spinal tumor surgery
Oncology Imaging 5 min.
Spinal tumors often require surgical resection, especially when there is nerve compression, spinal instability, and intractable pain [1, 2]. However, spinal tumor surgeries are frequently complicated by intraoperative bleeding, due to the spine’s complex anatomy and rich vascular supply [3, 4]. To...
An update on the role of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration in lung cancer management
Oncology Imaging 1 min.
Accurate diagnosis and staging are essential for optimizing lung cancer management. The 9th edition of the TNM classification emphasizes distinguishing between single-station and multi-station N2 disease, highlighting the necessity of comprehensive mediastinal node assessment for clinical staging. Endobronchial...
Development of an ultrasound-mediated nano-sized drug-delivery system for cancer treatment: from theory to experiment
Oncology Imaging 1 min.
To establish a methodology for understanding how ultrasound (US) induces drug release from nano-sized drug-delivery systems (NSDDSs) and enhances drug penetration and uptake in tumors. This aims to advance cancer treatment strategies. Materials & methods: We developed...
