Based on a study featured in the July issue in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine, the predictive value of FDG PET for therapy response has been proven for a range of treatments for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), now including concomitant chemoradiotherapy, which demands cautious patient selection...

The innovative alpha-emitting product radium-223 (Xofigo, Algeta/Bayer), recently approved in the United States for use in prostate cancer with bone metastases, addresses an "important unmet need," say researchers reporting results from the phase 3 trial that led to the product's approval. Final re...

According to the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) cancer patients who are given chest radiation should be screened for heart disease every 5 to 10 years or so. Published in European ...

Developments and advancements in medical imaging (radiology) are revered within the medical community as being some of the most critical progressions for cancer care over the last few decades. However, these same achievements are seldom acknowledged publicly. Imaging, by way of CT, MRI or PET scann...

Efficient imaging of the configuration of new blood-vessels giving way to invasive tumors is vital to the continued progress of antiangiogenetic therapy. Varieties of imaging techniques and antiangiogenic drugs have been applied in this field yet have failed to deliver on a consistent basis. Howeve...

For patients with advanced breast cancer, positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging can enhance the quality of life and increase chances of survival by supplying doctors with information on the efficiency of chemotherapy prior to surgery. The researchers who shared thei...

An American biologist is using microbubles to enhance ultrasound technology which could be applied in ambulances and help medical personnel diagnose patients on the spot, potentially saving lives. Biologist, Dr. Jason Castle registered for emergency medical technician (EMT) training in upstate New ...

Researchers at the 2013 Annual Meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging are calling for a new patient procedure in response to a hostile and recurring lymphoma.  This new treatment is designed to merge highly concentrated chemotherapy and radioimmunotherapy (RIT) perhaps ma...
