Recombined CEM images effective for depicting palpable breast lesions

AuntMinnie

When it comes to working up palpable breast abnormalities with contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), recombined images better depict the lesion than low-energy ones, research published November 8 in Academic Radiology has found. The findings shed light on a condition that, although is most commonly benign, can also can be a common presenting symptom of breast cancer, wrote a team led by Tali Amir, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.

Beyond diagnosis: is there a role for radiomics in prostate cancer management?

European Society of Radiology: AI

At present, therapeutic and prognostic recommendations for prostate cancer (PCa) predominantly hinge on risk-stratification tools that are built upon clinical parameters. Recent evidence indicates that incorporating imaging can enhance the precision of prognostic models based on clinical factors. However, challenges like subjective interpretation, variability in image analysis, and the absence of reliable quantitative measures need to be overcome to fully harness the potential of imaging.

Researchers develop gel to deliver cancer drugs for solid tumors

ScienceDaily

Intratumoral therapy -- in which cancer drugs are injected directly into tumors -- is a promising treatment option for solid cancers but has shown limited success in clinical trials due to an inability to precisely deliver the drug and because most immunotherapies quickly dissipate from the site of injection. A team of researchers has developed a gel delivery system that overcomes these challenges.
