Anticancer Agent and Radiotherapy Destroy Tumors but Protect Healthy Cells

Although radiation treatments have recently become much more optimized, it is still difficult to both sufficiently dose the tumor while sparing the surrounding tissue. A new anticancer drug currently under clinical development may help tackle this problem by protecting normal cells, but not the cancerous ones, from the effects of radiation.  More...

Image: Coronary CT angiography images demonstrate examples of high-risk plaque features. A, Image was obtained in a 63-year-old man with partially calcified plaque, positive remodeling (vertical arrow), and spotty calcium (horizontal arrow). B, A cross-sectional view of a noncalcified plaque in a 65-year-old man demonstrates a napkin-ring sign with a central low-attenuation area, surrounded by a peripheral rim of higher attenuation (arrow) next to the lumen (∗). C, Image in a 60-year-old woman with partially calcified plaque demonstrates a low CT number in the midportion (arrow) (Photo courtesy of the journal Radiology).

Coronary CT Angiography Reveals Link between Coronary Artery Plaque and Liver Disease

Researchers using coronary computed tomography angiography imaging have found a close correlation between high-risk coronary artery plaque and a common liver disease. The research revealed that a single CT scan can detect both conditions.  More...
