Personalized Intraoperative Radiation Therapy During Cancer Surgery
A New York City Medical Center is finding new ways to employ personalized, internal radiation delivered in the operating room right after a cancer tumor is removed. Intraoperative radiotherapy represents an effort to reduce the risk of a recurrence, lessen the duration of standard postoperative external radiation, and reduce the risk to healthy tissue associated with external radiation.

Lung Cancer Is Better Identified with Ultra-Low-Dose CT Than by Current X-Ray Technology
To better determine which imaging modality works best for the diagnosis of lung cancer, Norwegian researchers have undertaken a pilot study in which they evaluated both X-ray images and ultra-low-dose CT images of a small sample of patients for whom the researchers knew the correct diagnosis beforehand.
