Radiation’s Link to Higher Mortality Underscored by Largest-Ever Study of Pediatric Low-Grade Glioma Patients
The first comprehensive, large-scale study of the long-term survival of children treated for low-grade gliomas, the most common pediatric brain tumor, revealed that nearly 90% are alive 20 years later and that few die from the cancer as adults. More...19 Feb 2014
Screening Mammography for Most Women Recommended Every Two Years
Implementation of new guidelines recommending screening mammography every two years for women aged 50 to 74 years would result in breast cancer screening that is just as effective, while saving the United States USD 4.3 billion yearly in healthcare costs, according to new data. More...17 Feb 2014
Moderate Doses of Radiotherapy to Unaffected Breast May Prevent Second Breast Tumors
A study conducted in lab mice suggests that survivors can drastically slash that risk through treatment with moderate doses of radiation to the unaffected breast at the same time that they receive radiation therapy to their affected breast. More...05 Feb 2014
CT Scans Could Bolster Forensic Database to Identify Unknown Remains
New findings revealed that data from CT scans can be incorporated into a growing forensic database to help determine the ancestry and sex of unidentified human remains. These findings may also have clinical applications for craniofacial surgeons. More...30 Jan 2014
IMRT Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer May Be Superior to Standard Radiation
Patients with head and neck cancer who are treated with a sophisticated form of radiation therapy may experience fewer side effects and are less likely to die from their disease than patients who receive traditional radiation therapy. More...28 Jan 2014
