PET-CT Identifies Ruptured and High-Risk Coronary Plaque
Scientists have discovered that the tracer 18F-sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) used with positron emission tomography-computed tomography imaging technology is the first noninvasive imaging modality to identify and localize ruptured and high-risk coronary plaque. More...09 Jan 2014
Younger, Just Diagnosed Breast Cancer Patients Often Undergo Unnecessary Imaging, Staging Procedures
More than a third of younger, early-stage breast cancer patients undergo unnecessary imaging procedures, including PET, CT, nuclear medicine bone scans, and tumor markers at the time of staging and diagnosis, according to new findings. More...08 Jan 2014

Some Older Breast Cancer Patients May Not Need Radiotherapy
For women age 65 or older who receive hormone therapy after breast-conserving surgery for hormone receptor-positive, axillary node-negative breast cancer, omission of radiotherapy is a viable option, according to new findings More...06 Jan 2014
Mammography Screening Intervals May Affect Breast Cancer Prognosis
In a study of screening mammography-detected breast tumors, patients who had more frequent screening mammography exams had a considerably lower rate of lymph node positivity as compared to women who had longer intervals between screening-mammography exams. More...02 Jan 2014
Breast Cancer Risk Linked to Breast Density Alterations as Women Age
Automated breast density measurement is predictive of breast cancer risk in younger women, and that risk may be associated with the rate at which breast density changes in some women as they age, according to recent research. More...01 Jan 2014
