Molecular Imaging Enables Earlier, Individualized Treatment of Thyroid Cancer
In a molecular imaging study, researchers were able for the first time to effectively distinguish between cancerous cells in regional lymph nodes and normal residual thyroid tissue directly after surgery. More...27 Jan 2009
PET Scanning Found To Be Powerful Imaging Modality Across all Cancer Types
With the most recent release of data from the U.S. oncologic PET registry, researchers validated the effectiveness of positron emission tomography imaging in the monitoring of tumor activity across a broad range of cancers. More...30 Dec 2008
New Mammography Technology Effective in Detecting Breast Cancer
Researchers have discovered that positron emission mammography is not affected by either breast density or a woman's hormonal status, two factors that limit the effectiveness of conventional mammography and magnetic resonance imaging at detecting cancer. More...23 Dec 2008
Molecular Imaging Is Changing the Course of Breast Cancer Treatment
For difficult-to-diagnose patients, a new imaging technology called breast-specific gamma imaging has been found to be a more useful adjunctive imaging tool than ultrasound for patients who need additional imaging following a questionable mammogram. More...17 Dec 2008
Better Treatment Options for Breast Cancer in Women with Implants
Women with early-stage breast cancer who have undergone breast augmentation may be treated successfully with a partial-breast radiation treatment that can be given in higher doses to a small, targeted area of the breast. More...17 Dec 2008
