imaging cancer . “that’s an important advancement because surgical biopsies have side effects and risks, despite having a low probability of a positive result confirming the presence of cancer cells,” dogan explained. “improving our ability to rule out [cancer cells in lymph nodes] du...
1 While the survival rate for people with localized prostate cancer is more than 98%, it is reduced to 30% when the cancer spreads to other parts of the body, such as distant lymph nodes, bones, or other organs.1 This reduction in survival rate may be prevented with early diagnosis. ...
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common malignancy worldwide and a major cause of cancer-related death [1]. It represents 85% of all lung cancers and usually grows and spreads more slowly than small-cell lung cancer. Despite advances in surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation the...
New AI can help detect breast cancer that is spreading to other parts of the body, without the need for biopsies, a new study finds. Ad The AI analyzes MRI scans to detect the presence ofcancer cellsin the lymph nodes under the arms, researchers said. Inclinical practice, the AI could ...
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)accounts for about 84%of all lung cancers, which are the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. and worldwide. Patients diagnosed with NSCLC who have widespread metastatic disease, where cancer spreads past a person's lungs and lymph nodes, generally ca...

(CT) scans—which can also show if cancer has spread beyond the lungs. If it's safe to get a biopsy sample, clinical scientists then look at thetumor cellsunder a microscope and classify the type of lung cancer a patient has. This helps doctors decide which course of treatment might be...
complications, including pain, infection and bleeding. Third, cancer cells that spread to different areas of the body may differ somewhat from the cancer at the site where it started. As a result, a tumor biopsy from one part of the body is unlikely to adequately represent cancer throughout ...
