Therefore, it is important to detect early microvascular changes with DCE-MRI, as they are better indicators of complete response to NACT than later changes. The τi parameter is used to account for the effects of transcytolemmal water exchange kinetics and unique to the SSM method. A recent...
The device is incorporated into the breast- receiving cups of a brassiere and mirror image quadrants of the two breasts are scanned and the device is visually examined to determine the number of indicators which have displayed a change in color, thus apprising the person of the existence of ...
The National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) was developed to increase screening among low-income women who are uninsured or underinsured. This study reports early indicators of the effectiveness of this: breast screening program in Iowa. Using data from the Census Bureau...
Cancer cells produce proteins called antigens that trigger the body to make antibodies against them—autoantibodies. Researchers at the University of Nottingham (UK) have found that these tumour-associated antigens (TAAs) are good indicators of cancer, and now they have developed panels of TAAs tha...
A cancer detection patch is used for aid in early detection of breast cancer by a method which involves scanning mirror image quadrants of the breast to determine the temperature thereof. The patch comprises a flexible, heat-conductive web; an array of spaced-apart temperature indicators comprising...
“We have found that these tumor-associated antigens are good indicators of cancer. However, we need to develop and further validate this test,” Alfattani added. Doctors examine an x-ray of a breast tumor.(BSIP/UIG Via Getty Images) ...
thus enhancing assay sensitivity for detecting trace miRNA levels in patient samples. The integration of these technologies in microfluidic biosensors makes miRNAs powerful indicators in early cancer diagnostics, offering pathways for continuous disease monitoring, progression tracking, and assessment of treatme...
We examined whether associations of adult weight gain with the risk of postmenopausal breast cancer vary by stature, waist-hip ratio (WHR), and early adult
A variety of prognostic markers have come recently into vogue as prognostic indicators in prostate cancers. For example, DNA aneuploidy in prostate cancers correlates with a higher stage disease and shortened survival. The role of MIB-1 labeling index as a measure of proliferation, bcl-2 expression...
We present a system for computer aided early diagnosis of breast cancer that is physician oriented instead of being fully automated. Clustered microcalcifications have been considered as important indicators of the presence of breast cancer. The ...
