each patient was given a PET-MRI scan to look for signs of cancer spread in the affected breast, the surrounding area and the rest of the body.
A lung positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that uses a radioactive substance (called a tracer) to look for disease in the lungs, particularly lung cancer. Unlike magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans, which reveal thePET Lung...
摘要: A lung positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that uses a radioactive substance (called a tracer) to look for disease in the lungs, particularly lung cancer. Unlike magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans, which reveal the...
Using the same untreated cells, the researchers then created an in vivo model by injecting mice with thecancerous cellsand treating them with vandetanib. Small animal PET/computed tomography (CT) imaging was performed and was found to reproduce the in vitro findings of metabolic activity after thr...
A PET scan is useful for detecting cancer, checking for tumor spread and assessing tumor treatment. Learn More CT scans are used for diagnosing disease, monitoring therapy effectiveness and guiding procedures. Learn More An ultrasound is radiation free medical imaging, capable of examining several are...
Surveillance imaging in patients with head and neck cancer who go into remission is controversial. To shed light on the issue, investigators compared outcomes in 340 adults who had an unequivocally negative positron emission tomography (PET) scan within 6 months of radiation with or without chemother...
68Ga-grazytracer PET for noninvasive assessment of response to immunotherapy in solid tumors and lymphomas: a phase 1/2 clinical trial Several approaches based on positron emission tomography (PET) are currently used to evaluate cancer response to immunotherapy. Here the authors report the results ...
Pet-facilitated therapy Psychology The use of a domestic pet as an adjunct to psychotherapy and for persons with a marginal role in society–eg, children in foster care, the elderly, in nursing homes, mentally retarded, physically handicapped, inmates of correctional facilities, for those in menta...
For the first time, researchers at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance have demonstrated the feasibility of using serial positron emission tomography (PET) scans, using a special estrogen-containing isotope, to confirm the relative effectiveness of estrogen-blocking and estrogen-depleting therapy in patients wit...
2.Inoncology, drug therapy for cancer. Also called "chemo" for short. Most cancer chemotherapeutic drugs are given IV (into a vein) or IM (into muscle). Some anticancer agents are taken orally (by mouth). Chemotherapy is usually systemic treatment, meaning that the drugs flow through the ...
