In locally advanced cervical cancer, positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) or computed tomography (CT) is recommended, since the identification of metastatic lymph nodes and distant metastases has therapeutic consequences. Furthermore, novel imaging techniques offer visualization of ...
Angiography is not only diagnostic but allows for immediate therapeutic interventions to achieve revascularization. However, computed tomography angiography (CTA) has now replaced angiography as the first-line diagnostic test for AMI. CTA is accurate and has excellent sensitivity and specificity, ...
All these innovative tools can improve efficiency and accelerate cellular ultrastructure analysis. This understanding is critical for advancing knowledge in areas such as cell biology, neurobiology, disease mechanisms, and potential therapeutic interventions. ...
This made it unclear whether the change in [F-18]AV-1451 retention was linearly related to changes in tau load—a relationship that is critical for longitudinal and therapeutic studies. This has now been mostly resolved showing the 80- to 100-minute standardized uptake value ratio data to be...
Indeed, without U.S.-style cost-insensitive insurance, many expensive diagnostic and therapeutic innovations would not be developed and brought to market.1 The insured patient, on the other hand, will usually want any and all care that might possibly be of net benefit, regardless of cost. The...
Third, the proportion of patients with high-risk advanced PCa is high due to limited prostate specific antigen (PSA) screening [1, 5]. Two challenges in PCa diagnosis and treatment are the precise diagnosis of PCa and the prediction of the therapeutic outcomes or PCa progression, which have ...
All these innovative tools can improve efficiency and accelerate cellular ultrastructure analysis. This understanding is critical for advancing knowledge in areas such as cell biology, neurobiology, disease mechanisms, and potential therapeutic interventions. ...
What is a placebo effect?Research has shown that a placebo treatment can have a positive therapeutic effect in a patient, even though the pill or treatment is not active. This is known as the “placebo effect” or “placebo response”....
Moreover, because targeted agents are approved for cancer treatment largely based on marginal benefits shown in clinical trials, it means that a large percentage of patients may merely suffer toxicity without therapeutic benefit. Functional imaging biomarkers have the potential to quantify biological ...
Progression of metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer: impact of therapeutic intervention in the post-docetaxel space Despite the proven success of hormonal therapy for prostate cancer using chemical or surgical castration, most patients eventually will progress to a phase...
