FDG-PET predicts chemo response in ovarian cancer
Changes in FDG uptake after subsequent cycles of neoadjuvant therapy can predict long-term patient survival. Researchers from the Technical University of Munich reported these findings at the Society of Nuclear Medicine meeting in June.
Changes in FDG uptake after subsequent cycles of neoadjuvant therapy can predict long-term patient survival. Researchers from the Technical University of Munich reported these findings at the Society of Nuclear Medicine meeting in June.
Dr. Stefanie Sassen and colleagues enrolled 33 patients who underwent FDG-PET imaging of the abdomen and pelvis before and after carboplatin-based chemotherapy. Patients went on to debulking surgery after chemo and were monitored for three years.
The researchers observed a significant correlation between FDG-PET uptake changes and patient survival after the first and third cycles of therapy. Overall survival of patients classified as responders and nonresponders to FDG-PET was 38.9 months and 19.7 months, respectively.
New CT and MRI Research Shows Link Between LR-M Lesions and Rapid Progression of Early-Stage HCC

Can AI Facilitate Single-Phase CT Acquisition for COPD Diagnosis and Staging?
December 12th 2024The authors of a new study found that deep learning assessment of single-phase CT scans provides comparable within-one stage accuracies to multiphase CT for detecting and staging chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
