A recent study hints that by lowering access barriers to mammography, the government could offset the tendency of uninsured minority women to delay seeking medical help, including mammography.
University of North Carolina researchers looked at the correlation between the insurance status of 617 breast cancer patients and the stage and size of their tumors at the time of diagnosis. They found that uninsured non-Caucasian patients have a higher probability of presenting with a more advanced cancer stage and larger tumor size than insured patients. They published their results in Academic Radiology (2008;15[10]: 1255-1258). Dr.Wende Logan-Young, director of the Elizabeth Wende Breast Clinic in Rochester, NY, confirmed that uninsured minority women are less likely than other atrisk populations to undergo screening mammography. An effort by the Obama administration to cover uninsured U.S. residents could change this trend, she said.
Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
