RFA shows encouraging results in head, neck
With radio-frequency ablation's success increasingly established as a palliative technique in the liver and kidneys, interventionalists are trying it out in other parts of the body. New research suggests it may considerably reduce the size of advanced tumors in the mouth and throat and alleviate pain.
With radio-frequency ablation's success increasingly established as a palliative technique in the liver and kidneys, interventionalists are trying it out in other parts of the body. New research suggests it may considerably reduce the size of advanced tumors in the mouth and throat and alleviate pain.
Reseachers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine's Montefiore Medical Center in The Bronx, NY, treated six patients in a pilot study presented in the August issue of Head and Neck. Tumors ranged from 2 to 15 cm and were most commonly located on the tongue, the base of the tongue, or the neck. All patients reported significant pain relief following the procedure.
MR or CT evaluation was helpful in selecting patients, but ultrasound was not useful for procedure guidance. Though no complications were recorded, damage to surrounding tissue and cranial nerves is a major concern, according to the authors.
Can Generative AI Facilitate Simulated Contrast Enhancement for Prostate MRI?
January 14th 2025Deep learning synthesis of contrast-enhanced MRI from non-contrast prostate MRI sequences provided an average multiscale structural similarity index of 70 percent with actual contrast-enhanced prostate MRI in external validation testing from newly published research.
Can MRI Have an Impact with Fertility-Sparing Treatments for Endometrial and Cervical Cancers?
January 9th 2025In a literature review that includes insights from recently issued guidelines from multiple European medical societies, researchers discuss the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in facilitating appropriate patient selection for fertility-sparing treatments to address early-stage endometrial and cervical cancer.
