Researchers estimated that 17.9 million middle-aged women in the United States are overdue for breast, cervical or colorectal cancer screening, according to a new cross-sectional study.

In a new capabilities analysis of 16 CE-marked AI software platforms for CT lung cancer screening, researchers found that only 6.7 percent of supporting peer-reviewed studies were prospective and that none of the studies assessed impact on patient outcomes.

While previous research has demonstrated the capability of the PET/CT agent (89Zr)girentuximab for detecting clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), a new analysis reveals a 98 percent positive predictive value (PPV) for detecting non-ccRCC renal cancers.
