Age bows out as factor forrecurrence in DCIS patients
Younger women with ductal carcinoma insitu have traditionally been held to have ahigher risk of recurrence than older womenwith the condition. A new study from FoxChase Cancer Center inPhiladelphia, however,challenges this view.
Younger women with ductal carcinoma in situ have traditionally been held to have a higher risk of recurrence than older women with the condition. A new study from Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, however, challenges this view.
Dr. Aruna Turaka and colleagues examined 440 patients with DCIS. All patients received whole-breast radiotherapy, and 95% received additional radiation to the excision site. Study results showed no statistically significant difference between younger and older patients when it came to recurrences.
Findings were released at the 2008 American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology meeting. "There is a trend toward increased risk in younger women, but it was not significant enough to show that they do badly compared with the older women," Turaka told Diagnostic Imaging.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
