NephroScan Approved to Detect Renal Parenchymal Disorders
NephroScan is a sterile, single-dose kit for the preparation of technetium Tc 99m succimer injection for intravenous use.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Prostatectomy Bed MRI Possibly Predictive in Recurrent Prostate Cancer
On univariate analysis, positive vs negative MRI findings were significantly associated with a 3.1-fold higher risk for cancer-specific death, according to investigators.
Study: Prostate Cancer Surgery Without Prior Biopsy Possible
In a series of 25 men, radiographic evidence correctly predicted significant prostate cancer in all patients on final pathology.
Post-NAC CT Correlates Poorly With Final Pathology at Radical Cystectomy
Computed tomography scans following neoadjuvant chemotherapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer does not accurately predict disease burden prior to radical cystectomy.
Risk for High-Grade Prostate Cancer Is Low Following Negative MRI, Biopsy
In a study, no patient was diagnosed with high-grade prostate cancer within 3 years following a negative prostate MRI and negative systematic prostate biopsy.
MRI Results Might Permit Sparing of the Transitional Zone During Prostate Biopsy
Compared with peripheral zone prostate cancers, transitional zone cancers are less prevalent and tend to have more favorable pathological characteristics.
Prostate Cancer Observation Varies With MRI, Genomic Testing Availability
Increasing adoption of prostate MRI and genomic testing may reduce overtreatment of prostate cancer, according to investigators.
Study: 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET May Miss Pelvic Nodal Metastasis in Prostate Cancer
68Ga-PSMA-11 PET scans have a 40% sensitivity for detecting pelvic nodal metastasis in men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer, data show.
Study: Chest Imaging After RCC Surgery Not Warranted
Investigators concluded that there is minimal to no clinical value in surveillance for pulmonary recurrence after T1a RCC resection.
Patients Burdened by Cost of Diagnostic Imaging Interpretations
Half of patients are liable for some costs of secondary imaging interpretation, but only 17.1% made out-of-pocket payments
