Brain metabolism predicts survival in advanced non–small cell lung cancer patients

Low brain metabolism as measured from ¹⁸F-FDG PETCT is associated with higher mortality in patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to new research published in the July issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Incorporating brain ¹⁸F-FDG uptake alongside clinical, tumour, and biological data improved prediction of overall survival, providing physicians with valuable […]

DNA blood test improves patient selection for radiopharmaceutical therapy in prostate cancer

A noninvasive DNA blood test can identify metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients who are most likely to benefit from 223Ra radiopharmaceutical therapy and monitor their progress throughout treatment, according to new research published in the July issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Incorporating this new approach to DNA profiling into clinical practice has the potential […]
