CEA-Leti announced that it and four French partners are developing an injectable tracer that can provide both nuclear imaging in the pre-operative evaluation of tumors and optical imaging during ablation or biopsy. The three-year Nano-ENO project is developing a specific tracer using a patented organic nano-carrier (Lipidot®). To improve its targeting capacities, a peptide molecule ...
Inappropriate growth and survival signaling, which leads to the aberrant growth of cancer cells, is a driving force behind tumors. Much of current cancer research focuses on the kinase enzymes whose mutations are responsible for such disregulated signaling, and many successful molecularly targeted anti-cancer therapeutics are directed at inhibiting kinase activity. Now, UCLA researchers from ...
A Comprehensive Approach to Stereotactic Breast Biopsy. Comprehensive introduction to stereotactic approach to diagnosis of breast disease. Stereotactic biopsy is a new, high-tech tool used by radiologists in the diagnosis of breast disease. The procedure consolidates the best aspects of needle aspiration and radiologic imaging to precisely locate and biopsy a lesion. Radiologists can now ...
Ahmed HU, Emberton M. Division of Surgery & Interventional Sciences, University College London, London, UK. hashim_uddin_ahmed@hotmail.com. Focal therapy aims to find a middle ground between surveillance and radical therapies by treating the cancer alone, with a margin, and preserving as much tissue as is practical. Early feasibility studies have demonstrated an absence of rectal toxicity ...
