 Breakthrough MRI technology using quantum physicsBreakthrough MRI technology using quantum physics
 
Magnetic Resonance Imaging methods have been used widely in past decades as a safe, non-invasive and non-radioactive method of diagnosing CVDs.
 
   Radio frequency probes inspired by microstrip patch antennas increase MRI resolutionRadio frequency probes inspired by microstrip patch antennas increase MRI resolution
 
High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines can work better by changing the structure of radio probes from coils to antennas.
 
   Elderly LS-SCLC patients show similar results to younger counterparts for concurrent chemo-radiotherapyElderly LS-SCLC patients show similar results to younger counterparts for concurrent chemo-radiotherapy
 
Elderly patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer showed similar survival and toxicity compared to their younger counterparts when treated with concurrent chemo-radiotherapy. Concurrent chemo-radiotherapy should be a treatment option for fit patients aged 70 years or older.
 
 Radiation therapy can lower risk of breast cancer recurrence in patients with ‘good risk’ DCIS
 
Radiation therapy can lower risk of breast cancer recurrence in patients with ‘good risk’ DCISA subset of patients with low-risk breast cancer is highly unlikely to see cancer return following breast conservation surgery but can lower that risk even further with radiation therapy, finds a new long-term clinical trial report.
 
 
 Precisely targeted prostate cancer radiotherapy possible with nuclear medicine imaging
 
Precisely targeted prostate cancer radiotherapy possible with nuclear medicine imagingCurrent standard imaging techniques for initial staging of prostate cancer often underestimate the extent of disease beyond the prostate.
 
 
 New nuclear medicine tracer could improve diagnosis, treatment of non-small cell lung cancer
 
New nuclear medicine tracer could improve diagnosis, treatment of non-small cell lung cancerResearchers have developed a new nuclear medicine tracer that could improve diagnosis and treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.
 
 
 Advances in radiation treatment help prolong, improve lives of people with anal cancer
 
Advances in radiation treatment help prolong, improve lives of people with anal cancerTwo recent studies find advances in radiation therapy are helping to prolong or improve the lives of people with anal cancer, including those whose cancer has advanced to stage IV.
 
 
 Physician-scientists treat first patient in the U.S. with focused ultrasound for neuropathic leg pain
 
Physician-scientists treat first patient in the U.S. with focused ultrasound for neuropathic leg painUniversity of Maryland physician-scientists have treated the first patient in the United States with MRI-guided focused ultrasound for neuropathic leg pain as part of a pilot clinical trial.
 
 
 Patients receiving individual doses and conventional breast radiation experience similar side effects
 
Patients receiving individual doses and conventional breast radiation experience similar side effectsIn a 10-year study of women who received radiation therapy to treat early-stage breast cancer, those receiving fewer, larger individual doses experienced similarly low rates of late-onset side effects as those undergoing conventional radiation therapy. Findings from the multi-institutional U.K. FAST clinical trial were presented last week at the 60th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology.
 
 
 Aggressive local therapy for stage IV lung cancer patients improves progression-free survival
 
Aggressive local therapy for stage IV lung cancer patients improves progression-free survivalAdding radiation therapy or surgery to systemic therapy for stage IV lung cancer patients whose cancer has spread to a limited number of sites can extend overall survival time significantly, according to new results from a multicenter, randomized, controlled phase II study. The findings were presented last week at the 60th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology
 
 
 Scientists identify more aggressive chemotherapy treatment for childhood brain cancer
 
Scientists identify more aggressive chemotherapy treatment for childhood brain cancerScientists led by Newcastle University have been able to identify the group of children needing more intensive, aggressive chemotherapy treatment for the most common form of brain cancer.
 
 
 Neck scan detects dementia way before symptoms appear
 
Neck scan detects dementia way before symptoms appearResearchers have shown that early dementia signs could be detected by a simple short scan of the individual’s neck. The actual dementia symptoms could be seen up to 10 years after these signs are visible on the scans they add. If proven robust for all cases, this test could soon become routine for screening middle aged individuals and classifying them as high risk for dementia later in life.
