Only 31% of patients with prostate cancer receiving radiation therapy had a successful CT simulation on the first attempt, while more than half required multiple scans on the same day and nearly 17% ...

When planning for palliative radiotherapy, clinicians can forgo an additional CT scan on the same day as treatment and instead use a recent diagnostic CT scan, according to a results from a randomized ...

SAN DIEGO -- Using recent diagnostic CT scans instead of CT simulation scans to plan palliative radiation treatments can substantially reduce the time to treatment completion for cancer patients, the ...

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-PET/CT imaging identified metastatic prostate cancer in almost half of high-risk cases missed by conventional imaging, a retrospective analysis showed.

Visual Abstract. Overall survival for patients treated with salvage radiotherapy: real world data from an entire country. A patient with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy and no ...

New PSMA PET/CT can detect signs of prostate cancer within elderly patients without the need of a biopsy. PSMA PET/CT scans can detect signs of prostate cancer in elderly patients without the need of ...

Earlier pinpointing of prostate cancer recurrence locations after radical prostatectomy means that PSMA PET/CT could help guide salvage radiotherapy, resulting in more effective treatment for many ...

Early results support a fully-powered trial of 18F-PSMA PET/CT for prostate cancer detection, according to the investigators. PSMA-PET/CT with the radiotracer 18F-DCFPyl (18 F-PSMA PET/CT) may improve ...

An imaging test could safely halve the number of people who need a biopsy for suspected prostate cancer following inconclusive or reassuring results from an MRI scan, new research has found. Findings ...
