18F-FDG-PET/CT Imaging for Gastrointestinal Malignancies.
(Radiologic clinics of North America, 2021-09)Gastrointestinal malignancies encompass a variety of primary tumor sites, each with different staging criteria and treatment approaches. In this review we discuss technical aspects of 18F-FDG-PET/CT scanning to optimize ... -
Cortical β-amyloid levels and neurocognitive performance after cardiac surgery.
(BMJ Open, 2013-09-20)INTRODUCTION: Neurological and neurocognitive dysfunction occurs frequently in the large number of increasingly elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery every year. Perioperative cognitive deficits have been shown to ... -
Early 18F-FDG-PET Response During Radiation Therapy for HPV-Related Oropharyngeal Cancer May Predict Disease Recurrence.
(International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics, 2020-11)<h4>Purpose</h4>Early indication of treatment outcome may guide therapeutic de-escalation strategies in patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal cancer (OPC). This study investigated the relationships ... -
Evaluating Alzheimer Disease With Flortaucipir and Florbetapir PET: A Clinical Case Series.
(Clinical nuclear medicine, 2021-07)<h4>Abstract</h4>Early, accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer disease (AD) is essential but remains challenging. Neuropathological hallmarks of AD are β-amyloid neuritic plaques and tau protein neurofibrillary tangles. 18F-Florbetapir ... -
Initial In Vivo Quantification of Tc-99m Sestamibi Uptake as a Function of Tissue Type in Healthy Breasts Using Dedicated Breast SPECT-CT.
(J Oncol, 2012)A pilot study is underway to quantify in vivo the uptake and distribution of Tc-99m Sestamibi in subjects without previous history of breast cancer using a dedicated SPECT-CT breast imaging system. Subjects undergoing diagnostic ... -
Pilot Study of [18F] Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET)/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for Staging of Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC).
(Clinical genitourinary cancer, 2020-10)<h4>Introduction</h4>Computed tomography (CT) has limited diagnostic accuracy for staging of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). [18F] Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)/magnetic resonance imaging ... -
Pitfalls of post-treatment PET after de-intensified chemoradiotherapy for HPV-associated oropharynx cancer: Secondary analysis of a phase 2 trial.
(Oral oncology, 2018-03)OBJECTIVES:We evaluated patterns of nodal response and positive predictive value (PPV) of 3 month post-treatment PET in patients with HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer treated on a multi-institutional de-intensification ... -
Predictors of survival in 211 patients with stage IV pulmonary and gastroenteropancreatic mIBG positive neuroendocrine tumors treated with I-131 mIBG.
(Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine, 2018-05-18)Purpose: This retrospective analysis identifies predictors of survival in a cohort of patients with mIBG positive stage IV pulmonary and gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (P/GEP-NET) treated with I-131 mIBG therapy, ... -
Tumor protein p53 mutation in archived tumor samples from a 12-year survivor of stage 4 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma may predict long-term survival with DeltaRex-G: A case report and literature review.
(Molecular and clinical oncology, 2021-09)DeltaRex-G is a replication-incompetent amphotropic murine leukemia virus-based retroviral vector that displays a collagen-matrix-targeting decapeptide on its surface envelope protein, gp70, and encodes a cytocidal 'dominant ...
