Feb 9 2024Radiological Society of North America An innovative breast imaging technique provides high sensitivity for detecting cancer while significantly reducing the likelihood of false positive results, according to a study published today in Radiology: Imaging Cancer, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America . Researchers said the technique has the potential to offer more reliable breast cancer screening for a broader range of patients.
Low-dose positron emission mammography is a novel molecular imaging technique that provides improved diagnostic performance at a radiation dose comparable to that of mammography. PEM displayed comparable performance to MRI, identifying 24 of the 25 invasive cancers . Its false positive rate was only 16%, compared with 62% for MRI.
The integration of these features-;high sensitivity, lower false-positive rates, cost-efficiency, acceptable radiation levels without compression, and independence from breast density-;positions this emerging imaging modality as a potential groundbreaking advancement in the early detection of breast cancer.

UK Cancer Survival Progress Slows, Report FindsA report commissioned by Cancer Research UK reveals that progress in UK cancer survival is slower than it has been in 50 years. The study shows that the UK is falling behind other countries in tackling the disease, with rising cancer cases predicted for the future. Cancer waiting times are also among the worst on record, and access to treatment is unequal. The report highlights the need for improvement in cancer care.

New test for improving population-based colorectal cancer screeningA new stool test appears to detect colorectal cancer precursors better than the current fecal immunochemical test. This could further reduce the number of new colorectal cancer cases as well as the number of people dying from the disease. A study led by the Netherlands Cancer Institute compared both tests.
