Delays in time to treatment initiation (TTI) for new cancer diagnoses cause patient distress and may adversely affect outcomes. We investigated trends TTI common solid tumors treated with curative intent, determinants of increased association overall survival.We utilized prospective data from the National Cancer Database newly diagnosed United States patients early-stage breast, prostate, lung, colorectal, renal pancreas cancers 2004-13. was defined as days diagnosis first (surgery, systemic...
Currently, over half of breast cancer cases are unrelated to known risk factors, highlighting the importance discovering other cancer-promoting factors. Since crosstalk between gut microbes and host immunity contributes many diseases, we hypothesized that similar interactions could occur recently described microbiome local immune responses influence pathogenesis.
Purpose To compare the diagnostic utility of an investigational optoacoustic imaging device that fuses laser optical (OA) with grayscale ultrasonography (US) to US alone in differentiating benign and malignant breast masses. Materials Methods This prospective, 16-site study 2105 women (study period: 12/21/2012 9/9/2015) compared Breast Imaging Reporting Data System (BI-RADS) categories assigned by seven blinded independent readers masses using OA/US versus alone. BI-RADS 3, 4, or 5 assessed...
Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a rapidly emerging non-invasive imaging technology that integrates the merits of high optical contrast with ultrasound resolution. The ability to quantitatively and non-invasively image nanoparticles has important implications for development as in vivo cancer diagnostic therapeutic agents. In this study, systemically administered poly(ethylene glycol)-coated (PEGylated) gold agent tumor PAT been evaluated. We demonstrate (20 50 nm) have photoacoustic...
To determine if ifosfamide-based chemotherapy (IF) offers a survival benefit to adult patients with primary extremity synovial sarcoma.

To determine the utility of MRI for assessing axillary lymph node status in patients with breast cancer.A consecutive series who underwent MR before surgical management cancer sampling between 2005 and 2007 were identified. MRs evaluated number nodes, contrast kinetics, nodal area, nodes no fatty hilum. Data analyzed context final pathology, sentinel status, status. Correlations using Kendall's tau-b test. Reported P values are one-sided.Fifty-six females (median = 58 years) studied....
To assess the value of preoperative imaging studies and intraoperative assessment perihepatic lymph nodes in patients undergoing partial hepatectomy for malignancy.Perihepatic node status is an important prognostic factor hepatic resection 1(o) metastatic cancer. The unknown.Perihepatic were sampled 100 malignancy. At time sampling, participating surgeons assigned a clinical suspicion score (scale, 1-5: 1 = clinically negative, 5 positive). Preoperative CT scans PET reviewed blinded fashion...
Esophageal cancer in the United States carries a poor prognosis with overall 5 year survival rate of approximately 10%. Due to this dismal outcome, data analyzing factors predictive for greater than years are not available.Single institution retrospective review esophageal resection curative intent from 1984 2004. We identified 50 actual survivors (long term survivors, LTS) out 266 patients (19%) invasive and, using multivariate logistic regression, compared characteristics between LTS, and...
The novel optical properties of polyhydroxy fullerenes (PHF)—which are water-soluble, biodegradable and antioxidant—are applied for imaging therapy cancer. Tumors injected with PHF imaged photoacoustic tomography (PAT) photothermally treated near-infrared (NIR) laser. Tumor size decreases up to 72% within two hours treatment, only a blister visible after 20 hours. Detailed facts importance specialist readers published as "Supporting Information". Such documents peer-reviewed, but not...
The use of photoacoustic effect is a promising approach for biomedical imaging in living tissues. Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) has been demonstrated to image breast cancer, brain vasculature, arthritis and seizure focus owing its rich optical contrast high resolution single modality. Here we report microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based intraoperative PAT (iPAT) technique, demonstrate ability accurately map tumors three-dimension inspect the completeness tumor resection during surgery...
Purpose : The authors present the design and evaluation of a second‐generation (G2) hybrid photoacoustic tomography (PAT) diffuse optical (DOT) imaging system for detection breast cancer. combined PAT/DOT takes full advantages two different modalities to provide complementary information most accurate recovery tissue properties. Methods This was designed produce cross‐section images with ring‐shaped home‐made array 64 wideband acoustic transducers an 16/16 source/detector fiber bundles. A...
Abstract Purpose: To develop targeted molecular imaging probes for the noninvasive detection of breast cancer lymph node metastasis. Experimental Design: Six cell surface or secreted markers were identified by expression profiling and from literature as being highly expressed in metastases. Two these carbonic anhydrase isozymes (CAIX and/or CAXII) validated protein immunohistochemistry patient tissue samples on a microarray containing 47 normal samples, 42 ductal carcinoma situ, 43 invasive...
Cancer is one of the leading causes death throughout world. Advancements in early and improved diagnosis could help prevent a significant number these deaths. Raman spectroscopy vibrational spectroscopic technique which has received considerable attention recently with regards to applications clinical oncology. potential not only improve cancer but also advance treatment cancer. A studies have investigated for its wide variety cancers. In this paper most recent advances dispersive...
