Comprehensive characterization of genomic features and clinical outcomes following targeted therapy and secondary cytoreductive surgery in OCCC: a single center experience.

Objective: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is associated with chemoresistance. Limited data exists regarding the efficacy of targeted therapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and bevacizumab, and the role of secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCS).

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed genomic features and treatment outcomes of 172 OCCC patients treated at our institution from January 2000 to May 2022.

Utilization of a Fluorescent Marker in a Simulated Biological Fluid Spill Drill Within a Position Emission Tomography Center.

The management of uncontained spillage of radioactive material in nuclear medicine healthcare facilities is documented in their standard operating procedures (SOPs). These are supplemented by periodic training drills for staff to practice the appropriate responses and decontamination techniques. We report on the use of Glo Germ (GloGerm Co.

Magnetic resonance elastography of liver in healthy Asians: normal liver stiffness quantification and reproducibility assessment.

Purpose: To determine normal liver stiffness values evaluated with magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in healthy normal Asian volunteers and assess its reproducibility.

Materials And Methods: Liver stiffness was evaluated with MRE in 41 healthy Asians (23 females, 18 males; mean age, 41.8 years, and mean body mass index [BMI], 23.

Imaging paradigms in assessment of rectal carcinoma: loco-regional and distant staging.

The role of imaging in the management of rectal malignancy has progressively evolved and undergone several paradigm shifts. Unlike a few decades ago when the role of a radiologist was restricted at defining the longitudinal extent of the tumour with barium enema, recent advances in imaging techniques permit highly accurate locoregional and distant staging of the disease as well as prognostication on those who are likely to have a postoperative recurrence. Computed tomography (CT) has always been the mainstay of imaging when evaluating for distant metastasis, with the advent of positron emission tomography/CT improving its specificity.
