Article Synopsis
- This study assessed the effectiveness of F-fluorocholine (FCH) PET/CT for locating hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) before surgery.
- The research involved 80 patients who underwent FCH PET/CT, comparing the imaging results with histological findings and postoperative outcomes to evaluate the method's diagnostic performance.
- Results showed that FCH PET/CT had a sensitivity of 88% and a positive predictive value of 91%, indicating it is a valuable tool for pre-surgical localization of problematic parathyroid tissue in PHPT patients.*
Background: SRL172 is a suspension of heat killed Mycobacterium vaccae, that has been found to be a potent immunological adjuvant when used with autologous cells in animal models. This is a phase II study to test the clinical activity, feasibility and safety of combining SRL172 with chemotherapy to treat patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
Methods: Patients were randomized to receive chemotherapy with (n=14) or without (n=14) SRL172.
