- The study aimed to assess how effective diffusion-weighted whole-body imaging with background body signal suppression (DWIBS) is compared to PET-CT for staging malignant lymphoma.
- Twenty-three patients with malignant lymphomas underwent both DWIBS and PET-CT, with specific criteria established for evaluating node involvement and extranodal disease.
- The results showed a high level of agreement between the two imaging techniques for lymph node and organ analysis, indicating that DWIBS is a reliable alternative for pre-treatment staging in malignant lymphoma.
Objective: To test the hypothesis that signet ring cell (SRC) histology has a negative prognostic value in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma (ADC).
Summary Background Data: In western countries, gastric ADC with SRC often occurs after the disease has advanced. Consequently, the prognosis of SRC is generally regarded as poor, although survival studies comparing SRC and non-SRC have yielded inconsistent results.
Vasectomy is recognized as an efficient method of contraception. However, some recent findings have suggested that vasectomy may raise a potential health risk, notably related to prostate cancer. The goal of the present study is to evaluate the spatial and temporal evolution of this surgical practice in Québec (Canada).
