Novel quantitative software for automatically excluding red bone marrow on whole-body magnetic resonance imaging in patients with metastatic prostate cancer: A pilot study.

Objectives: To establish a novel quantitative method that automatically excludes the red bone marrow and accurately quantifies the tumor volume on whole-body magnetic resonance imaging using updated imaging software. To also evaluate the association between the quantified tumor volume and the prognosis of patients with metastatic prostate cancer.

Methods: This prospective analysis included patients diagnosed with metastatic hormone-sensitive or metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer between 2017 and 2022.

Radiation Therapy for Advanced Mucinous Carcinoma of the Breast With a Malignant Wound: A Case Report.

Patients with breast cancer who refuse standard treatment often suffer from malignant wounds due to the growth of local tumors. However, treatment strategies for patients with unresectable locally advanced breast cancer who refuse standard treatment remain unclear. Usually, such cases are treated with palliative irradiation and do not achieve local control by irradiation alone.

Evaluation of Tumor Viability for Primary and Bone Metastases in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Using Whole-Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

In contrast to bone scan and computed tomography (CT), which depend on osteoblastic response to detect bone metastasis, whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) may be able to directly detect viable tumors. A 75-year-old male who had progressive metastatic prostate cancer during primary androgen deprivation therapy was referred to our hospital. Although bone scan and CT showed multiple bone metastases, WB-MRI suggested nonviable bone metastasis and viable tumor of the primary lesion.

[A case of cardiac angiosarcoma successfully treated with docetaxel].

We report a case of angiosarcoma of the right atrium presenting superior vena cava syndrome. The patient was a 61-year-old man. Echocardiography, CT and MRI revealed a tumor arising in the anterior wall of the right atrium.
