Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Karen T Adams"
- Karen T Adams' research primarily focuses on the clinical characteristics, diagnostic imaging, and genetic underpinnings of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas, particularly those associated with specific genetic mutations such as SDH and MAX.
- Her studies highlight the effectiveness of different imaging modalities, notably Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT, in enhancing the diagnosis and detection of these tumors compared to traditional methods like F-FDG PET/CT and MRI.
- Adams emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and personalized treatment approaches, given the potential for life-threatening complications related to these rare neuroendocrine tumors, and provides insights into genotype-phenotype correlations affecting disease penetrance and clinical outcomes.
