Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Kayoko Kuwana"
- Kayoko Kuwana's research primarily focuses on the utility of advanced imaging techniques such as FDG-PET/CT and hyperthermia in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, emphasizing the importance of improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
- In her investigation on hyperthermia for local recurrence of breast cancer, Kuwana highlights its effectiveness when combined with chemotherapy or radiation therapy, particularly for patients suffering from superficial recurrences and related complications.
- Her study on the long-term outcomes of patients with early-stage breast cancer demonstrates the viability of avoiding axillary lymph node dissection in clinically negative cases, potentially leading to less invasive treatment methods and improved patient well-being.
