Spontaneous necrosis and regression of focal nodular hyperplasia.
Diagn Interv Imaging
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to improve the non-invasive classification of hepatocellular adenomas (HCA) using a diagnostic model that combines basic clinical features (age and sex) with MRI-radiomics data.
- - Researchers analyzed MR images of HCA to extract textural features and tested their model against both qualitative and automatic analysis, resulting in varying accuracies for subtyping HCA.
- - Findings suggest that machine learning can enhance HCA subtyping accuracy, particularly when more patients are included in future studies, indicating a promising direction for improved diagnosis and management.
Article Synopsis
- Sonic hedgehog hepatocellular adenoma (shHCA) presents a unique challenge due to its high risk of hemorrhage and specific associations such as obesity and female gender.
- This study examined MRI scans from 29 patients, identifying potential imaging characteristics linked to shHCA, including the presence of fluid-filled cavities.
- Results indicate that MRI can help in diagnosing shHCA, revealing that nearly half of the cases displayed fluid-filled cavities, a finding that could enhance future diagnostic strategies.
The Crying Need for a Better Response Assessment in Rectal Cancer.
Curr Treat Options Oncol
November 2023
Since total neoadjuvant treatment achieves almost 30% pathologic complete response, organ preservation has been increasingly debated for good responders after neoadjuvant treatment for patients diagnosed with rectal cancer. Two organ preservation strategies are available: a watch and wait strategy and a local excision strategy including patients with a near clinical complete response. A major issue is the selection of patients according to the initial tumor staging or the response assessment.

We conducted a retrospective case-control study including CD patients who underwent surgery: cases were diagnosed with SBN on histopathological analysis and controls had no neoplasia.
