Article Synopsis
- Current percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB) systems face challenges, prompting the development of a new registration-free navigation system aimed at improving accuracy and efficiency in CT-guided procedures.
- A study with 98 participants showed this new system achieved an impressive primary biopsy success rate of 98.98% with significantly fewer CT scans and a short procedure time of about 18 minutes.
- While the system is deemed effective and safe, it did record few adverse events, primarily hemorrhage and pneumothorax, highlighting the importance of monitoring during clinical use.*
Purpose: This comprehensive review aims to provide a unique clinical perspective on the latest advances and ongoing boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) trials for various cancers.
Methods: We critically analyzed clinical data from BNCT trials for head and neck cancer, glioblastoma, melanoma, meningioma, breast cancer, and liver tumors. We investigated differences in tumor responses and normal tissue toxicities among trials and discussed potential contributing factors.
This study aimed to investigate prospective memory impairment in patients with breast cancer with different expression of hormone receptors, including the estrogen receptor (ER) and the progesterone receptor (PR).A total of 120 patients with breast cancer who underwent chemotherapy following surgery were divided into 2 groups. The A group included 60 patients with ER/PR status, and the B group included 60 patients with ER/PR status.
