View Article and Find Full Text PDFAnterior mediastinal masses include a wide spectrum of malignant and benign pathologies with a large percentage represented by thymic lesions. Distinguishing these masses on diagnostic imaging is fundamental to guide the proper management for each patient. This review illustrates possibilities and limits of different imaging modalities to diagnose a lesion of the anterior mediastinum with particular attention to thymic disease.

- - The study aimed to evaluate how well the maximum tumour diameter (D-max) reduction rate observed through CT scans can predict the histopathological tumour regression grade (TRG) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer.
- - Eighty-six patients with resectable advanced gastric cancer were analyzed, undergoing staging and restaging CT scans after receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy and undergoing surgery, with results showing a promising correlation between D-max measurements and TRG.
- - The findings indicated high sensitivity and specificity for different Becker TRG grades based on D-max reduction rates, suggesting that D-max can be a reliable radiological indicator for predicting treatment response in these patients.
