Article Synopsis
- A phase II clinical study evaluated the effectiveness of a treatment combo (ibrutinib, bendamustine, and rituximab) in patients with relapsed or refractory aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma after stem cell transplants or in elderly patients.
- The study showed a 49.1% overall response rate among patients who received at least one cycle, with better outcomes for those with relapsed disease (72.3%) versus refractory disease (37.8%).
- Patients experiencing complete or partial responses had significantly longer median overall survival of 28.1 months, while common side effects included fatigue, diarrhea, and nausea, indicating that the treatment is both safe and effective for those needing potential transplantation.
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most diagnosed cancer in men. In recent years, nuclear medicine has played an expanding role in diagnosing, staging, monitoring, and treating PCa. Specifically, the introduction of prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/computed tomography has significantly contributed to detecting locoregional and distant disease.

We investigated the ability of F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) radiomic features to predict the pathological response to neoadjuvant treatment in patients with esophageal cancer.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of medical records of patients with locally advanced resectable esophageal or esophagogastric junctional cancers.
A 67-year-old woman underwent staging 18 F-FDG PET/CT scan for recently diagnosed breast cancer. Her scan showed a highly hypermetabolic right breast mass, with ipsilateral hypermetabolic axillary lymph nodes. The contralateral axillary lymph nodes were also enlarged with avid FDG uptake, alongside focal increased uptake in the left deltoid muscle.
