Article Synopsis
- * The study involved two stages with over 15,000 participants from diverse backgrounds and used advanced statistical models to analyze genetic variants in relation to DKD.
- * Researchers discovered four significant genetic loci linked to DKD, particularly noting a rare variant in the DIS3L2 gene that greatly increases the risk of developing the disease, providing new insights into DKD's molecular mechanisms.
Background: The purpose of this prospective study was to identify if F-18-fluorodeoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (F-18-FDG PET) was a reliable noninvasive surrogate of histologic response in determining the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgical resection in primary osteosarcoma.
Methods: Between January 2003 and December 2003, 10 patients with primary osteosarcomas were examined using F-18-FDG PET before neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery. The mean age at the time of first intervention was 19 years (range, 4-47 years).
