Novel Methods to Assess Tumor Burden and Minimal Residual Disease in Genitourinary Cancers.

Eur Urol

Department of Cancer Medicine and INSERM U981, Université Paris-Sud, Université Paris-Saclay, Gustave Roussy, Villejuif, France.

Article Synopsis
  • Advances in molecular diagnostics are transforming how prostate, renal, and urothelial cancers are assessed, offering more accurate detection methods for disease burden and minimal residual disease (MRD).
  • A literature review from 1980-2024 highlights emerging radiographic and molecular tools aimed at improving disease quantification and monitoring through innovative technologies and biomarker-informed trials.
  • New developments, like novel radiotracers and molecular detection methods (e.g., circulating tumor DNA), provide insights into disease mechanisms and have the potential to enhance clinical management, although full MRD application is still in progress.

Scapulothoracic Disorders: Anatomy, Kinematics, Clinical Assessment, and Multimodality Imaging.

From the Department of Musculoskeletal Radiology, Fleury Medicina E Saúde Higienópolis, Rua Mato Grosso 306, 1st Floor, Higienópolis, São Paulo, SP 01239-040, Brazil (I.A.N.d.C., M.C.F., L.N.M.d.S., F.F.A., D.V.C.G., M.A.C.N., J.B.G., A.G.O.F.); Department of Radiology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn (N.G.R.); and Department of Knee Surgery, Instituto Vita Ortopedia e Fisioterapia Higienópolis, São Paulo, Brazil (B.S.).

Shoulder and neck concerns are prevalent musculoskeletal issues prompting medical attention, often stemming from scapulothoracic disorders that can serve as both the cause and consequence of other shoulder abnormalities. Scapular dyskinesis, fractures, benign and malignant masses, and neuropathies are frequently overlooked yet can substantially affect shoulder pain and function, particularly in athletes. Scapulothoracic disorders may lead to and/or be worsened by common shoulder abnormalities including those of the rotator cuff, neighboring bursae, and the glenohumeral articulation and labrum.

Objective: The presence of bone marrow edema on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in pre-collapse osteonecrosis of the femoral head is suggested to be a sign of occult subchondral fracture; however, to our knowledge, there are no histopathological studies verifying this. This study aimed to histopathologically verify the presence of subchondral fracture at the lateral necrotic boundary in symptomatic pre-collapse osteonecrosis of the femoral head with bone marrow edema on MRI.

Materials And Methods: Of 149 consecutive necrotic femoral heads resected during total hip arthroplasty at our hospital from January 2019 to June 2024, we included 13 femoral heads that did not show apparent collapse on preoperative radiographs and exhibited bone marrow edema on MRI.

Low prevalence of occult cancer diagnosis when screening healthy, higher-risk, middle-aged to older dogs.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to discover how common undiagnosed malignant tumors are in healthy middle-aged to older dogs, specifically those aged 5.5 to 11.5 years.
  • - Out of 902 screened dogs, 2.7% were diagnosed with cancer, while an additional 3.3% had abnormalities that could indicate malignancy, raising the total to 6.0% when including suspected cases.
  • - The findings highlight that thorough physical exams, especially with aspiration cytology, are essential for effectively screening for cancer in older dogs.
