Introduction: Diagnosing and managing biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer (PCa) following primary radical treatment remain a challenge. Implementing next-generation imaging (NGI) techniques has improved metastases detection. However, access to these techniques is heterogeneous, and controversies surround their use and subsequent treatment decisions. In November 2023, a multidisciplinary expert meeting was organized to discuss these aspects. This information was further reviewed in November 2024.
Areas Covered: NGI-specific tracers' selection, evidence supporting patient selection for NGI after BRC, current treatment strategies in patients with BRC, and the role of NGIs in current and future therapeutic approaches.
Expert Opinion: Despite improved detection performance compared to conventional imaging techniques, the application of NGIs to treatment decision-making and the impact on patient outcomes are yet to be proven. Given the lack of guidance, opinions and recommendations from multidisciplinary expert panels are valuable for diagnosing and adequately treating patients with BRC after radical treatment.

Background: Lung cancer associated with cystic airspaces (LCCA) is a rare occurrence and frequently remains undetected in imaging tests. The diagnosis and treatment of this disease are often delayed due to the lack of comprehension. We aimed to clarify clinicopathological characteristics and investigate the molecular features of LCCA patients.

Digital pathology is a tool of rapidly evolving importance within the discipline of pathology. Whole slide imaging promises numerous advantages; however, adoption is limited by challenges in ease of use and speed of high-quality image rendering relative to the simplicity and visual quality of glass slides. Herein, we introduce Iris, a new high-performance digital pathology rendering system.

Here, we have designed next-generation RBFs based on the underexplored bimane fluorophore through either changing in aryl substitution or varying π-linkages between the rotatable electron donors and acceptors to produce red-shifted fluorescence emissions with large Stokes shifts. RBFs exhibit a twisted intramolecular charge transfer mechanism that enables control of polarity and viscosity sensitivity, as well as target selectivity.

Background: Immunotherapy and radiotherapy play crucial roles in the transformation therapy of locally advanced pancreatic cancer; however, the exploration of effective predictive biomarkers has been unsatisfactory. With the rapid development of radiomics, next-generation sequencing, and machine learning, there is hope to identify biomarkers that can predict the efficacy of transformative treatment for locally advanced pancreatic cancer through simple and non-invasive clinical methods. Our study focuses on using computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), gene mutations, and baseline carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199) to identify biomarkers for predicting the efficacy of transformative treatment.

HfO/ZrO-based ferroelectrics present tremendous potential for next-generation non-volatile memory due to their high scalability and compatibility with silicon technology. Unlike the continuous polar layers in perovskite ferroelectrics, HfO/ZrO-based ferroelectrics are composed of alternating polar layers with oxygen shifts and non-polar spacers, which leads to a distinct ferroelectric switching mechanism. However, directly observing the switching process has been a big challenge due to the polymorph feature of nanoscale fluorites and the difficulty in in situ imaging on light elements.
