Results of a new retrospective study demonstrate the potential of a novel, CT-based deep learning-driven tool to enhance liver cancer diagnosis, treatment planning, and response evaluation.
At the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), three experts presented new approaches and study results for the treatment of breast cancer in young women.
From organ-preserving treatments to chemo-immunotherapy combinations: five studies presented at ESTRO 2025 showcase how radiotherapy is reshaping the treatment landscape for anal and rectal cancer.
Bringing diagnostics and therapy closer together - that is the basic concept behind theranostics. Through further development of its PET/MR scanners, Siemens Healthineers aims to advance this approach. Andreas Schneck, Head of the MRI Division at Siemens Healthineers, talks about the new system, which was also presented at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, and its advantages in…
The incidence of colorectal cancer in young adults has doubled over the last 20 years, with no known reason. Now, a new study links this mysterious trend to childhood exposure to a bacterial toxin.
Radiation therapy is an effective component of many cancer treatments, but some patients experience severe side effects. A new study shows that hyperbaric oxygen therapy can provide long-term relief.
Dr Ari Melnick has been appointed the new Director of the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute by the Board of Trustees. The institute specialises in biomedical research and precision medicine in the field of leukaemia and other hematologic malignancies.
Nuclear medicine (NM), one of the more mature technologies of diagnostic imaging, has been experiencing a rebirth in innovation and interest. The increasing prevalence of cancer,, an aging global population, and greater longevity, has created a robust demand for nuclear medicine. At ECR in Vienna, presenters explored market perspectives, but also safety and sustainability challenges.
A new method to quickly and accurately analyze the structure of collagen in tissue shows promise to improve the diagnostics of cancer and other diseases.
Surgery may not be the best next course of treatment for patients with early-stage breast cancer who had a complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and standard radiotherapy, new research finds.
Researchers discovered a key mechanism by which melanomas and other aggressive tumours prevent the immune system from detecting and attacking them – one of the greatest challenges in oncology today.
Cryoablation, the destruction of malignant cancer cells by freezing them, is increasingly becoming an alternative to having conventional lumpectomy for patients diagnosed with early-stage, localised, low-risk breast cancer. Findings from numerous recent clinical trials show that cancer recurrence rates are very low and are comparable to breast conservation surgery (BCS).
For patients, a liquid biopsy which checks for circulating tumour DNA of colon cancer, resembles a standard blood test. However, the method helps avoid chemotherapy for many, a new study finds.
A new study reveals that AI can accurately rule out negative low-dose CT (LDCT) scans, potentially reducing the workload of radiologists in lung cancer screening by up to 79%.
Late-stage breast cancer patients are more often affected by brain metastases than previously believed, a new study finds. The researchers suggest that MRI screening guidelines should reflect this.
Infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common cause for cervical cancers. Now, researchers have developed a promising therapeutic vaccine against precancerous lesions.
Patients with a common aggressive type of bladder cancer could get correct treatment significantly quicker as new research suggests that initial MRI imaging and biopsy could reduce wait times.
A new personalised oncology platform has been tested to detect circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) in patients with lung adenocarcinoma before surgery, to predict their risk of cancer relapse.
Paediatric brain tumours are difficult to diagnose and treat – especially, when delays occur. A new study explored the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on children with brain tumours.
