Less Toxic Radiotherapy Designed for HPV-Positive Oropharynx Cancer
Researchers have completed a phase II clinical trial that may help identify those patients with human papilloma viruses -positive oropharyngeal cancer who do not require the full radiation dose given in a conventional course of intensity-modulated radiation therapy. More...12 Jun 2013
Low Radiation Scans Help Identify Cancer in Earliest Stages
A study of US veterans at high risk for developing lung cancer demonstrated that low-dose computed tomography imaging can be very successful in helping clinicians detect very small lung nodules that, in a small number of patients, may indicate the earliest stages of the disease. More...06 Jun 2013
Plasmin Delivered with Ultrasound Bubble-Busting Technology More Effective Busting Clots Than TPA
A new study has revealed that when delivered with the use of ultrasound, the natural enzyme plasmin is more effective at dissolving stroke-causing blood thromboses than the current standard of care, recombinant tissue plasminogen-activator. More...04 Jun 2013
