Diagnostic value of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography in staging histological subtypes of invasive bladder cancer

Abstract This study assessed the diagnostic value of [ 18 F]FDG-PET/CT in staging histological subtypes (HSs) of invasive bladder cancer. In 112 patients with ≥ 75% HS-content, 87% of primary tumours were FDG-avid, 9% were non-assessable (due to high FDG-avid urine), and only 5%...

Phase I Dose-Escalation Study Combining Irinotecan-Loaded Drug-Eluting Bead Chemoembolization with Yttrium-90 Glass Microspheres Radioembolization in Colorectal Liver Metastases (DEBIR90Y)

Purpose: To find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of yttrium-90 (90Y) glass microspheres, with drug-eluting beads preloaded with irinotecan (DEBIRI) in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs). Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, participants with bilobar,...
