The Potential Role of 99mTc-FAPI SPECT/CT in the Staging of Mucinous Appendiceal Adenocarcinoma

We present a 55‑year‑old woman with adnexal masses and elevated CEA. Malignancy workup, adnexal biopsy, and intraoperative assessment revealed the appendix as the primary site, with pathology confirming mucinous adenocarcinoma. While mucinous tumors often show limited avidity on...

Abstract Background Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common macrovascular complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) associated with substantial morbidity. The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a simple, non-invasive, and widely recommended tool for PAD screening, while al...

Relationship between radiosensitivity of peripheral blood lymphocytes, breast cancer cells, and breast cancer stem cells in patients with breast cancer
