PSMA-PET/CT before reaching the Phoenix criteria for biochemical recurrent prostatecancer: earlier detection of prostatecancer recurrences with improved outcomes The aim of our study was to examine the detection rate of PCa recurrences in patients with low PSA levels, before reaching the Phoenix criteria for a BCR. Furthermore, we hypothesized that recurrences in these patients could potentially be detected in a more limited stage of disease, enabling options for e.g. local salvage therapies or metastasis-directed therapy (MDT). These therapies could potentially halt further disease progression.
Cancer treatment response evaluation after only 2 weeks? Using 7 Tesla 31P MRSI of liver metastases to evaluate response to systemic treatment of gastric and esophageal cancer – early results of the MAESTRO study. Patients with metastatic gastric and esophageal cancer have a very poor prognosis. The one-year overall survival is 23%. Within the MAESTRO study, the researchers want to find out whether changes in the PME/PDE ratio are associated with treatment response.
Start wave 13 in sight: about 700 colleagues are moving to RDC ADORE The start of wave 13 of lateralization within Amsterdam UMC is in sight.
