A targeted antiferromagnetic nanoprobe for ultra‐sensitive magnetic resonance imaging detection of sub‐millimeter esophageal tumors

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
We developed a cyclo‐RGD peptide‐conjugated antiferromagnetic nanoparticle (RANP) as a targeted T1 contrast agent. Under 9 T MRI conditions, RANP exhibited an r1 value of 1.88 mM−1 s−1 and a low r2/r1 ratio of 1.84, enabling the detection of esophageal tumors as small as 0.8 mm in vivo. Abstract Early, non‐invasive detection of esophageal cancer at sub‐

Adjuvant nivolumab after chemoradiotherapy and resection for patients with esophageal cancer: A real‐world matched comparison of overall survival

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Patients with esophageal or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer with residual disease after treatment with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) and resection frequently experience poor survival. Improvements in outcome, however, may be possible using adjuvant treatment with nivolumab.
