Early Feasibility of Registration of Micro‐PET/CT Scans to Annotated 3D Specimen Models

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Intraoperative 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose (18F‐FDG) micro‐positron emission tomography/computed tomography (micro‐PET/CT) is an emerging modality for margin assessment. Prior to clinical use, micro‐PET/CT margin distances must be correlated with gold‐standard histopathology.

Gene signatures characterizing driver mutations in lung squamous carcinoma are predictive of the progression of pre‐cancer lesions

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is more aggressive than lung adenocarcinoma, and is most often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Here, the authors evaluated gene expression data from LUSC tumors and came up with gene signatures for 34 genetic abnormalities whose expression changes throughout different precancerous stages. Several of these
