Beyond fluorodeoxyglucose: Molecular imaging of cancer in precision medicine
Abstract Cancer molecular imaging is the noninvasive visualization of a process unique to or altered in neoplasia, such as proliferation, glucose metabolism, and receptor expression, which is relevant to patient management. Several molecular imaging modalities are now available, including magnetic resonance, optical, and nuclear imaging.

Elevated Risk of Thyroid Malignancy in Biological Males Taking Estrogen Hormone Therapy
Abstract Objective The role of estrogen in developing thyroid malignancy is poorly understood. Epidemiological studies have shown exogenous estrogen is associated with increased risk in females. Still, no studies to date have investigated this association among biological males undergoing estrogen hormone therapy.

Transient elevated serum prolactin in trans women is caused by cyproterone acetate treatment [PDF]
Purpose: Hormone treatment in trans women in Europe usually consists of the administration of estrogens and antiandrogens, for example, cyproterone acetate (CPA). Mild serum prolactin elevations during follow-up are attributed to estrogen therapy.
