Bevacizumab can be integrated with a standard platform of fluorouracil, hydroxyurea and radiotherapy (FHX) for treatment of poor-prognosis head and neck cancer, according to a phase I dose-escalation study in the April 1 issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Reuters Health Information
By measuring cerebral blood volume (CBV), dynamic susceptibility-weighted contrast-enhanced perfusion MRI can predict the time to progression of high- and low-grade gliomas, according to a report in the May issue of Radiology. Reuters Health Information
Potential radiation exposure from CT scans continues to increase, challenging radiologists to find methods for CT dose reduction. How can radiologists make thoughtful decisions about CT radiation dose Applied Radiology
Although airway fluoroscopy accurately diagnoses the cause of stridor in some children, its low sensitivity may necessitate further diagnostic evaluation of negative results, according to a report in the April issue of the Archives of Otolaryngology--Head and Neck Surgery.
