Toronto, Ontario—A comparative analysis between FAPI and 18F-FDG PET/CT for the systemic staging of newly diagnosed breast cancer shows that FAPI PET/CT is more accurate in staging patients. Nearly 20 percent of patients were restaged by FAPI PET/CT, indicating the radiotracer’s efficacies and benefits for clinical

Toronto, Ontario—A newly developed chelator can significantly reduce off-target toxicity in prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radiopharmaceutical therapy, according to research presented at the 2024 Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Annual Meeting. By improving the bond between the radioactive metal ion and the PSMA-targeting

LOS ANGELES — A new study guided by a renowned surgeon at City of Hope®, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States, demonstrates that robotic liver surgery can be a safe, outpatient procedure. In fact, 8% of the patients

Toronto, Ontario—A novel AI approach can accurately detect six different types of cancer on whole-body PET/CT scans, according to research presented at the 2024 Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Annual Meeting. By automatically quantifying tumor burden, the new tool can be useful for

Most patients with thyroid eye disease treated with teprotumumab didn’t require additional treatments nearly 2 years later, according to industry-supported research being presented Sunday at ENDO 2024, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Boston, Mass., and published in the journal Thyroid. “Thyroid eye disease is a

Toronto, Ontario—Fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-targeted radioligand therapy is safe and effective for treating patients with progressive metastatic tumors, specifically advanced sarcomas, according to research presented at the 2024 Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Annual Meeting. Studying the largest cohort to date, researchers found

Toronto, Ontario (Embargoed until 9:30 a.m. EDT, Sunday, June 9, 2024)—New data on prolonged prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression and adverse events grouped by safety topic of interest from the PSMAfore study underscore the statistically significant and clinically meaningful radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) benefit of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617

Monoclonal antibodies are crucial therapeutics due to their high specificity and binding affinity for epitopes (the precise sites where an antibody attaches itself to an antigen, triggering an immune response). Since the therapeutic efficacy of antibodies is closely related to their target epitopes, epitope characterization
