PSMA-PET/CT again shows prowess for prostate cancer
March 25, 2020 -- Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PMSA)-PET/CT could become the primary modality approach in confirming the extent of prostate cancer and the most efficient way to direct patients to the most appropriate treatment, according to a study published March 22 in the Lancet.

Discuss PET shows connection with widowhood, Alzheimer's decline
February 26, 2020 -- Men and women who had been widowed and who had elevated beta-amyloid levels on PET scans were also more likely to have accelerated cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease, according to a study published online February 26 in JAMA Network Open.

Discuss FDG-PET/CT points to cervical cancer patient outcomes
February 13, 2020 -- Several indicators on pretreatment FDG-PET/CT scans can help predict overall survival in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer and para-aortic lymph node involvement. The markers could help clinicians steer patients toward more aggressive treatment, according to a February 7 study in Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

Discuss PET shows cardiac meds may reduce beta-amyloid buildup
February 12, 2020 -- Patients who were on cardiovascular medications like cholesterol-lowering drugs seem to have lower levels of amyloid burden on PET scans, according to a study published February 7 in JAMA Network Open. The question is whether these findings indicate the individuals are at lower risk for Alzheimer's disease.
