PET tracer performs well in prostate cancer trial
By Will Morton
An experimental PET radiotracer that targets gastrin-releasing peptide receptors (GRPR) on prostate cancer cells has shown promise in a phase II clinical trial in Australia.

Fused PET/CT, maximum-intensity projection PET, and lung-windowed CT images (from left to right) from Cu-64 SAR-BBN (top row) and Ga-68 PSMA-11 (bottom row) PET/CT study of patient demonstrating left subpleural lesion (arrows, SUVmax of 10 at 1 hour) that showed Cu-64 SAR-BBN uptake but no Ga-68 PSMA-11 uptake. PSA was 1.84 ng/mL at time of imaging. This patient underwent lobectomy, with histopathology demonstrating metastatic prostate cancer.

Ultrasound detects more cancers in high-risk women with dense breasts
By Amerigo Allegretto
Supplemental breast ultrasound may have utility in imaging women with dense breasts and high risk of advanced or invasive breast cancer.
August 6, 2024
Sample images show cancer detection at supplemental ultrasound screening after screening mammography with a negative result. (A) Craniocaudal right breast screening mammography shows negative findings in a 54-year-old female patient with extremely dense breast tissue. (B) Coronal view from supplemental screening with automated whole-breast ultrasound image in the same patient four months later shows an irregular hypoechoic mass (dashed yellow circle) in the right breast, diagnosed as invasive ductal carcinoma. (C) Craniocaudal screening right breast mammography shows negative findings in a 74-year-old patient with heterogeneously dense breast tissue. (D) Antiradial gray-scale image in the right breast from supplemental handheld screening ultrasound in the same 74-year-old patient 7 months later demonstrates an irregular hypoechoic mass in the right breast (yellow outline), which yielded a diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma.
