The results could pave the way for easier treatments and better outcomes.January 29, 2013Radiation Oncology/TherapyBlacks treated less, die sooner from advanced colon cancerWhen it comes to advanced metastatic colorectal cancer, blacks are less likely to be referred for treatment, less likely to receive it, and more likely to die sooner than whites, according to a study presented on Saturday at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium.January 28, 2013CTASCO GI: CT unnecessary for staging early gastric cancerSAN FRANCISCO - CT is unnecessary for staging gastric cancer owing to its poor sensitivity for diagnosing nodal involvement and the rarity of metastasis in patients with stage T1 disease, according to a Thursday presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2013 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium.January 24, 2013Previous PagePage 71 of 258Next PageTop StoriesDigital X-RayChest x-rays reveal atherosclerosis in patients undergoing amputationsLower limb amputation is an increasingly common major complication of advanced peripheral arterial disease and diabetes mellitus.MRI3D MRI technique helps plan treatment for pediatric heart conditionsWomens ImagingCould AI scoring help with managing DCIS?CTClinicians, beware: CT diagnostic accuracy varies by adnexal lesion typePractice ManagementRadiology coding update for 2026
