Delaware leads the U.S. in the incidence of triple-negative breast cancer and advanced breast cancer diagnosed at a younger age, ChristianaCare researchers highlighted. Areas of higher intensity, which are visualized in this map with brighter shades of red, have higher historical rates of triple-negative breast cancer diagnosed at an advanced stage among women younger than 50 years relative to other areas within New Castle County, Delaware.

Ultrasound features tied to thyroid microcarcinoma tumor growth

By Amerigo Allegretto

Ultrasonic features are tied to increased risk of tumor progression in patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma undergoing surveillance.

November 1, 2023

Progression of hypervascular tumor with lymph node metastasis in a 64-year-old male participant with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma. (A-C) Baseline ultrasound images. (A) Transverse gray-scale image shows a solid hypoechoic thyroid nodule (arrow) with a maximal diameter of 7 mm. (B) Color Doppler image shows hypervascularity, represented by increased vascularity above that of normal thyroid parenchyma (arrows). (C) Transverse gray-scale image shows a small, probably benign lymph node at left level IV (arrow). (D) Transverse ultrasound image at 12-month follow-up demonstrates a suspicious lymph node (arrow) with increased shortest diameter and punctate echogenic foci (arrowhead). Subsequent fine-needle aspiration for this level IV lymph node revealed a metastatic thyroid papillary carcinoma. Image courtesy of Radiology.

Nine representative patients who underwent F-18 FDG and F-18 FAPI-74 PET imaging. F-18 FAPI-74 PET outperforms F-18 FDG-PET in detecting primary tumors (patients 11, 39, 50, 58, 79, and 101; solid black arrows), local recurrences (patient 4; blue arrows), abdomen LN metastases (patients 4 and 50; green arrows), intrahepatic metastases (patient 50; red arrows), bone metastases (patient 85; arrowheads), and peritoneal metastases (patients 4, 11, 85, 97, and 101; dotted arrows).
