Study questions SUVmax role in solitary pulmonary nodule malignancy
By Wayne Forrest
Monday, November 28 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSC14-06 | Room S505ABResearchers at Thomas Jefferson University are challenging the traditional belief that a decrease in glucose metabolism demonstrated by a solitary pulmonary nodule during the delayed phase of dual-point FDG-PET/CT indicates that the nodule is benign.

JAMA study confirms ineffectiveness of x-ray chest screening
By Brian Casey
A large-scale study of more than 150,000 individuals has confirmed that screening with chest radiography does not reduce death rates from lung cancer compared to no screening. The study, published in the October 26 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, might be most valuable for the insight it provides into CT lung screening.

CT lung screening gets boost by adding COPD sequence
By James Brice
Low-dose CT lung screening has already demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing mortality from lung cancer. Now, Dutch researchers have found that adding a short sequence to the low-dose CT protocol can help the modality detect chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), according to a study published on Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

SBRT advised in lieu of surgery for elderly NSCLC patients
By Cynthia E. Keen
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a safe alternative to surgery for elderly patients diagnosed with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This is true for patients considered to be medically inoperable and also those healthy enough to have surgery.

Preoperative PET scans help predict prognosis for NSCLC patients
By Wayne Forrest
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with negative histologic results and positive mediastinal lymph node findings on preoperative PET scans have a worse prognosis than patients with negative findings, according to a study in the October issue of Radiology.

Dual-energy beats bone suppression in chest imaging
By Brian Casey
In a face-off of two digital chest x-ray techniques, dual-energy imaging proved better than a bone-suppression algorithm for detecting small lung cancers on computed radiography images. But the difference was small, and bone suppression may still have some advantages, according to an article published September 22 in Radiology.

ASTRO: FDG-PET aids prognosis for NSCLC
By AuntMinnie.com staff writers
Post-treatment FDG-PET scans may be able to predict the prognosis of patients with stage II and III inoperable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to a study presented on October 5 at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) annual meeting in Miami Beach, FL.

Virtual bronchoscopy helps NSCLC patients
By AuntMinnie.com staff writers
German researchers have developed a virtual fly-through 3D FDG-PET/CT bronchoscopy technique that achieves high diagnostic accuracy for detecting regional lymph node metastases in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to a study in the October issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
