Focal colorectal uptake in (18)FDG-PET/CT: maximum standard uptake value as a trigger in a semi-automated screening setting.
BACKGROUND Focal colorectal uptake in (18)FDG-PET/CT may be associated with a malignancy and can be quantified. This provides the basis for an automatic trigger threshold above which cases are flagged for colonoscopic evaluation and below which for individual assessment. PURPOSE To determine the lowest maximum standard uptake (SUVmax) in colorectal cancer that could be used as a threshold to ...
متن کاملInequality in Bladder Cancer Screening Uptake: A Cross-Sectional Study in Urban Population
Background and Objective: Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignancies of the urinary system. An important source of health disparities is related to early cancer detection strategies. The aim of the present study was to determine the inequality in bladder cancer screening uptake. Materials and Methods: The current research was a cross-sectional study that was conducted among 1760 peo...
متن کاملPersonal navigation increases colorectal cancer screening uptake.
BACKGROUND Prior randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) indicate that patient navigation can boost colorectal cancer screening rates in primary care. The sparse literature on pragmatic trials of interventions designed to increase colorectal cancer screening adherence motivated this trial on the impact of a patient navigation intervention that included support for performance of the participants' ...
متن کاملRepeatability of the Maximum Standard Uptake Value (SUVmax) in FDG PET
OBJECTIVE SUVmax is often calculated at FDG PET examinations in systematic studies as well as at clinical examinations. Since SUVmax represents a very small portion of a lesion it may be questioned how statistically reliable the figure is. This was studied by assessing the repeatability of SUVmax between two FDG acquisitions acquired immediately upon each other in patients with chest lesions. ...
متن کاملSelf-perceived Mental Health Status and Uptake of Fecal Occult Blood Test for Colorectal Cancer Screening in Canada: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background While colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most preventable causes of cancer mortality, it is one of the leading causes of cancer death in Canada where CRC screening uptake is suboptimal. Given the increased rate of mortality and morbidity among mental health patients, their condition could be a potential barrier to CRC screening due to greater difficulties in adhering to behaviours...
