Predicting risk of malignancy in adnexal masses.
OBJECTIVE To estimate the accuracy of preoperative ultrasonography, serum CA 125, and patient demographics as a means of predicting risk of malignancy in women with a ultrasonographically confirmed adnexal mass. METHODS Tumor morphology derived from ultrasonographic images, tumor size, tumor bilaterality, serum CA 125, and patient demographics were evaluated preoperatively in 395 patients und...
متن کاملDiagnosis of localized, screen-detected, prostate cancer--crisis or opportunity?

متن کاملFDG-PET parameters predicting mediastinal malignancy in lung cancer
BACKGROUND Staging of mediastinal lymph nodes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is mandatory. The maximum Standard Uptake Value (SUVmax) obtained using F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is the best non-invasive technique available for this evaluation, but its performance varies from center to center. The aim of the present study was to identify FDG-PET predictor...
متن کاملManagement of lung nodules detected by volume CT scanning.
BACKGROUND The use of multidetector computed tomography (CT) in lung-cancer screening trials involving subjects with an increased risk of lung cancer has highlighted the problem for the clinician of deciding on the best course of action when noncalcified pulmonary nodules are detected by CT. METHODS A total of 7557 participants underwent CT screening in years 1, 2, and 4 of a randomized trial...
