PSMA PET scans significantly enhance detection and staging of prostate cancer, improving patient stratification and survival outcomes. Three FDA-approved PSMA PET scans are available, aiding in both ...

PET scans were helpful in determining which patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer may be able to skip chemotherapy. Treating patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer based on positron ...

A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging technique that uses small amounts of radioactive substances. Doctors may use PET scans in chemotherapy treatments for cancer. PET scans help ...

A PET scan is often used to help determine a cancer diagnosis. A positron emission tomography (PET) scan uses a tracer with low levels of radiation to find places in your body where cells are ...

PET scans can light up tumors in the body and help doctors determine if they are cancerous or benign (noncancerous). The results of a PET scan help guide medical decisions. A PET scan is a type of ...
