Inside the award-winning science of SIR 2023
Abstracts of the year PAE continues to show success alleviating urinary tract symptoms from enlarged prostate A large longitudinal study of 1,000 patients confirmed the effectiveness and safety of prostate artery embolization (PAE) for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and urinary retention caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as prostate gland enlargement.
Personalized dosimetry improves survival rates in liver cancer patients Personalizing the radiation treatment dose for each patient with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) improves overall survival, compared to providing the standard dose, according to a long-term analysis of overall survival in the DOSISPHERE-01 trial.
Delivery via hydrogel improves cancer immunotherapy Using a hydrogel to deliver immunotherapy drugs directly into a tumor improved treatment of immune- resistant malignancies, according to researchers at MD Anderson.
Featured abstracts MRI tracking of labeled natural killer cells MRI can track clinically applicable labeled natural killer (NK) cells with a 12-hour labeling time, according to a new study.
A cost-effectiveness analysis of TACE vs. TARE in downstaging HCC A recent modeling-based study compared the cost and outcomes of TACE and TARE for downstaging of HCC in patients who exceeded the Milan criteria but were within the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) criteria for liver transplant.
Using MRI to examine effects of bariatric arterial embolization provides more information about fat loss In a pilot study of seven adults with obesity, patients undergoing bariatric arterial embolization successfully lost body fat without losing lean muscle.
Selective embolization may preserve thoracic duct in pediatric patients Selective lymphatic embolization can be a safe and effective treatment for lymphatic conduction disorders in pediatric patients, according to researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Thoracic duct venous junction lymphoplasty Researchers have found that thoracic duct venous junction lymphoplasty can temporarily improve symptoms in patients with upstream obstructions of the thoracic duct.
Evaluating percutaneous cholangiograms for early exclusion of biliary atresia
In neonatal patients with congenital cholestasis and liver disease, liver biopsies alone often cannot rule out biliary atresia, thus requiring a second invasive intraoperative cholangiogram and additional round of anesthesia to exclude the condition.
