Subpleural lung tumors ultrasonography.Rednic, Nicolae; Orăşan, Olga; Orasan, Olga//Medical Ultrasonography;Mar2010, Vol. 12 Issue 1, p81The assessment of patients with pulmonary focal abnormalities continues to represent an important problem in pulmonary diagnosis. A large number of lung nodules remains undetermined after bronchoscopy, radiological and CT imaging analysis. Ultrasound can contribute to the determination of the...
Testicular Cancer.//Current Medical Literature: Urology;2010, Vol. 16 Issue 3, p81The article presents a study concerning the treatment and diagnosis of testicular cancer. The study, conducted at the Medical University Innsbruck in Innsbruck, Austria, focuses on the role of routine scrotal ultrasonography on patients with testicular cancer in earlier diagnosis and treatment...
Transhepatic intravascular ultrasound for evaluation of portal venous involvement in patients with cancer of the pancreatic head region.Hannesson, P.; Lundstedt, C.; Dawiskiba, S.; Stridbeck, H.; Ihse, I.; Hannesson, P H//European Radiology;May2002, Vol. 12 Issue 5, p1150The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of intravascular ultrasound to diagnose tumor involvement of the portal and the superior mesenteric veins using the preoperative percutaneous, transhepatic approach, and to compare the findings with those made at concomitant direct portography,...
High-intensity focused ultrasound for the treatment of solid tumor: Chinese clinical experience.Takeuchi, Akira; Hong Zhang; Kun Sun; Hasumura, Hiromi; Botao Liu; Yurui Fu; Zaocheng Yang//AIP Conference Proceedings;2006, Vol. 829 Issue 1, p499As a non-invasive modality, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy has been received an interest for the treatment of solid tumor. There are some makers of HIFU for the equipment in China. The Sonic CZ901 is developed from the Mianyang stream that has a great advantage for guiding by...
Metanephric adenoma of the kidney: case report.Hwang, S.S.; Choi, Y.J.//Abdominal Imaging;May/Jun2004, Vol. 29 Issue 3, p309Metanephric adenoma is an extremely rare, epithelial, renal tumor with characteristic histology. This tumor is invariably benign. We report a case of metanephric adenoma diagnosed by ultrasound-guided needle biopsy.
A Pilot Study Investigating the Potential of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound to Treat Tumours Rapidly.Cranston, Jonathan M.; Rivens, Ian; ter Haar, Gail; Kennedy, James//AIP Conference Proceedings;2007, Vol. 911 Issue 1, p382The aim of this project was to investigate the possibility of rapid tumour destruction by a novel method of treating the periphery of a tumour and inducing ischemia by impeding the blood supply. Ex vivo experiments were initially carried out in bovine liver to determine the optimum conditions...
Intratumoral macrophages contribute to epithelial-mesenchymal transition in solid tumors.//BMC Cancer;2012, Vol. 12 Issue 1, p35The article discusses a study which examined whether intratumoral macrophages contribute to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in solid tumors. In this study, researchers depleted macrophages in F9-teratocarcinoma bearing mice using clodronate-liposomes and analyzed the tumors for...
