MRI radiomics help predict cervical cancer treatment outcomes
"Handcrafted" radiomics and deep-learning radiomics based on pretreatment MRI data help predict locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) concurrent chemoradiotherapy treatment outcomes, according to research published January 12 in Scientific Reports.
The study results show promise for tailoring care for patients with this particular cancer, wrote a team led by Sungmoon Jeong, PhD, of Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea.
"Our findings may contribute to the development of personalized treatment strategies for locally advanced cervical cancer patients," the group noted.

ACS: Cancer mortality declines, but incidence rates rise
Overall cancer mortality continues to decline, but incidence rates are up, according to a January 17 report by the American Cancer Society (ACS).
The report shows that there have been more than four million fewer deaths from cancer in the U.S. since 1991. However, it also showed increased incidence for six of the top 10 cancers as the projected number of new diagnoses is over two million for the first time.
“I think we’re all grappling with what the environmental factor that is changing the cancer incidence and mortality among the young," said ACS chief scientific officer William Dahut, MD, at a press conference.

USPSTF-recommended screening leads to less cancer burden
Increasing use of recommended screening strategies could reduce the U.S. cancer burden, according to research published November 22 in JAMA Network Open.
A team led by Amy Knudsen, PhD, from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston found an increase of 10 percentage points in the uptake of lung, colorectal, breast, and cervical cancer screening at their respective starting ages as recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) led to decreased cancer deaths. It highlighted that this could help the U.S. achieve the Cancer Moonshot initiative’s goals.
