PET shows ApoE4 carriers may benefit from earlier AD treatment
PET imaging has revealed brain pathology linked to faster clinical progression of Alzheimer’s disease in patients with ApoE4 gene variants, according to a study published November 6 in JAMA Neurology.Based on PET scans from patients enrolled in previous studies, researchers found that ApoE4 carriers showed an acceleration of amyloid-mediated tau spreading compared with ApoE4 noncarriers. The study provides evidence that these patients may benefit from earlier treatments, suggested lead author Anna Steward, of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, and colleagues.“The timing of therapeutic windows in anti-amyloid thera...

MRI radiomics show promise for identifying Ki-67 breast cancer
MRI radiomics show a high diagnostic accuracy for predicting Ki-67 expression in breast cancer, researchers have found.
The findings are good news for patients when it comes to assessing disease, as Ki-67 is an effective indicator of tumor aggressiveness, wrote a team led by Peyman Tabnak, MD, of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in Tabriz, Iran.
"[Accurate] estimation of Ki-67 is essential for both tumor classification and prognosis prediction," the group noted.
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women, and immunohistochemical biomarkers such as ER, PR, and HER2 have long been used to classify it...
