New PET tracer could spot hidden brain tumors in cancer patients
Diagnosis TerminatedThis study tested a special radioactive tracer (68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1) to see if it can find HER2-positive brain metastases on PET/CT scans. Seven adult cancer patients with at least one brain lesion were enrolled. The goal was to compare tracer uptake in HER2-positive versus H…

New imaging agent could help doctors spot hidden tumors
Diagnosis TerminatedThis study tested a new radioactive tracer (68GaNOTA-Anti-MMR-VHH2) that aims to make tumors visible on PET scans by targeting immune cells called macrophages that are often found around cancers. The trial involved 13 adults with advanced solid tumors, breast cancer, or melanoma.…

New PET tracer aims to spot hidden inflammation in cancer and heart disease
Diagnosis TerminatedThis study tested a special imaging agent (68GaNOTA-anti-MMR-VHH2) that uses PET scans to find certain immune cells (macrophages) in the body. It included 29 adults with head and neck cancer, atherosclerosis, lymphoma, or sarcoidosis. The goal was to see if this scan could help p…

Heart enzyme test in elderly surgery patients fails to prove benefit
Knowledge-focused TerminatedThis study looked at whether routinely measuring a heart enzyme (hsTnT) in patients 75 and older having major surgery could predict complications. Researchers tracked enzyme levels and checked if high levels were linked to longer hospital stays or death within 30 days. The study …
