New scans aim to predict deadly blood cancer before it strikes

NCT ID NCT01237054

Summary

This study aimed to see if new types of medical scans could better detect when early, pre-cancerous blood conditions progress to full multiple myeloma, a serious blood cancer. Researchers compared three different imaging techniques in 31 people diagnosed with either the early conditions or active myeloma. The goal was to gather knowledge to help predict future cancer risk, not to provide treatment.
