Dear AuntMinnie Europe member,
A recent survey of European lung cancer screening experts has revealed significant training gaps among national lung cancer screening programs. Only four of the 14 European countries participating in the Strengthening the Screening of Lung Cancer in Europe (SOLACE) project had established training programs for low-dose CT lung cancer screening.

Long COVID remains a challenging condition. And a new large trial from the U.K. found that multi-organ MRI did not improve patient outcomes.
In other news, adding FDG-PET to contrast-enhanced CT substantially improved the early detection of local tumor progression after treatment of colorectal liver metastases. Also, a Spanish study concluded that the choice of reference region can substantially affect Centiloid-based amyloid PET measurements.
Please see below for our full list of top stories from the week.
