Accelerated RT improves lung cancer survival
By AuntMinnieEurope.com staff writers
Patients diagnosed with non-small cell or small cell lung cancer that has not metastasized have better overall survival outcomes when treated with hyperfractionated or accelerated radiation therapy (RT), according to a new meta-analysis.

CT explores size, growth of ground-glass nodules
By Eric Barnes
Two studies recently published online in Radiology yield important new information about CT-detected part-solid lung nodules. Mass measurements of ground-glass nodules are the most accurate, say Dutch researchers, but a Korean group found that most part-solid nodules disappear over time -- and do so in predictable ways.

Caution urged on early mammography for high-risk women
By Edward Susman
Women at high risk of breast cancer should be cautious about undergoing mammography or other chest x-ray studies before the age of 30 due to the risk that radiation exposure might trigger cancer, according to research presented at last week's RSNA meeting in Chicago.
