A tumor’s size and location can help doctors determine the cancer stage and most effective treatment, along with other factors. As part of a breast cancer diagnosis, doctors order testing to ...

Cancer staging is the process of determining how much cancer is within the body (tumor size) and if it has spread. For breast cancer, this might take the form of clinical (pre-surgical) staging or ...

In radiation therapy, precision can save lives. Oncologists must carefully map the size and location of a tumor before ...

Research led by the Department of General and Visceral Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Freiburg, Germany has ...

Post-treatment breast MRI often underestimates tumor size in invasive lobular carcinoma, especially with non-mass enhancement ...

Tumor size modeled as a continuous variable in the multivariate Cox regression model demonstrated a similar relationship with risk of cancer-related mortality (hazard ratio, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.18 to ...

This is because the primary tumor continuously releases cancer cells into the blood. These CTCs can join together into small clusters of up to a dozen cells and settle in other organs. There, the ...

Scientists uncover surprising immune response that helps tumors grow, revealing new strategies to improve treatment ...

Real-world data shows a clear association between increased tumor size and mortality in brain cancer patients. Early diagnosis using Dxcover's PANAROMIC liquid biopsy platform can reduce mortality ...

City of Hope co-led the first study to demonstrate that characterizing genetic material near chromosomes forecasts how mutated, cancer-causing genes reengineer DNA and alter the tumor microenvironment ...
