Cancer Cell Metabolism Kills
Apr 17, 2013
ATP is the main energy currency of cells and one might expect that not only contracting muscle, but also uncontrollably dividing cancer cells would have a high demand for ATP. However, for some reason cancer cells have re-programmed their metabolic engines to produce less ATP... Read More

Expanding Obstetric And Breast Imaging Programs In Underserved Area Of Uganda
Apr 16, 2013
Radiologists are a step closer to implementing a program in an underserved region of Uganda for diagnosing and treating women with palpable breast masses. The program combines a unique diagnostic algorithm along with targeted community outreach, said medical student Chris Duncan working with the organization Imaging the World... Read More
Detection Of Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma Improved By Tomosynthesis In Women At Increased Risk Of Breast Cancer
Apr 16, 2013
Tomosynthesis (3D mammography) is better able to show infiltrating ductal carcinoma than 2D mammography in women at increased risk of breast cancer, a new study shows. As part of the study, six breast imaging specialists reviewed both 2D and 3D mammography images of 56 cancers diagnosed in patients at intermediate or high risk of breast cancer... Read More
