Target Tumors: A Case Study

In our study: statistically, the extent of agreement between dynamic contrast MRI and histopathological staging was almost perfect (κ =0.880) and highly significant (P = 0.001), which is higher compared to the study done by Gupta N. and his colleagues on 60 patients, that resulted in good agreement equals (κ =0.690) and

The tumor board conference I attended was held on Tuesday March 27, 2018 at 7:00 AM, at Northwest Community Hospital. The pathology for the patient I chose was an atypical carcinoid in her lungs.

Malignant and benign tumors can both be viewed radiographically. When viewing a tumor on a film, it may have a hyperostotic line surrounding it. This radiopaque line encloses a slow-growing tumor; a tumor with a hyperostotic line is normally benign. A malignant lesion has a poorly defined border. It invades and perforates the tissue around it.

The National Cancer Moonshot is the Obama Administration’s initiative to facilitate the progress of cancer research. Announced during the 2016 State of the Union, the Moonshot is being headed by Vice President Joe Biden with the goal of doubling the rate of scientific advancement over the next five years. At the moment, the progress is largely organizational and informative as the Vice President hopes to connect large swathes of the scientific community.

Tumors are one of the most feared diseases of our time. Many people upon hearing the word “tumor” immediately resonate to the conclusion of it being cancer, which is not necessarily true. Tumors fall into to two main types, benign and malignant.
