Blinded by the light: molecular imaging in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The early detection and optimal perisurgical management of pancreatic adenocarcinoma are paramount goals in our quest to increase cure rates in this lethal malignancy. Molecular imaging techniques may be the conduit through which new genomic and proteomic discoveries about this disease are brought to the clinic.

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma in a patient with relapsed Hodgkin’s lymphoma
After curative treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, increased risk of certain solid tumors has been reported. To best of our knowledge this is the first report of metachronous pancreatic adenocarcinoma which developed outside the previous radiation field in a patient with relapse Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Herein we present an 81-year-old female who developed pancreatic adenocarcinoma four yea...
متن کاملDifferential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic masses with the quantitative analysis of spectral CT imaging: Initial results
Background: To retrospectively evaluate whether quantitative information derived from spectral imaging can improve the differential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic masses including pancreatic solid pseudopapillary epithelial neoplasms (SPENs), mucin- producing cysts and pseudocysts. Materials and Methods: From June 2015 to October 2017, 56 patients (22 pseudocysts, 18 mucin-producing cysts and 1...
متن کاملAnatomical, Physiological, and Molecular Imaging for Pancreatic Cancer: Current Clinical Use and Future Implications
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is one of the deadliest human malignancies. Early detection is difficult and effective treatment is limited. Verifying the presence of micrometastatic dissemination and vessel invasion remains elusive, limiting radiological staging once this diagnosis is made. Diagnostic imaging provides independent tools to evaluate and characterize the biologic behavior of pancreatic...
متن کاملPRIMARY PANCREATIC LYMPHOMA: A CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW
Primary pancreatic lymphoma is a rare extranodal manifestation of any histopathologic subtype of B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that predominantly involves the pancreas. It comprises less than 0.2% of pancreatic malignancies and less than 0.7% of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. This lymphoma is almost never suspected clinically. It is usually diagnosed by surgical exploration for suspected adenoca...
متن کاملProspective evaluation of pancreatic tumors: accuracy of MR imaging with MR cholangiopancreatography and MR angiography.
PURPOSE To prospectively assess accuracy of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), and MR angiography in patients suspected of having pancreatic tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-six patients suspected of having pancreatic tumors underwent MR imaging (unenhanced and contrast material-enhanced MR, MRCP, and contrast-enhanced MR angiography). Two blinded readers ...
