background: distinction between radiation necrosis and recurrence of intraparenchymal tumors is necessary to select the appropriate treatment, but it is often difficult based on imaging features alone. we developed an algorithm for analyzing magnetic resonance spectroscopy (mrs) findings and studied its accuracy in differentiation between radiation necrosis and tumor recurrence. m e t hod s :  ...

glioblastoma is considered as the most aggressive type of gliomas. its invasive character involves adjacent tissues and hinders the treatment procedure. although surgical resection followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy have been the standard therapeutic protocol, the incompetency of detection methods to delineate the exact tumor margins results in recurrence of the tumor. nkcc1 (sodium-pota...

Introduction: Neurotensin (NT) is a tridecapeptide that binds specifically to neurotensin receptors. Several forms of cancer, including small cell lung cancer, colon, pancreatic and prostate carcinomas especially exocrine pancreatic carcinomas express receptors for neurotensin peptide. Radiolabeled neurotensin derivatives with a high affinity for these receptors might be used for scintigraphy. ...
