til therapy :: Article Creator TIL Therapy For Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer May Be Effective There is evidence that an emerging type of immunotherapy called TIL therapy may be successful in treating more solid tumors. Research published in Cancer Discovery shows this treatment works in some patients with non-small cell lung cancer. The lead researcher of the multicenter clinical trial was Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) lung cancer specialist Adam Schoenfeld, MD. "The patients who came to us in this trial were very sick and had often exhausted all other options," says Dr. Schoenfeld, a thoracic oncologist, cellular therapist, and early drug development specialist. "The fact that 21% of the non-small cell lung cancer patients responded to TIL therapy is significant. Some patients remained free of cancer relapse for more than two years after the treatment."

radiological diagnosis of cancer :: Article Creator Cancer Diagnosis Cancer diagnosis frequently requires imaging studies that in many cases use small amounts of radiation. Procedures such as X-rays; computed tomography (CT); magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) are important in clinical decision-making, including therapy and follow-up.   Imaging tests – taking pictures of the inside of the body – are of pivotal importance in the diagnosis and management of cancer patients. The use of diagnostic imaging is one of the first steps in the clinical management of cancer. Diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine studies play an important role in the screening, staging (finding out the extent of the cancer, such as how large the tumour is, and if it has spread beyond the primary site), follow-up, therapy planning, evaluation of therapy response and the long-term
