Discovery of circulating cell-free DNA 5hmC biomarkers for peritoneal metastasis in colorectal and appendiceal cancer Open
Introduction Peritoneal metastases (PM) are associated with poor prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) or appendiceal adenocarcinoma (AA), yet detection of PM is unreliable using current circulating DNA technology. Leveraging …

Implementation of a high-resolution, high-contrast magnetic resonance imaging protocol with extended delayed phases for peritoneal mesothelioma Open
High-resolution, high-contrast MRI with extended post-contrast imaging is a viable modality for imaging peritoneal mesothelioma. Multiple, extended (up to 20 min post-contrast) delayed phases are necessary for optimal imaging of peritoneal…
