Laser-based methods are widely used as part of diagnostic testing to provide non-invasive alternatives to biopsies whilst still recovering molecular-level information that can be used for an accurate diagnosis.

Researchers stress the importance of vaccination for pregnant women to avoid catastrophic outcomes of childbirth.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, in-utero transmission of SARS-CoV-2 remains a rarity and only very few cases have been proven across the world. Here we depict the clinical, laboratory and radiologic findings of preterm triplets born at 28 6/7 weeks to a mother who contracted COVID-19 just one week before delivery. The triplets showed SARS-CoV-2 positivity right after birth, developed significant leukopenia and early-onset pulmonary interstitial emphysema. The most severely affected...

Spectroscopic methods, including Raman spectroscopy, are ideal for the non-invasive imaging of tumors. Spatially resolved versions of the techniques can be used to profile the full tumor site and the spectral information provided at each imaging point can then be decomposed to provide chemical information on the local region.

Osimertinib will be made available via the Cancer Drugs Fund (CDF) to patients in England with completely resected early-stage IB-IIIA EGFR mutation-positive (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).1

AstraZeneca: ASTRAZENECA SECURES LICENSE EXTENSION AND EARLY NHS ENGLAND ACCESS TO TAGRISSO - (osimertinib) FOR PATIENTS WITH COMPLETELY RESECTED EARLY-STAGE EGFR MUTATION-POSITIVE NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER 1 AstraZeneca, NHS England and NICE have reached an agreement to enable early access to osimertinib for patients with this type of cancer, while NICE undertakes its appraisal. Patients with early-stage lung cancer are treated with the intention of cure; however, many relapse because treatm...

  In the ADAURA Phase III trial, chemotherapy use was balanced across the two treatment arms, with 60% of patients receiving prior adjuvant chemotherapy. In line with uptake observed in prior studies and clinical practice, younger patients (
