While early detection of breast cancer is critical, early prediction of how well the neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment before surgery is working also may provide a window of opportunity when treatment could be altered and have a big impact on the patient s quality of life.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis has found that combining data from tumor biomarkers, ultrasound, and ultrasound-guided diffuse optical tomography (DOT) after a patient s first cycle of pre-surgical neoadjuvant chemotherapy provided a highly accurate prediction of how the tumor was responding to the treatment.

Washington [US], June 4 (ANI): Combining data from tumor biomarkers, ultrasound, and ultrasound-guided diffuse optical tomography (DOT) after a patient s first cycle of pre-surgical neoadjuvant chemotherapy provided a highly accurate prediction of how the tumor was responding to the treatment, finds an interdisciplinary team of researchers at Washington University in St.Louis.

Nearly 1,400 members of the Class of 2020 returned to the Washington University campus on Sunday, May 30, to celebrate an in-person Commencement on Francis Olympic Field.
Washington [US], May 30 (ANI): During a recent study, a multidisciplinary team at Washington University in St. Louis developed a new brain stimulation technique using focused ultrasound that is able to turn on and off specific types of neurons in the brain. It can even precisely control motor activity without surgical device implantation.
