[F]CTT1057 is a highly selective prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted PET radiotracer for prostate cancer (PCa) detection. This prospective study (GuideView, NCT04838626) evaluates the imaging efficacy of [F]CTT1057 PET to detect PSMA-positive lesions against histopathology in patients with newly diagnosed, untreated, high-risk PCa. Between September 7, 2021, and October 26, 2023, 201 patients planned for radical prostatectomy were screened and 195 patients were enrolled. Of these, 184 patients received a median of 355 MBq (range, 195-400 MBq) of [F]CTT1057 and underwent PET/CT 90 min (±30 min) later. Three masked central independent readers evaluated the images. Coprimary endpoints were patient-level sensitivity (including primary tumor and pelvic lymph nodes) and region-level specificity (including pelvic lymph nodes only) for detection of PSMA-positive lesions, using histopathology as the standard of truth. The lower-bound 95% CI needed to surpass 50% for patient-level sensitivity and 70% for region-level specificity. Success was defined as at least 2 of 3 central readers meeting these criteria. Secondary endpoints included the patient-level and region-level positive predictive value and accuracy, region-level sensitivity, inter- and intrareader variability, detection rate of distant metastasis, pharmacokinetics, and safety and tolerability assessments. Of the 184 patients who received [F]CTT1057, 172 patients were evaluable for efficacy. Among these, a median of 19 lymph nodes (interquartile range, 13.0-28.5 lymph nodes) were dissected per patient. Both coprimary endpoints were met, with lower bounds of 95% CIs surpassing the success criteria for all 3 readers for both patient-level sensitivity (range, 86.8%-90.0%; lower-bound 95% CI, 80.7%-84.5%) and region-level specificity (97.1%; lower-bound 95% CI, 92.7%). Interreader variability Fleiss κ was 63.9%; intrareader reproducibility Cohen κ was 89.4%-100%. [F]CTT1057 had a favorable safety profile. GuideView confirmed the imaging efficacy of [F]CTT1057 for the detection of PSMA-positive lesions, with high patient-level sensitivity and region-level specificity. Substantial interreader variability and almost perfect intrareader reproducibility suggest that [F]CTT1057 findings are robust and reliable. [F]CTT1057 will contribute to expanding access to PSMA PET imaging to properly diagnose and treat patients with PCa.

Advances in intracoronary imaging have made it possible to distinguish different pathological mechanisms underlying acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in vivo. Accurate identification of these mechanisms is increasingly recognized as essential for enabling tailored therapeutic strategies. ACS pathogenesis is primarily classified into 2 major types: plaque rupture (PR) and plaque erosion (PE).

Introduction: Mitotic figure (MF) density has been established as a key biomarker for certain tumors. Recently, the differentiation between atypical MFs (AMF) and normal MFs (NMFs) has gained increased interest in research, as AMFs density could be an independent biomarker. This results in the challenge of finding an automated, deterministic way to differentiate between AMFs and NMFs.

Background: Bone metastases of lung cancer typically indicate disease progression and poor prognosis. Early and accurate detection is crucial for staging, treatment planning, and prognostic evaluation. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic value of gallium 68-labeled fibroblast-activation protein inhibitor-04 ([Ga]Ga-FAPI-04) and fluorine 18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose ([F]FDG) positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging in detecting bone metastases in lung cancer.

AimsThis study hypothesized that greater continuity of care (CoC) would be associated with lower all-cause healthcare resource utilization and improved overall survival (OS) among patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL) among patients who received covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (cBTKi)-based therapy.MethodsOptum's de-identified Clinformatics® Data Mart Database was used for this retrospective study. Patient-level CoC measured by continuity of hematologist/oncologist provider care was evaluated using published measures; the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) was the primary measure (range 0 = no continuity to 1.

Background: Papilledema and other optic neuropathies are critical findings in neuro-ophthalmology that require timely and accurate diagnosis. This study evaluates the performance of a deep learning system (DLS) to identify papilledema and other optic neuropathies, when applied to a large dataset of retinal photographs acquired prospectively with a handheld nonmydriatic camera in a neuro-ophthalmology department.
Methods: International multiethnic, multicenter study including 20,533 retinal photographs (10,647 patients) from 31 centers worldwide.
