Quantification of Osteosarcoma Mineralization on Plain Radiographs – Novel Software Applications to Assess Response to Chemotherapy

Xiaochun Xu, Kimberley S. Samkoe, Megan E. Anderson, Eric R. Henderson Proc SPIE Int Soc Opt Eng. 2020 Feb;11224:112240K. doi: 10.1117/12.2546954. Epub 2020 Feb 25. ABSTRACT Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in children. Patient survival with osteosarcoma is heavily influenced by the response to chemotherapy, measured by tumor necrosis upon histological analysis. Unfortunately, response…Continue Reading Quantification of Osteosarcoma Mineralization on Plain Radiographs – Novel Software Applications to Assess Response to Chemotherapy

Effect of preoperative cancer treatment on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) receptor expression level in ABY-029 guided sarcoma surgery

Xiaochun Xu, Kimberley S. Samkoe, Eric R. Henderson Proc SPIE Int Soc Opt Eng. 2020 Feb;11222:112220Y. doi: 10.1117/12.2546963. Epub 2020 Feb 19. ABSTRACT Surgical excision via wide local excision (WLE) of the primary sarcoma tumor is a mainstay of treatment due to the limited effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation. Even with attempts at WLE, 22-34% of the…Continue Reading Effect of preoperative cancer treatment on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) receptor expression level in ABY-029 guided sarcoma surgery
