This fall, the state-of-the-art UCI Health Outpatient Imaging Center and Breast Health Clinic opened at the UCI Medical Center in Orange. This facility combines advanced imaging technologies like 3D tomosynthesis mammography and automated breast ultrasound with a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to breast care and radiological sciences. Patients benefit from the seamless integration of breast imaging, surgery, and oncology practices—all in one convenient location. This multidisciplinary model ensures faster, more coordinated care, enhancing both diagnostic and treatment outcomes. Here, UCI School of Medicine Division of Breast Imaging Chief Irene Tsai, MD and Department of Radiological Sciences Chair Vahid Yaghmai, MD discuss the planning and preparation behind this center.

** Calling all UK Consultants in Surgery, Anaesthetist, Critical care, Older People Medicine and Healthcare Professionals in Elective Cancer Pathways ** Link: https://lnkd.in/eykz6fsN What is it about? To understand how well current elective cancer pathways are set up for people with multiple long-term conditions or multimorbidity. Why is it important? > Increasingly, we are seeing patients undergoing elective surgery with multimorbidity, with 7 million people undergoing surgery > New data @Anaes_Journal shows these patients have lower 30-day mortality but also lower quality of life > Growing national interest to ensure healthcare systems are better prepared for the growing population with multimorbidity. What is the output? Findings of the study will be published under a corporate authorship model, importantly understand opportunities to strengthen current pathways. We have response from 39 NHS trust covered so far! NHS England

New ISRS GUIDELINES for AVMs !!! RADIOSURGERY for INTERMEDIATE GRADE (III) or HIGH GRADE (IV-V) AVMs (Spetzler-Martin): International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society (ISRS) PRACTICE GUIDELINES Graffeo et al., Neurosurgery, July 2024 https://lnkd.in/dXrkxQTr 1634 AVMs (1431 Grade III, 186 Grade IV, and 11 Grade V lesions) treated with RADIOSURGERY - the crude OBLITERATION RATE for Grade III AVMs was 72% - the crude OBLITERATION RATE among Grade IV-V AVMs was 46% - post-SRS HEMORRHAGE was observed in 7% of Grade III compared with 17% of Grade IV-V lesions - major PERMANENT DEFICITS or DEATH from hemorrhage or radiation-induced complications occurred in 6% of Grade III and 12% of Grade IV-V AVMs CONCLUSION: Most patients with Spetzler-Martin Grade III AVMs have FAVORABLE RADIOSURGERY treatment outcomes; however, the OBLITERATION rate for Grade IV-V AVMs is LESS than 50%. The available studies are heterogenous and lack nuanced, long-term, grade-specific outcomes. #SRS #Radiosurgery #ISRS #AVMs #SpetzlerMartinGrade #Guidelines

New ISRS Clinical GUIDELINES !!! "REPEAT SINGLE-SESSION RADIOSURGERY for CEREBRAL ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATIONS (AVMs): A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society (ISRS) PRACTICE GUIDELINES" Shaaban et al., Neurosurgery, June 2024 https://lnkd.in/dZXcg6Zh 14 studies with a total of 925 patients that underwent repeat single-session RADIOSURGERY (SRS) for cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) - median FOLLOW-UP was 21-50 months - at the time of repeat SRS the Spetzler–Martin grade of the AVMs was: *grade I for 12.54% of patients *grade II AVMs for 46.51% of patients *grade III AVMs for 34.92% of patients *grade IV for 5.08% of patients *grade V for 0.95% of patients - the MEDIAN prescription DOSE was 15-25 Gy - the MEAN prescription DOSE was 13.06-22.8 Gy - the pooled overall OBLITERATION RATE was 59% - the pooled HEMORRHAGE INCIDENCE was 5% - the pooled overall RADIATION-INDUCED CHANGE incidence was 12% CONCLUSION: For an INCOMPLETELY obliterated AVM, REAPEAT RADIOSURGERY after 3 to 5 years of follow-up from the first SRS provides a REASONABLE BENEFIT to the risk profile. After repeat SRS, OBLITERATION is achieved in the MAJORITY of patients. The risk of HEMORRHAGE or RADIATION-INDUCED CHANGE appears LOW, and ISRS RECOMMENDATIONS are presented. #RADIOSURGERY #SRS #AVM #RepeatSRS #SingleFraction
