Results of a study presented early this month at the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s annual conference in Chicago suggest men who have undergone treatment for prostate cancer can rest easy knowing annual screenings are sufficient to monitor the disease.

Danielle Ofri, MD, PhD, and internist at Bellevue Hospital and the New York University School of Medicine, along with her colleagues, believe a false-positive or abnormal result in an imaging test doesn’t necessarily mean patients need to worry or follow-up with their physician.

When it comes to transgender patients, radiologists can be confused due to unfamiliarity with specific preferences or needs, a pair of researchers with the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in Canada said this month in Radiography. Taking those patients’ unique considerations to heart and educating radiology staff about transgender realities can make a big difference in how the population receives medical care.
