Description
Maajid Mohi Ud Din Malik and co-authors review molecular imaging for finding cancer early, in this 2024 paper. The method lights up cancer-linked molecules inside the body, promising diagnosis before a tumor grows large enough for plain scans. The team searched five databases for studies from twenty ten to twenty twenty-three and checked each study's risk of bias.
Fifty studies passed the screen. Tracers used with PET scans gave the best marks, with average sensitivity near ninety percent and specificity near ninety-one percent. New tracers for prostate and breast cancer stood out as promising. Light-based imaging shone during surgery, where it helps surgeons see tumor edges. The authors back wider clinical use but call for standard methods and cost studies first.
