Local failure common in metastases from right-sided primary CRC treated with SABR
Local failure (LF) is more likely to occur in colorectal cancer (CRC) metastases treated with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) if originating from right-sided primary CRC compared with left-sided, a study has found. In addition, LF rates are highest with liver metastases than other metastatic sites.

Patients presenting with advanced-stage pancreatic cancer reveal cracks in imaging-based surveillance
High-risk individuals who develop neoplastic progression to pancreatic cancer or high-grade dysplasia can present at an advanced stage despite showing no lesions during prior imaging surveillance evaluations, a new study has found.
