Main description:

In this issue of Surgical Oncology Clinics, guest editor Dr. Natalie Lui brings her considerable expertise to the topic of Oncology Imaging: Updates and Advancements. Treatment planning and implementation in oncology relies heavily on cancer imaging modalities. In this issue, top experts in the field of oncology imaging discuss the latest imaging techniques and modalities for the most common malignancies, such as lung, breast, and liver cancer, as well as a timely article on 3D CT reconstruction and printing to aid surgical planning.

Contains 10 practice-oriented topics including fluoroestradiol imaging of ER+ breast cancer; advances in imaging to aid segmentectomy for lung cancer; 3D computed tomography reconstruction and printing to aid surgical planning; molecular imaging of head and neck cancer; contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasound of the liver; and more.

Provides in-depth clinical reviews on oncology imaging, offering actionable insights for clinical practice.

Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
