99mTc-Macroaggregated Albumin Poorly Predicts the Intrahepatic Distribution of 90Y Resin Microspheres in Hepatic Radioembolization
Maurits Wondergem,Maarten L. J. Smits,Mattijs Elschot,Hugo W. A. M. de Jong,Helena M. Verkooijen,Maurice A.A.J. van den Bosch,Johannes F. W. Nijsen,Marnix G.E.H. Lam +7 more
TL;DR: In current clinical practice, 99mTc-MAA distribution does not accurately predict final 90Y activity distribution, and awareness of the importance of catheter positioning and adherence to specific recommendations may lead to optimization of individualized treatment planning based on pretreatment imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic accuracy of stereotactic large‐core needle biopsy for nonpalpable breast disease: Results of a multicenter prospective study with 95% surgical confirmation
TL;DR: Stereotactic large‐core needle biopsy is an accurate diagnostic instrument for nonpalpable breast disease and may safely replace needle localised open‐breast biopsy provided that high‐risk and normal breast tissue diagnoses are followed by needle or open-breasts biopsy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preoperative Imaging of Colorectal Liver Metastases After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: A Meta-Analysis
Charlotte S. van Kessel,Constantinus F. Buckens,Constantinus F. Buckens,Maurice A.A.J. van den Bosch,Maarten S. van Leeuwen,Richard van Hillegersberg,Helena M. Verkooijen,Helena M. Verkooijen +7 more
TL;DR: In the neoadjuvant setting, MRI appears to be the most appropriate imaging modality for preoperative assessment of patients with CRLM and CT is the second-best diagnostic modality and should be used in the absence of MRI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of Reirradiation for Painful Bone Metastases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Merel Huisman,Maurice A.A.J. van den Bosch,Joost W. Wijlemans,Marco van Vulpen,Yvette M. van der Linden,Helena M. Verkooijen +5 more
TL;DR: Reirradiation of painful bone metastases is effective in terms of pain relief for a small majority of patients; approximately 40% of patients do not benefit from reirradiated treatment and this meta-analysis provides the most quantitative estimate of reIRradiation effectiveness to date.
Journal ArticleDOI
Value of Preoperative Ultrasound-Guided Axillary Lymph Node Biopsy for Preventing Completion Axillary Lymph Node Dissection in Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Suzanne C. E. Diepstraten,Ali Sever,Constantinus F. Buckens,Wouter B. Veldhuis,Thijs van Dalen,Maurice A.A.J. van den Bosch,Willem P.Th.M. Mali,Helena M. Verkooijen +7 more
TL;DR: Preoperative axillary ultrasound-guided biopsy is a useful step in the process of axillary staging and preventing two-step axillary surgery in the form of sentinel node biopsy followed by completion axillary lymph node (ALN) dissection.
