Tomography

A novel machine-learning-derived biomarker that can detect structural changes in perivascular fat improved cardiac risk prediction beyond traditional prediction tools.

Current clinical issues in testicular germ cell tumour management include limited sensitivity and specificity of conventional biomarkers and, therefore, reliance on serial CT imaging in follow-up monitoring, as well as poor ability to risk stratify patients. Circulating microRNAs are likely to help overcome these challenges and, importantly, could offer cost savings to health-care systems.
