52 Congrats, Doctor! Solid Tumors (PERCIST) to decide whether or not the treatment should be adapted or changed. However, these guidelines tend to focus only on a selection of lesions representing tumor burden, or in the case of PERCIST on only one lesion (the one showing the highest uptake). Assessing the total tumorburden is todaya real challenge. Metastatic breast cancer is a cancer of poor prognosis that requires constant monitoring. During the follow-up care of a patient, PET is regularly acquired to assess the evolution of tumors over time. When interpreting the images, physicians follow specific guidelines such as Positron Emission tomographyResponseCriteria In Constance Fourcade recently completed her PhD at the LS2N lab in the Ecole Centrale de Nantes, in collaboration with the company Keosys and the Institut de Cancérologie de l'Ouest (ICO) in Nantes, France. Her research focused on the use of medical image registration methods to monitor the evolution of breast cancer metastasis on Positron Emission Tomography (TEP) images. In the future, she aims to pursue her work on medical image processing to help understand and monitor diseases, such as heart infarct. Congrats, Doctor Constance!
