Abstract

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging represents a new approach to imaging tumoral neovascularity. This review describes the application of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the detection, differential diagnosis, and staging of bladder cancer.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
