Does positron emission tomography add to computed tomography for the diagnosis and staging of pancreatic cancer?
PET had a similar accuracy to that of CT for imaging pancreatic cancer but it did not provide any additional information in patients with equivocal CT findings and currently would seem of little benefit for the staging of pancreatic cancer.
It is suggested that measles virus infection interferes with lymphocyte trafficking and reallocation. Disruption of recirculation and random homing of lymphocytes might contribute to the immunosuppression, which is characteristic for measles virus infection.
