Anna Sorace is developing advanced imaging strategies to detect early whether breast cancer tumors are responding to therapy. As she explains, "the eventual goal is to not just be able to monitor and predict response, but to be able to guide therapy interventions and better inform decision making for oncologists." In this episode, Dr. Sorace—a biomedical engineer and cancer researcher based at the University of Alabama at Birmingham—explains how imaging can guide personalized medicine and provide an extraordinarily detailed look at the molecular status of tumors and how tumors change during the course of therapy.
