Panel of Gut Bacteria Diagnostic for Colorectal Cancer

Reanalysis and standardization of data from several published studies has enabled a team of molecular microbiologists to identify a panel of gut microflora that is more prevalent in the stools of patients with colorectal cancer than it is in the stools of normal individuals. More...

Biomarker Identified for Aggressive Early Stage Cancer

Breast cancer begins as anomalous cells that divide out of control, usually in the milk ducts and in almost all cases, a patient does not succumb to the initial cancer but to the secondary tumors after the cancer has spread. More...
