Improved “Liquid Biopsy” Technique Enhances Tumor DNA Detection
An improved method has been devised to significantly increase the sensitivity of a technique to identify and sequence DNA from cancer cells circulating in a person's blood. The hope is that such "liquid biopsies" of easily obtained blood samples could one day replace the need to surgically obtain tumor tissue for examination. More...10 Apr 2016
Noncoding RNA Gene Linked to Malignant Melanoma
While a large share of the human genome has long been considered “junk DNA” because it does not contribute to protein coding, recent insights indicate that it does produce many noncoding ribonucleic acids that play important roles in essential biological processes and diseases. More...05 Apr 2016
Novel Blood Test Detects Colorectal Cancer Recurrence Earlier
Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, accounting for more than 600,000 deaths each year. When diagnosed early, before cancer has spread, the relative five-year survival rate for CRC is 90%, but only about 4 out of 10 CRC cases are detected early. More...05 Apr 2016
Hereditary Cancer Test Identifies Deleterious Mutations in Endometrial Cancer
Two recent studies have shown that a Hereditary Cancer test can identify deleterious mutations in patients with endometrial cancer and additionally, showed the superior ability of the combined three biomarker test to predict survival in patients with platinum treated ovarian cancer.
