Tumor Biopsies with Blood Monitoring Show Lesion-Specific Response
Metastatic tumors driven by drug-targetable genetic mutations become resistant to a targeted therapy drug and the usual practice is to biopsy a single metastatic lesion to test for new mutations that can guide the selection of next-line therapies. More...24 Feb 2016






Prognostic Biomarker Found for Colon Cancer Patients
The majority of colon cancer patients whose tumors have started to travel to nearby tissue but no further are cured by surgery alone, but in a minority of these stage II colon cancer cases the cancer returns and the patients die. More...10 Feb 2016
