Blood Test for Receptor Predicts Prostate Cancer Treatment Response
Prostate cancer patients whose tumors contain a shortened receptor called androgen-receptor splice variant 7 messenger ribonucleic acid are less likely to respond to two widely used drugs for metastatic prostate cancer. More...21 Sep 2014



Biomarker Identifies Breast Cancers with Poor Prognoses
Breast cancers are stratified into distinct subtypes, which influence therapeutic responsiveness and patient outcome, and those with luminal breast cancers are often associated with a better prognosis relative to other subtypes, but subsets of patients with luminal breast cancer remain at increased risk of cancer-related death.
