Multigene Test Identifies Early Breast Cancer
The 21-gene Recurrence Score assay, nodal status, grade, and immunohistochemical markers are recommended for chemotherapy decision making in hormone receptor positive/ human epidermal growth factor receptor negative early breast cancer. More...30 Mar 2016
Blood Test Gives Early Warning of Melanoma Relapse
Targeted immunotherapies have transformed melanoma care, extending median survival from around 9 to over 25 months but nevertheless, most patients still die of their disease and although most melanoma patients respond to treatment at first, their cancer can become resistant within a year. More...21 Mar 2016
Robust Method Developed for Microbiome Analysis
Scientists have developed a technique for genome sequence data analysis that enables to more efficiently and accurately identify differences between metagenomes for a variety of bacterial communities, which can help to study, diagnose, and treat many human diseases. In a new study, the method was successfully tested on intestinal microbiota. More...16 Mar 2016
Ultrasensitive Antibody Detection Enabled by Agglutination-PCR
Antibodies are widely used biomarkers for the diagnosis of many diseases and assays based on solid-phase immobilization of antigens comprise the majority of clinical platforms for antibody detection, but can be undermined by antigen denaturation and epitope masking. More...14 Mar 2016
Whole-Exome Sequencing Identifies Rare Inherited Diseases
Whole-exome sequencing could serve as a viable diagnostic approach for identifying rare inherited diseases and providing a resolution for patients on a diagnostic odyssey, which are patients with a suspected genetic condition for whom previous standard genetic testing did not reveal a cause. More...14 Mar 2016
Gene Predicts Outcomes for Head and Neck Patients
A human cancer-causing gene, called the DEK oncogene, can be detected in the plasma of head and neck cancer patients and this may help doctors understand how a person's immune system could be used to treat cancer or predict outcomes for patients. More...08 Mar 2016
