Blood Test Influences Clinical Decisions in Coronary Artery Disease

Clinicians need better approaches to evaluating women at midlife and beyond who present to primary care with chest pain and related symptoms such as an individual's current likelihood of having obstructive coronary artery disease.   More...

Gene Involved In Hereditary Neuroendocrine Tumors Identified

To date, 11 main genes whose mutations are responsible for pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas have been identified and of these, 6 are involved in cellular metabolism, more specifically, the Krebs cycle, which is the machinery used by cells to burn oxygen and obtain the energy required for cellular work.   More...

Biomarker Based Blood Test Detects Colorectal Cancer

A test is needed that offers greater certainty and that can detect bowel cancer at an early stage and at the same time reaches the whole population. Should this be achieved with a blood test, it might lower the reluctance seen in patients towards the stool test.   More...

Blood Test May Trump Standard for Early Down Syndrome Screening

A new multicenter study provides landmark evidence that a blood test undertaken between 10 to 14 weeks of pregnancy may be more accurate in diagnosing Down syndrome, and two less common chromosomal abnormalities, than standard noninvasive screening techniques.  More...

Likelihood of Lymphoma Recurrence Can Be Predicted by Monitoring Blood Levels of Circulating Tumor DNA

A recent paper described the measurement of circulating tumor DNA to diagnose patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and to predict their likely response to treatment.   More...

Genetic Cause of Increased Leukemia Risk Identified

A newly discovered heritable genetic cause of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, has been pinpointed, specifically a mutation of the oncogene that encodes an E26 transformation-specific factor.   More...
