New Biomarkers to Help Gauge Response of Melanoma Patients to Immune Checkpoint Therapy

Since only a subset of melanoma patients respond to immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors, predictive biomarkers are critically needed to guide treatment decisions and develop approaches to the treatment of therapeutic resistance. More...

AI-Enabled POC Device Detects Cancers Without Biopsies

In a study, a unique type of nanoparticle called a “nanorattle” accurately identified head and neck cancers through an AI-enabled point-of-care device that could revolutionize how these cancers and other diseases are detected in low-resource areas to improve global health. More...

Endotrophin Blood Test Can Predict Outcomes in Patients with Heart Failure

A new study has found that bloodstream levels of a protein fragment called endotrophin can be used to predict outcomes in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). More...

Inherited Genetic Variants Increase Risk of Hodgkin Lymphoma

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a type of lymphoma, in which cancer originates from a specific type of white blood cell called lymphocytes, where multinucleated Reed–Sternberg cells (RS cells) are present in the patient's lymph nodes. Symptoms may include fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Often, nonpainful enlarged lymph nodes occur in the neck, under the arm, or in the groin. More...

Molecular Endometrial Cancer Test Developed

Endometrial cancer (EC) is among the tumor types with the sharpest rising incidence over the past 10 years. Abnormal bleeding, defined as any postmenopausal, intermenstrual, or persistent heavy menstrual bleeding, is the lead symptom. More...
