Genetic Test Predicts Whether Bowel Cancer Patients Can Benefit From Chemotherapy
Researchers have discovered that a genetic test, an established part of standard care in the UK and globally to predict patients' responses to other targeted cancer drugs, can also predict whether chemotherapy will work for bowel cancer patients. This discovery could aid in sparing patients from unnecessary toxicity and debilitating side effects by avoiding treatments that will not benefit them. More...06 Mar 2023

New Method to Detect RNA Viruses More Effective and Faster than PCR Test
A new innovative method to detect RNA viruses based on the triplex-forming probe technology paves the way for new options for detecting viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, the influenza A virus (H1N1) or the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a pathogen that affects newborn babies and needs careful differential diagnosis.

New Device That Detects Cancer Cells Could Help Avoid Invasive Biopsy Surgeries
Researchers have created a new device that can detect and analyze cancer cells from blood samples. This could eliminate the need for a biopsy surgery, as well as allow doctors to monitor treatment progress more accurately. More...28 Feb 2023

Blood Test Could Diagnose Brain Cancer, Track Progression and Guide Treatment
Researchers have identified a biomarker that could be used in blood tests to diagnose glioblastoma (GBM), track its progression and guide treatment. This means non-invasive liquid biopsy for GBM could be a great help for patients, allowing them to receive the care they need more quickly. More...28 Feb 2023
AI Accurately Predicts Cardiovascular Disease by Examining Genes in DNA of Heart Patients
By studying patients' DNA using AI, clinicians can now predict cardiovascular diseases such as atrial fibrillation and heart failure. With the help of AI, clinicians are able to identify genetic indicators of cardiovascular disease before symptoms even arise, potentially allowing for better prevention and treatment of this widespread condition.
