Next-Generation Sequencing Impacts All Aspects of Myelodysplastic Syndrome Care

Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) is a type of blood cancer that affects the bone marrow. It causes low levels of one or more types of blood cells in the blood. MDS is more common in people aged over 70, but it can happen at any age. More...

Simple Urine Test Detects Urothelial Cancers in Lynch Syndrome Patients

Lynch Syndrome (LS) is an inherited genetic disorder that carries a high risk of cancer. LS is caused by mutations affecting MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 or PMS2 genes. More than one in 300 people have LS but most do not know it and that is equivalent to more than 2,300 new cases every year in the UK. More...
