Genetic Test Improves Ovarian Cancer Treatment
The new PARP inhibitors as maintenance treatment for ovarian cancer after surgery and cytostatic therapy in newly-diagnosed ovarian cancer have demonstrated excellent results. However, the therapy can also cause serious side-effects, making it vital to target it to only those patients who stand to benefit the most from the treatment. Now, a new genetic test can identify ovarian cancer patients who can benefit from PARP inhibitors. More...12 Jan 2023
Blood Test Could Detect Alzheimer's 10 Years Before Symptoms Show
Early diagnosis of Alzheimer disease can enable the right treatment to be started without delay. Now, a new study on an inherited form of Alzheimer disease has shown that a protein called GFAP is a potential biomarker for very early stages of the disease and could allow for its earlier detection.

Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) and CerTest Biotec (Zaragoza, Spain) have received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a molecular polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for Mpox virus detection. More...10 Jan 2023
New Database Provides First-Ever Map of Proteome Signature in Blood from Cancer Patients
Cancer prediction medicine has received a boost with the recent unveiling of a new cancer protein profile database compiled from AI and machine learning that enables identification of individual cancer types based on a drop of blood. More...10 Jan 2023
Raman Spectroscopy Test Could Improve Lyme Disease Diagnostics
Lyme disease is challenging to diagnose and can only be treated in the early stages of infection. Now, scientists are focusing on improving Lyme disease treatment outcomes by developing a test that’s both more accurate and more efficient than the current test for the infection. More...09 Jan 2023
Rapid Diagnostic Test Uses Light to Detect Malaria without Blood Samples
Current rapid malaria tests involve applying a blood sample to a testing strip that can detect the presence of malaria-causing plasmodium parasites in red blood cells. Now, scientists have developed a hand-held screening device that can scan a patient’s arm or finger to detect the presence of malaria, eliminating the need to draw blood. More...09 Jan 2023
