Cerebrospinal Fluid Liquid Biopsy for Diagnosis of Metastatic Breast Cancer
A liquid biopsy technique that detects cell-free tumor DNA (ctDNA) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) offers the possibility for early and definitive diagnosis of leptomeningeal metastasis of breast and other cancers. More...23 Mar 2022
Novel Painless Test Massively Simplifies Diagnosis of Allergies and Predicts Success of Immunotherapy
Although allergies are widespread, their diagnosis is complex and, depending on the type of allergy, the prospects of success with therapy are not always clear. Skin tests so far have been unpleasant, time-consuming and associated with a certain risk of triggering an allergic overreaction. Researchers have now developed a novel test that massively simplifies the diagnosis of allergies and can reliably predict the success of a therapy. More...23 Mar 2022
Genetic Overlap Found for Ovarian Cancer Subtypes and Endometriosis
A research team in Australia, the US, and the UK has delved into genetic ties between specific epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) histotypes and endometriosis, a condition previously associated with enhanced EOC risk. More...22 Mar 2022
Personalized Tumor-Informed Assay Helps Patients Get Ahead of Cancer
Over the past several years, research has shown that minimal or molecular residual disease (MRD) monitoring can reliably identify lung cancer patients at high risk of relapse, detect post-surgical recurrence often earlier than standard imaging, assess therapy response, and potentially act as a surrogate for clinical trial endpoints. Now, a newly-available platform can help detect MRD in patients with solid tumors. More...22 Mar 2022
Worm-on-a-Chip Device Could Noninvasively Diagnose Early-Stage Cancer
Dogs can use their incredible sense of smell to sniff out various forms of cancer in human breath, blood and urine samples. Similarly, in the lab a much simpler organism, the roundworm C. elegans, wriggles its way toward cancer cells by following an odor trail. Scientists have now reported a device that uses the tiny worms to detect lung cancer cells. More...22 Mar 2022
Pediatric Cancer Sequencing Expands Relapse Treatment Options
New data has demonstrated that sequencing the tumors of relapsing pediatric cancer patients can uncover alterations linked to existing and emerging targeted therapies, potentially offering improved outcomes over standard chemotherapy. More...21 Mar 2022
