Low-Cost Transcriptional Diagnostic Accurately Categorizes Lymphomas

Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of the body's germ-fighting network. The lymphatic system includes the lymph nodes (lymph glands), spleen, thymus gland and bone marrow. Lymphoma can affect all those areas as well as other organs throughout the body. More...

Circulating Tumor DNA Following Surgery Predicts Colorectal Cancer Recurrence

 According to a recent paper, levels of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) – which can be measured using noninvasive liquid biopsy – predict the likelihood of recurrence of colorectal cancer following surgery. More...

Familial Hypercholesterolemia Tends to Slip Past Genetic Tests

Familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disorder characterized by high cholesterol levels, specifically very high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), in the blood and early cardiovascular disease. The most common mutations diminish the number of functional LDL receptors in the liver. More...

Personalized CtDNA Analysis Detects Minimal Residual Disease

Multiple myeloma (MM), is a type of bone marrow cancer. It is called multiple myeloma as the cancer often affects several areas of the body, such as the spine, skull, pelvis and ribs. Minimal residual disease (MRD) is the name given to small numbers of leukemic cells that remain in the person during treatment, or after treatment when the patient is in remission. More...

Analytic Validation and Clinical Utilization of Comprehensive Genomic Profiling Test

Cancer has a high clinical burden and oncology therapies are expensive. It is estimated that 1,898,160 new cancer cases will be diagnosed and over 608,570 deaths are projected to occur in the USA in 2021. The prevalence of cancer is expected to rise over time, providing an expanding unmet need for genomic tests to help physicians treat patients in a more precise manner. More...
