Custom NanoString Assay Detects Bowel Cancer Subtypes
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The median overall survival of metastatic (m)CRC patients with unresectable disease remains around 24 months with standard chemotherapies. More...13 Jun 2019
Genetic Familial Hypercholesterolemia Prevalent in Premature CVD
Premature coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. Increased low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) level is a major risk factor for CAD and thus the main target for its prevention. More...12 Jun 2019
Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis Diagnosed by Molecular Test
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a common opportunistic fungal infection, mainly affecting patients with severe and prolonged neutropenia. Early diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is notoriously difficult, but crucial for prompt treatment initiation required to improve patient outcome. More...12 Jun 2019
