Genomes of Advanced Neuroendocrine Neoplasms Unveil Subtypes
Metastatic and locally-advanced neuroendocrine neoplasms (aNEN) form clinically and genetically heterogeneous malignancies, characterized by distinct prognoses based upon primary tumor localization, functionality, grade, proliferation index and diverse outcomes to treatment. More...13 Aug 2021


Molecular Assays Compared For MRD Detection In B-ALL
B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is the most common malignancy in children, and it may be associated with gene alterations that regulate B-cell development. The prognostic significance of minimal residual disease (MRD) in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has been demonstrated. More...11 Aug 2021


Advanced Sequencing Techniques Determine Cancer Genome Variants in Young Patients
A recent paper described a three-platform sequencing approach, including whole genome (WGS), exome, and RNA sequencing, that was used to examine tumor and germline genomes from prospectively identified children with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory cancers. More...03 Aug 2021
