Elevated Plasma Neurofilament Light Chain Predicts Worsening of Muscular Sclerosis Symptoms
A test that measures the amount of neurofilament light chain protein in blood plasma can predict the likelihood of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) progressing to the more severe forms of the disease. More...01 Jun 2020




Germline Risk Variants Found in Prostate Cancer Patients
Studies done over the past five years or so have unearthed pathogenic germline variants in some 12% to 17% of men with prostate cancer, and such alterations can impact everything from the treatment options available to them, to the management strategies used for other members of the same family.

Non-Invasive Blood Assay Can Detect Early Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC), also known as bowel cancer, colon cancer, or rectal cancer, is the development of cancer from the colon or rectum (parts of the large intestine). In general, colon cancer begins when healthy cells in the colon develop changes (mutations) in their DNA and as the cells accumulate, they form a tumor. More...21 May 2020
