Pediatric Pancreatic Cancer Diagnosed from cfDNA Fragments in Urine
Although rare, pancreatoblastoma is the most common pancreatic tumor of young children. Carcinoma of acinar cell origin has rarely been reported in older children. Ductal adenocarcinoma and its many variants are the most common pancreatic tumors in adults, but these are exceedingly rare in children. More...17 Mar 2021
Clonal Hematopoiesis and Recurrent Mutations Identified in Blood Cancers
Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is characterized by detectable hematopoietic-associated gene mutations in a person without evidence of hematologic malignancy. Somatic mutations at hotspots (genetic loci observed to be frequently mutated across cancer patients) often drive or contribute to cancer pathogenesis. More...16 Mar 2021
Liquid Biopsy Technique Detects Circulating Tumor Cells in Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
A liquid biopsy technique based on hexokinase-2, a key enzyme in glucose metabolism, is able to detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). More...16 Mar 2021
Analysis of Urinary Exosome RNA Can Diagnose Kidney Transplant Rejection
A panel of mRNA signatures derived from urinary exosomes was shown to be a powerful and noninvasive tool to screen for the body’s rejection of a kidney allograft (a transplant from a genetically non-identical donor). More...15 Mar 2021
Whipple’s Disease Pathogen Found in International Diarrhea Patients
Tropheryma whipplei is the causative agent of Whipple’s disease. The organism has also been detected in the feces of healthy or asymptomatic persons and in the feces of patients with diarrhea. Symptoms tend to develop slowly over many years in most people with this disease. More...11 Mar 2021
Five Genes Help Predict Lewy Body Dementia
Lewy body dementia usually affects people over 65 years old. Early signs of the disease include hallucinations, mood swings, and problems with thinking, movements, and sleep. Patients who initially have cognitive and behavioral problems are usually diagnosed as having dementia with Lewy bodies, but are sometimes mistakenly diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. More...10 Mar 2021
