Protein Linked to Aggressive Skin Cancer
Almost 300,000 people worldwide develop malignant melanoma each year. The disease is the most serious form of skin cancer and the number of cases reported annually is increasing, making skin cancer one of Sweden's most common forms of cancer. More...10 Jul 2019
Test Determines If Cancer Patients Require Chemotherapy
Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the most common special type of breast cancer, and is characterized by functional loss of E-cadherin, resulting in cellular adhesion defects. ILC typically present as estrogen receptor positive, grade 2 breast cancers, with a good short-term prognosis. More...09 Jul 2019
Levels of NfL Increase Accuracy of Stroke Risk Prediction
Serum levels of neurofilament light polypeptide have been found to predict the likelihood of suffering a stroke and to add considerably to the discriminatory power of the Framingham Stroke Risk Score in a group of middle-aged and older adults with diabetes mellitus. More...08 Jul 2019
Whole-Blood Testing Diagnoses Acute Zika Virus Infections
Zika virus infections are linked to congenital malformations in neonates from mothers infected during pregnancy and to neurologic disorders in adults. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the most reliable method for confirming Zika virus infections. More...04 Jul 2019
Metastases May Form Early in Development of Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC), also known as bowel cancer and colon cancer, is the development of cancer from the colon or rectum (parts of the large intestine). Signs and symptoms may include blood in the stool, a change in bowel movements, weight loss, and feeling tired all the time. More...04 Jul 2019
