Pediatric Ependymoma Single-Cell Analysis Signatures Linked to Outcomes
An ependymoma is a tumor that arises from the ependyma, a tissue of the central nervous system. Usually, in pediatric cases the location is intracranial, while in adults it is spinal. The common location of intracranial ependymomas is the fourth ventricle. More...30 Jul 2020

Combined Proteomic/Genomic Method Detects Early Signs of Pancreatic Cancer
A new method that utilized a combined proteomic and genomic approach for profiling serum proteins in solution demonstrated high accuracy for distinguishing samples derived from pancreatic cancer patients and those from healthy controls. More...29 Jul 2020


Plasma Lipidome Investigated in Hereditary Hemochromatosis
Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder with increased intestinal iron absorption which leads to iron overload and consequently to tissue damage and functional impairment of organs like liver, pancreas, and heart. More...28 Jul 2020

Circulating Tumor DNA Associated with Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Recurrence
Patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are frequently treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, based on the increased risk for recurrence and death associated with this category of tumors. More...27 Jul 2020

CtDNA Assay for Cancer Recurrence, MRD Applications Demonstrated
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is found in the bloodstream and refers to DNA that comes from cancerous cells and tumors. Most DNA is inside a cell's nucleus. As a tumor grows, cells die and are replaced by new ones. The dead cells get broken down and their contents, including DNA, are released into the bloodstream. More...22 Jul 2020
