Advanced Urinary Analysis Method Expected to Significantly Reduce Number of Prostate Cancer Biopsies
A team of British researchers has developed an advanced, RNA and DNA biomarker-based urine test for diagnosis of prostate cancer, which is expected to significantly reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies performed every year. More...18 Mar 2020
Neurofibromatosis Gene and Breast Cancer Resistance to Hormone Therapy
The cells of estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer have receptors that allow them to use the hormone estrogen to grow. Treatment with anti-estrogen hormone (endocrine) therapy can block the growth of the cancer cells. More...17 Mar 2020
Blood-Based MicroRNA Signatures Distinguishes Individuals with Lung Cancer
The overall low survival rate of patients with lung cancer calls for improved detection tools to enable better treatment options and improved patient outcomes. Lung cancer affects about 228,000 people a year in the USA and has a five-year survival rate just shy of 20%. More...16 Mar 2020
Methylated DNA in Saliva Samples Predicts Likelihood of Developing Childhood Obesity
A study based on analysis of saliva samples supports the concept that determination of DNA methylation in salivary tissue can be used to predict the eventual development of obesity by Hispanic children. More...16 Mar 2020
Noninvasive Urine Test Developed for Prostate Cancer
It is estimated that 191,930 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) in USA this year, and 33,330 of these patients will die of the disease this year. PCa is one of the second most frequently diagnosed cancer deaths among men worldwide. More...12 Mar 2020
Presenilin1 Gene Characteristics Used as Alzheimer's Disease Biomarker
Alzheimer's Disease manifests as a familial disease with monogenic inheritance and early onset (Early Onset AD: EOAD), or as a sporadic, multifactorial, late-onset disease (Late Onset AD: LOAD). The latter accounts for more than 90% of all cases and its causes are unknown. More...11 Mar 2020
