Colorectal Cancer Immunohistochemistry Panel Launched
The global burden of colorectal cancer is expected to increase by 60% to more than 2.2 million new cases and 1.1 million deaths by 2030. Increasingly, guidelines are recommending universal screening of all newly diagnosed colorectal cancers for Lynch syndrome. More...13 Feb 2018
Residual Disease in Leukemia Patients Identified by ddPCR
Currently, minimal residual disease for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients is typically monitored using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), but often leukemic stem cells with the BCR-ABL1 rearrangement are present below the limit of detect of RT-qPCR. More...08 Feb 2018
Genetic Biomarkers Determine Risk of Developing Endometriosis
Endometriosis is one of the most common women's health disorders, causing up to 10% of reproductive-age women to experience painful periods and potential infertility. Diagnosis can elude patients for decades, in part because exploratory surgery is considered the ultimate diagnostic method. More...07 Feb 2018
Analysis Offers Treatment Options for Olfactory Neuroblastoma
Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare, locally aggressive, malignant neoplasm originating in the olfactory epithelium in the nasal vault. The recurrence rate of ONB remains high and there are no specific treatment guidelines for recurrent/metastatic ONBs. More...01 Feb 2018
