Stool DNA Test Helps Detect Precancerous Lesions
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality. Although CRC incidence is increasing, a decrease in mortality has been observed due to the implementation of CRC screening and improved therapies. More...27 Dec 2019

Germline Genetic Testing Assesses Inherited Risk for Myeloid Malignancies
Inherited risk for hematologic malignancies was historically thought to be relatively rare; however, the increased use of next-generation sequencing has identified more patients with germline genetic mutations that are known to increase cancer risk. More...26 Dec 2019


A Rapid Method for Isolating Viral DNA-enriched Salivary Exosomes for Diagnosis and Monitoring of Oropharyngeal Cancer
A novel method, based on the combination of microfluidics and acoustics, for concentrating exosomes containing viral DNA from the saliva of oropharyngeal cancer patients was found to be 15 times more sensitive than the current gold standard differential centrifugation method. More...24 Dec 2019


Distinct Myelodysplastic Syndrome Subtypes Identified by Genomic, Transcriptomic Analysis
Myelodysplastic syndrome is a premalignant disease that affects myeloid cell. It is a precursor to acute myeloid leukemia, an aggressive blood cancer caused by the accumulation of immature blood cells. More...23 Dec 2019
