Serum HBV RNA Quantification Monitors Chronic Hepatitis B Infection

Chronic hepatitis B viral infection is a global health problem, especially in the Asian-Pacific region. Approximately 1.2 million people in the USA and 350 million people worldwide have Hepatitis B. and about 650,000 people die annually from HBV infection related liver failure, liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Breast Cancer Test Determines Most Effective Treatment

For the clinical management of patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, several clinico-pathological and molecular characteristics of the tumor have to be considered for prognosis and treatment decisions. More...

Urine Test Could Prevent Cervical Cancer

The strategy of cervical screening depends on reducing the incidence of cervical cancer through the detection and treatment of its precursor lesion, high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+). More...

Biomarker Predicts Appropriate Immunotherapy for Cancer Patients

Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a hypermutable phenotype caused by the loss of DNA mismatch repair activity. MSI is detected in about 15% of all colorectal cancers; 3% are of these are associated with Lynch syndrome. MSI is a biomarker for response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPIs). More...

Oral HPV-DNA Persists after Oropharyngeal Cancer Treatment

Head and neck cancers affect some 53,000 people in the USA each year, according to the National Cancer Institute, and human papilloma virus (HPV) has been implicated in many of those cases. The diagnosis of cancer can be confirmed by tissue biopsy. More...
