New Diagnostic Products Detect Prostate Cancer

A novel sample collection device was designed to support a urine-based non-invasive "liquid biopsy" molecular diagnostic test that determines the risk for developing high-grade prostate cancer. More...

Biomarkers Show Highest Risk for Testicular Cancer

Results of a large genome-wide association study (GWAS) have enabled the identification of 19 new risk loci and potential regulatory mechanisms influencing the susceptibility to testicular germ cell cancer. More...

LAMP Assay Validated for MRSA in Invasive Samples

Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of bone and joint infections and one of the most common causative pathogens of bacterial pneumonia in children. An increased risk of mortality from invasive staphylococcal infections has been attributed to methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). More...

Genetic Test Identifies Risk of Anal Cancer

Anal cancer is mostly caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), which is the same virus that causes cervical cancer. Diagnosis presents many challenges as full biopsies are painful, and taking a small sample of cells for cytology is problematic because lesions can be hidden. More...

Image: A new study suggests using a new genomic-dequencing approach could help develop an assay that could detect cancer at early stages (Photo courtesy of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center).

Sequencing Approach to Detect Genomic Alterations

An early study evaluated a sophisticated new genomic-sequencing approach that analyzes cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the blood of people with advanced cancer and will help development of a future assay that could potentially detect cancer in its earliest stages. More...

Genetic Mutation Identified for Childhood Kidney Cancer

The underlying mechanism that causes aneuploidy might be important in understanding cancer risk and not solely having the wrong number of chromosomes in a cell. It is an important development that provides valuable information about the fundamental biology of cancer. More...

Rapid Molecular Test Diagnoses Multiple Sclerosis

A pioneering blood test has been introduced that speeds up multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis to just seven days. Current testing methods such as magnetic resonance imaging scans take much longer to reach a diagnosis because they rely on measuring the progress of irreversible neurological damage. More...
