Analysis of Melanoma Exosomes Identifies Potential Relapse Risk
A team of Spanish cancer researchers demonstrated that it was possible to detect the BRAFV600E mutation in exudative seroma-derived extracellular vesicles of patients following melanoma surgery, and its detection correlated with the likelihood that the patients would relapse. More...22 Apr 2019

CRC Gut Microbial Signatures Lead to Diagnostic Tests
Colorectal cancer (CRC), also known as bowel cancer and colon cancer, is the development of cancer from the colon or rectum (parts of the large intestine). A cancer is the abnormal growth of cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body. More...18 Apr 2019

Genomic Classifier Test for Lung Disease Validated
In the appropriate clinical setting, the diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) requires a pattern of usual interstitial pneumonia to be present on high-resolution chest computerized tomography (HRCT) scan or surgical lung biopsy. More...18 Apr 2019
