Potential Brain Tumor Liquid Biopsies Developed

Liquid biopsies are fluid samples from patients, for example from the blood or urine, which provide a less invasive way to monitor disease compared to tumor biopsies. A less intrusive test could be hugely beneficial for brain tumors where collecting samples can be difficult and risky for patients. More...

Microsatellite Instability Assay Validated for Cancer Studies

Microsatellite instability (MSI) occurs when mismatch repair proteins (MMR) fail to fix a DNA replication error, leading to frame-shift mutations in a person's genetic code and non-functioning proteins. MSI has acted as a strong marker for genetic conditions such as Lynch syndrome that can lead to a variety of cancers. More...

Genetic Test Helps Patients Avoid Unnecessary Thyroid Surgery

A genetic test has been developed that can help avoid costly diagnostic surgery that involves removing one or both lobes of the thyroid gland, by reliably distinguishing between benign and cancerous thyroid nodules using a very small sample of cells. More...

Herpes Simplex Virus Assay, Sample-to-Answer Instrument Get FDA Clearance

Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2) is a widespread herpes virus, usually sexually transmitted and responsible for genital herpes. Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) is a common virus life-long established in the peripheral nervous system. More...

Breast Cancer Risk Variant Type Determines Tumor Aggressiveness

Interval breast cancer is a term for tumors detected within a year after a mammographic screening that was determined to be normal and is among the measures used to gauge the efficacy of breast screening programs. More...

RNA Defects Linked to Multiple Myeloma Progression

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common type of blood cancer where cancer cells accumulate in the bone marrow, crowding out healthy blood cells. Studies on MM development have traditionally focused mostly on DNA abnormalities. More...

Blood Compatibility Assay Approved by FDA

Blood can be grouped based on the antigens on the surfaces of red blood cells, and the presence or absence of blood group antigens other than the ABO blood group antigens can be important in matching blood for transfusions. More...
