Blood Test Measures Effectiveness of Aggressive Cancer Treatments
Blood tests that track the amount of tumor DNA can, after only one month of drug therapy, detect how well treatment is working in patients with skin cancer. In the USA, more than 7,200 individuals are expected to die from metastatic melanoma in 2019, with BRAF mutations playing a role in nearly half of such diagnoses. More...27 May 2019
Rapid Assay Detects Pyrazinamide-Resistant Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) strains, remains one of the most frequent infectious diseases worldwide. Due to its high frequency and the increased risk of co-resistance to other drugs, rapid detection of pyrazinamide (PZA) resistance is essential to control the MDR-TB epidemic. More...27 May 2019
Assay Stratifies Esophageal Cancer Patients for Treatment
The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) in the Western world has risen six-fold in the last 40 years with the highest incidence occurring in the UK and there were about 9,200 cases of the disease reported in the UK in 2015. It accounts for 3% of cancer cases in the UK each year. More...22 May 2019
Clinical Trial Highlights Poor Prognosis for Bladder Cancer Patients
Analysis of the IMvigor 210 clinical trials involving patients with platinum-refractory or cisplatin-ineligible urothelial carcinoma (the most common type of bladder cancer) who were treated with the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab identified a resistance signature as an immune biomarker that may aid in development of personalized treatment of the disease.

Prostate Cancer Severity Indicated by Location and Concentration of Syntaphilin
A biomarker has been identified that may enable doctors to predict which patients with early indications of prostate cancer will be likely to develop the much more serious invasive and metastatic form of the disease. More...20 May 2019
