Esophageal Cancer GWAS Leads to Risk Variants

Genome-wide association studies have identified common variants associated with risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma; however, these common variants cannot explain all heritability of esophageal cancer. More...

Molecular Test Device Developed for RNA Viral Detection

A microfluidic, continuous-flow, quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) system to detect viral RNA targets has been developed and its creator have been working to reduce manufacturing costs and identify potential partners for commercialization. More...

Image: Human papilloma virus (HPV) encased in biofilms inside tonsil crypts (pictured) may explain why the roughly 5% of HPV-infected people who develop cancer of the mouth or throat are not protected by their immune systems. Tonsil crypts with HPV are shown in green; epithelial and biofilm layers are shown in red (Photo courtesy of Dr. Katherine Rieth, MD).

HPV Found Hidden on Surface of Tonsils

Human papilloma virus (HPV), the culprit behind cervical cancer and some forms of head and neck cancer may hide in small pockets on the surface of tonsils in people not known to carry the virus. More...

Loss of MLH1 is associated with colorectal and other cancers (Photo courtesy of Roche Tissue Diagnostics).

Colorectal Cancer Immunohistochemistry Panel Launched

The global burden of colorectal cancer is expected to increase by 60% to more than 2.2 million new cases and 1.1 million deaths by 2030. Increasingly, guidelines are recommending universal screening of all newly diagnosed colorectal cancers for Lynch syndrome. More...

Bacteria Play Critical Role in Driving Colon Cancers

Patients with an inherited form of colon cancer harbor two bacterial species that collaborate to encourage development of the disease, and the same species have been found in people who develop a sporadic form of colon cancer. More...

Residual Disease in Leukemia Patients Identified by ddPCR

Currently, minimal residual disease for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients is typically monitored using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), but often leukemic stem cells with the BCR-ABL1 rearrangement are present below the limit of detect of RT-qPCR. More...

Genetic Biomarkers Determine Risk of Developing Endometriosis

Endometriosis is one of the most common women's health disorders, causing up to 10% of reproductive-age women to experience painful periods and potential infertility. Diagnosis can elude patients for decades, in part because exploratory surgery is considered the ultimate diagnostic method. More...
