DNA Test Predicts Risk of Leukemia Relapse

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common type of leukemia in adults, comprising about one quarter of all cases. The disease stems from an overproduction of immature blood cells in the bone marrow, which over time outgrow normal blood cells. It's a type of cancer, which starts suddenly and progresses quickly, requiring urgent treatment. More...

MALDI-TOF MS Used to Identify Pythiosis

Pythiosis is a life-threatening infectious disease caused by the oomycete Pythium insidiosum. The disease has been increasingly reported worldwide and most patients with pythiosis undergo surgical removal of an infected organ. More...

Targeted Sequencing Approach for Sarcoma Gene Fusions Validated

Sarcomas are rare cancers that grow in a patient's connective tissue, such as bones, muscles, tendons, nerves, and fat. Symptoms may not be apparent, since the only signs of sarcomas are lumps on a person's skin. More...

New mRNA Cancer Drivers Revealed in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

New evidence has emerged showing that the inactivation or alteration of cancer suppressor genes can take place even if DNA itself remains unaltered. A known molecular mechanism for cancer development and spread is the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, which encode various tools the body uses to keep its cells from turning cancerous. More...

Elevated Gene Expression Correlates with Prostate Cancer Severity

Elevated expression of the gene ANO7 has been shown to correlate with the severity and possible outcome of prostate cancer (PrCa). More...
