Novel Technology Enables Detection of Early-Stage Cancer
Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is often fatal because most cases are not diagnosed until they are so advanced that surgical intervention is no longer possible. To improve outcomes a blood test has been developed to detect lung cancer earlier in the disease. More...24 Oct 2018
Epigenomic Method Developed to Detect Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancers are typically diagnosed at late stage where disease prognosis is poor as exemplified by a 5-year survival rate of 8.2%. Earlier diagnosis would be beneficial by enabling surgical resection or earlier application of therapeutic regimens. More...24 Oct 2018
Multiple Myeloma Subtypes Linked to Patient Ancestry
Multiple myeloma (MM) is two- to three-fold more common in African Americans compared to European Americans. This striking disparity, one of the highest of any cancer, may be due to underlying genetic predisposition between these groups. More...23 Oct 2018
Test Identifies More Treatable Cancer Mutations Than Biopsies
Standard of care therapies that target specific mutations have changed the face of cancer treatment, and screening for such mutations, which can be drivers of both disease growth and treatment resistance. This can often be done with a biopsy of tumor tissue, but sometimes that tissue is hard to obtain or does not have sufficient DNA for analysis. More...22 Oct 2018
Study Shows Zika Virus Persists in Body Fluids
Although most Zika virus (ZIKV) infections are transmitted by infected mosquitoes, ZIKV transmission has been documented as occurring through sexual contact, blood transfusion, laboratory exposure, and both intrauterine and intrapartum transmission. More...18 Oct 2018
