Prognostic Biomarker Found for Colon Cancer Patients
The majority of colon cancer patients whose tumors have started to travel to nearby tissue but no further are cured by surgery alone, but in a minority of these stage II colon cancer cases the cancer returns and the patients die. More...10 Feb 2016
Blood Test Improves Treatment for Acute Myeloid Leukemia
A simple blood test has been developed that is capable of detecting trace levels of leukemia cells remaining after intensive chemotherapy. The test can predict which patients with acute myeloid leukemia are at risk of their cancer returning in the future, helping to guide doctors on what further treatment is needed. More...10 Feb 2016
Aberrant Gene Expression Predicts Metastatic Endometrial and Lung Cancers
The spread of cancer cells from the initial site of occurrence, the primary site, to other secondary tissues is called metastasis, and contributes to poor or limited response of cancer cells to treatments, which results in death. More...10 Feb 2016
