Micro Ribonucleic Nucleic Acid Panel Assays Launched
A novel approach has been developed by combinations of micro ribonucleic nucleic acid specific reverse transcriptase and hemi-nested real-time polymerase chain reaction primers that have been designed to maximize miRNA detection sensitivity and specificity. More...28 Sep 2015
Pancreatic Cancer Tumor and Stroma Subtypes Discovered
Using a novel approach in the largest gene expression analysis to-date of pancreatic cancer, researchers have identified subtypes of PC tumors and of surrounding stroma tissue, potentially paving the way for more personalized therapeutics. More...20 Sep 2015
Testicular Cancer Risk Comes from Inherited Genetic Faults
Testing for a range of genetic variants linked to testicular cancer could be effective in picking out patients who are at substantially increased risk, and therefore, potentially opening up ways of preventing the disease. More...20 Sep 2015
Independent Prognostic Biomarker Found for Klatskin Tumor Patients
Curative treatment of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and hilar cholangiocarcinoma is limited to surgical resection or orthotopic liver transplantation, however, not all patients benefit from a surgical approach and suffer from early tumor recurrence. More...16 Sep 2015
