Molecular Diagnostics

Image: A new study shows that so-called “liquid biopsies” - blood tests that detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) - may not only sound an early alert that a treatment’s effect is diminishing, but may also help explain why and sometimes offer clues about what to do next (Photo courtesy of Massachusetts General Hospital).

Liquid Biopsy Blood Tests Detect CtDNA

The so-called “liquid biopsies” blood tests that detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), may not only sound an early alert that a treatment’s effect is diminishing, but may also help explain why, and sometimes offering clues about what to do next. More...

Opioid-Related Deaths Possibly Prevented By Gene Testing

More than 17,500 Americans died in 2015 from prescription opioid overdoses, which are more than quadruple the amount of people who died from this cause in 1999, but it is not just abuse of these medications that can lead to overdoses. More...

Study Validates Test to Predict Breast Cancer Risk

A recent study confirmed that the MammaPrint diagnostic test could identify women with ultralow risk breast cancer, which will allow them to be treated less aggressively, leading to fewer toxic side effects. More...

Three-In-One Blood Test Could Fuel Personalized Prostate Cancer Treatment

A three-in-one blood test has been developed that can predict a patient's response to Poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, as well as how well the drugs may impact survival, and how likely patients are to develop drug resistance. More...

HPV Testing Leads to Earlier Detection of Pre-Cancer

Human papilloma virus (HPV) is a virus that can cause cervical, vaginal, penile and anal cancers. More than 520,000 cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed worldwide each year, causing around 266,000 deaths. More...
