Blood Test Predicts Patient Response to Immunotherapy
In a first-of-its-kind study in the field, researchers found that testing blood-based liquid biopsy samples for genomic mutations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) could help reveal which patients would likely respond to checkpoint inhibitor-based immunotherapies (CIIs). More...09 Oct 2017
Genetic Test Discovered for Predicting Cancer Recurrence
Treatment failure, due to drug resistance, still remains a major obstacle for more effective anti-cancer therapy and personalized medicine. In estrogen-receptor-positive (ER (+)) breast cancer, approximately 40% to 50% of patients eventually develop tamoxifen-resistance. More...04 Oct 2017
New Markers Revealed for Severe Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic condition that affects an estimated 2.3 million people worldwide. In MS, the sheath covering nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord becomes damaged, slowing or blocking electrical signals from the brain reaching the eyes, muscles, and other parts of the body.

Discovered Inherited Syndrome Predisposes Body to Cancer
The syndrome was found and characterized by studying patients with biallelic mutations (mutations in both inherited gene copies) in the FANCM gene. These mutations predisposed the body to development of tumors and to hypersensitivity to and rejection of chemotherapy treatments. Contrary to what has been thought, the study suggests that mutations in the FANCM gene does not cause Fanconi anemia, a rare disease that affects ~ 1 of every 100,000 children. More...02 Oct 2017
