Liquid Biopsy Assay Evaluated for Early Detection of Gastric Cancer
Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most-commonly diagnosed cancer, and the third leading cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. Despite improvements in treatment modalities, the prognosis for advanced GC following curative resection remains poor. More...08 Sep 2021

PD-L1 Expression in Circulating Tumor Cells Investigated for NSCLC
In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), analysis of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is a potential alternative to overcome the problems linked to the tumor biopsy spatiotemporal heterogeneity. However, the prognostic significance of PD-L1-positive [PD-L1(+)] CTCs remains controversial. More...07 Sep 2021

World's First AI-Powered Solution for Gastrointestinal Cancer Diagnostics to Help Pathologists Reduce Turnaround Time
The world's first Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered solution for gastrointestinal (GI) cancer diagnostics is helping pathologists improve accuracy and efficiency of GI cancer diagnosis in routine practice. More...05 Sep 2021

NanoVelcro Cell Technology Applied in Diagnosis of Pregnancy Complications
Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders, including placenta accreta, placenta increta, and placenta percreta, are the consequences of abnormal implantation, or aberrant invasion and adherence of placental trophoblasts into the uterine myometrium. More...02 Sep 2021

Exhaled Nitric Oxide and Eosinophil Count Diagnose Eosinophilic Asthma
Eosinophilic asthma is now recognized as an important subphenotype of asthma based on the pattern of inflammatory cellular infiltrate in the airway. Eosinophilic asthma can be associated with increased asthma severity, atopy, late-onset disease, and steroid refractoriness. More...01 Sep 2021

Leptomeningeal Disease Diagnosed Using CSF Cell-Free DNA
Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) is a devastating complication of solid and liquid systemic and central nervous system malignant neoplasms. LMD, in which cancer metastasizes to the cerebrospinal fluid, occurs in 4% to 15% of cancer patients and is associated with poor survival, with untreated patients dying within four to six weeks. More...26 Aug 2021

Biomarker p-120 Catenin Distinguishes Conventional Urothelial Carcinoma from Variants
Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma (PC-UC) is an infrequent and clinically aggressive variant of urothelial carcinoma (UC). Initially, PC-UC was identified based on morphology as a potential mimicker of malignant plasma cell and lymphoid neoplasms and is characterized by loss of E-cadherin (E-Cad)–mediated intercellular adhesion. More...24 Aug 2021
