Blood Testing Distinguishes Benign Tumors from Precancerous Condition

The leading cause of mortality for patients with the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) cancer predisposition syndrome is the development of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), an aggressive soft tissue sarcoma. In the setting of NF1, this cancer type frequently arises from within its common and benign precursor, plexiform neurofibroma (PN). More...

CCN1 Analyzed as a Biomarker for Breast Cancer Detection

Breast cancer is the most frequent malignancy in women with 1.7 million new cases and over 500,000 deaths worldwide in 2016. Early detection of cancer is believed to be crucial in reducing cancer death. Despite recent progress in liquid biopsy technologies, early blood-based detection of breast cancer is still a challenge. More...

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...
