AI Platform Identifies 99% of Positive Cancer Cases in Pathology Reports

A new artificial intelligence (AI) platform disrupts the manual and repetitive processes in healthcare to identify positive cancer diagnosis and incidental findings in real time, classify those diagnoses by primary site, and route those patients to cancer navigators and other staff to immediately start the cancer care journey.

TTMV-HPV DNA Biomarker Predicts Recurrence of Oropharynx Cancer

A large, multi-institutional study demonstrates that a blood test to detect circulating tumor DNA can accurately predict recurrence of HPV-driven oropharyngeal cancer following treatment. Results also indicate that the biomarker test may detect recurrent disease earlier than imaging or other standard methods of post-treatment surveillance, allowing physicians to personalize treatment more quickly for patients whose cancer returns.

Two Important Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Operate Independently

Determination of blood levels of the cholesterol-rich biomarker lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score are independently associated with risk of developing coronary artery disease and may be useful concurrently for guiding therapy approaches to prevent its occurrence .
