Circulating Tumor DNA Associated with Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Recurrence
Patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are frequently treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, based on the increased risk for recurrence and death associated with this category of tumors. More...27 Jul 2020
CtDNA Assay for Cancer Recurrence, MRD Applications Demonstrated
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is found in the bloodstream and refers to DNA that comes from cancerous cells and tumors. Most DNA is inside a cell's nucleus. As a tumor grows, cells die and are replaced by new ones. The dead cells get broken down and their contents, including DNA, are released into the bloodstream. More...22 Jul 2020
Type 2 Diabetes Associated with Arrhythmic Daily Gut Microbe
Type 2 diabetes (T2D), formerly known as adult-onset diabetes, is a form of diabetes that is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin. Common symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, and unexplained weight loss. More...16 Jul 2020
Early-Onset Preeclampsia Risk Reflected in Circulating Maternal Transcripts
Preeclampsia is a poorly understood pregnancy-associated disorder. Often marked by hypertension, preeclampsia can lead to severe complications including internal bleeding, seizures, stroke, premature birth, and death. More...13 Jul 2020
Rapid Genomic Profiling of Colon Cancers Improves Therapy Selection
Colorectal cancer is a malignant tumor arising from the inner wall of the large intestine (colon) or rectum. Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer in both men and women in the USA. Most colorectal cancers develop from polyps. Removal of colon polyps can aid in the prevention of colorectal cancer. More...09 Jul 2020
