Lunit AI-Powered Pathology Solution Aids Highly Accurate Cancer Diagnosis
Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression is the standard biomarker in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, manual evaluation of PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) by pathologists has practical limitations of interobserver bias, variation in subjectivity on the area of interest, and intensive labor. Now, a new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered TPS analyzer could reduce the human discrepancy. More...28 Apr 2022

Immunohistochemistry-Guided Sequencing Finds Mutations in Most Cortisol-Producing Adenomas
Cushing syndrome (CS) represents a constellation of signs and symptoms associated with chronic and excessive exposure to glucocorticoids, from either endogenous endocrinopathies or, more commonly, from exogenous pharmacologic sources. More...27 Apr 2022

Single-Cell Proteomics of Localized Prostate Cancer Defines Disease Heterogeneity
Prostate cancer affects about 12.6% of men over the course of their lives, and while most individuals with localized disease can be cured, disease does recur in a small number of patients. The treatment of localized prostate cancer is based on clinicopathological information including Gleason score, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, stage, and patient age. More...26 Apr 2022

Two Simple Serum Biomarkers Differentiate Lymphoma from Glioma
Two simple serum biomarkers, absolute lymphocyte count and prognostic nutritional index, which are easily derived from routine pre-treatment blood tests, have fair correlation and acceptable diagnostic accuracy for differentiating primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) from high-grade glioma (HGG) in patients with similar morphology on MRI. More...22 Apr 2022

Neurofilament Light Biomarker Linked With Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is caused by a loss of nerve cells in part of the brain called the substantia nigra. This leads to a reduction in a chemical called dopamine in the brain. Blood biomarkers may allow earlier identification of Parkinson’s disease (PD), Parkinsonism, and poor PD-related outcomes, such as physical functioning. More...19 Apr 2022


Broad Gene Panel Diagnoses Patients With Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health issue in the USA. Identification of monogenic causes of CKD, which are present in ∼10% of adult cases, can impact prognosis and patient management. For the ∼800,000 individuals in the USA with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), genetic diagnosis may inform the selection of potential-related kidney donors, assess the risk of disease recurrence, and guide clinical management following transplant.
