Novel, High-Accuracy Blood Test Can Screen for Multiple Cancers
A new targeted methylation-based assay has been developed that is able to screen blood samples for more than 20 types of cancer at all stages, including lung cancer, with high accuracy and it also correctly pinpoints the tissue of origin (TOO). More...26 Nov 2019
Crohn's Disease-Associated Bacteria Tolerate Antibiotics
Crohn's disease is a chronic disease that causes inflammation and irritation in the digestive tract. The disease is characterized by an imbalance in the intestinal microbiome. In particular, adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) strains have been implicated in the disease. More...26 Nov 2019
Second Malignancy Risk Higher for Some Leukemia Survivors
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia diagnosis in adults, with favorable outcomes in majority of patients and a 5-year survival of around 85%. A large proportion of CLL patients may never require treatment, requiring only ongoing surveillance. More...25 Nov 2019
Breast Cancer Recurrence Risk Predicted by Immune-Related Germline Variants
A single normal cell randomly acquires a series of mutations that allows it to proliferate and to be transformed into a cancer cell (i.e., founding clone), which initiates tumor progression and recurrence. More...25 Nov 2019
Aqueous Humor Is Superior to Blood to Diagnose Retinoblastoma
Retinoblastoma is a cancer that forms in the light-detecting cells in the back of the eye. It often appears in children under two years of age and can lead to blindness or eye removal. Most cancers are biopsied and studied so that medical scientists can design targeted treatments. More...25 Nov 2019
Automated Immunoassay Systems Evaluated for KL‐6 Antigen Quantification
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a group of diseases characterized by various forms of pulmonary interstitial inflammation and fibrosis, which are usually chronic, progressive, and fatal, causing death 2‐5 years after diagnosis in most patients. More...20 Nov 2019
