Microcytosis Is a Risk Marker of Cancer in Primary Care
Microcytosis is a term used to describe red blood cells that are smaller than normal. Anemia is when there are low numbers of properly functioning red blood cells in the body. In microcytic anemia, the body has fewer red blood cells than normal and those red blood cells it does have are also too small. More...20 May 2020
Rare Kidney Cancer Marked by Molecular Features
Renal medullary carcinoma is a rare cancer of the kidney that predominantly afflicts young people of African descent who carry the sickle cell trait, sickle cell disease, or other sickle hemoglobinopathies that can cause sickling of the red blood cells. More...19 May 2020
Blood Test Shows Promise for Predicting Cancer
Early detection of most cancers is an elusive and daunting task; nevertheless, it has remained a top priority for the cancer research community. Detecting cancer early has manifold advantages: it can increase a patient’s chances of successful treatment, prolong their survival, and substantially improve their quality of life.

Bacterial Blood Infections Tied to Heightened Colon Cancer Risk
Colorectal cancer occurs in the colon or the rectum and it is the third most common type of cancer in the USA. Around 90% of cases occur in people aged 50 years or older. As well as age, risk factors include a family history of colorectal cancer, some genetic syndromes, obesity, and a lack of exercise, a diet low in fruit and vegetables, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Multicancer Blood Test Aids Screen for Cancer Guide Intervention
As minimally invasive screening tests, liquid biopsies could help reduce cancer-specific morbidity and mortality through earlier detection. However, there is debate on how to effectively screen large populations for cancer, including individuals who do not have symptoms or history of the disease. More...12 May 2020
Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing Validated for Lysosomal Storage Disorders Diagnosis
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a group of more than 50 inherited rare disorders characterized by the accumulation of specific undegraded metabolites in the lysosomes. This overstorage is commonly caused by a deficient or absent activity of one of the many lysosomal hydrolases or, in a few cases, by the deficit of other non-enzymatic lysosomal proteins.
