Novel Blood-Based Test Bolsters MRI-Based Prostate Cancer Screening

Prostate cancer does not usually cause any symptoms until the cancer has grown large enough to put pressure on the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the penis (urethra). Symptoms of prostate cancer can include: needing to urinate more frequently, often during the night needing to rush to the toilet. More...

Key Factors Signal Infection Risk in Alcoholic Hepatitis

Alcohol-associated hepatitis (AAH) is a severe form of liver injury with mortality as high as 30%-40% at 90 days. As a result of altered immune function in AAH, bacterial infections are common and are associated with poor outcomes. More...

Genomes of Advanced Neuroendocrine Neoplasms Unveil Subtypes

Metastatic and locally-advanced neuroendocrine neoplasms (aNEN) form clinically and genetically heterogeneous malignancies, characterized by distinct prognoses based upon primary tumor localization, functionality, grade, proliferation index and diverse outcomes to treatment. More...

Multitarget Fecal Immunochemical Test Validated for Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) starts in the colon or the rectum. These cancers can also be called colon cancer or rectal cancer, depending on where they start. Colon cancer and rectal cancer are often grouped together because they have many features in common. More...

CSF Conversion Assay Identifies Lewy Body Disease Cognitive Impairment

Lewy body dementia, also known as dementia with Lewy bodies, is the second most common type of progressive dementia after Alzheimer's disease. Protein deposits, called Lewy bodies, develop in nerve cells in the brain regions involved in thinking, memory and movement (motor control). More...

Minimal Residual Disease Test Predicts Oligometastatic CRC Patient Outcomes

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most common cancer and the second-leading cause of cancer-related death in the USA. Approximately 15%-25% of patients present with metastatic disease upon diagnosis, and approximately 50% of patients with early-stage disease develop metastases. More...

Panel b is an IHC microphotograph for the cSCC tissue, and brown staining can be seen in most of tumor cells (Photo courtesy of Weifang People’s Hospital)

Diagnostic Biomarker MMP-13 Explored for Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Cutaneous basal cell carcinoma (cBCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) account for approximately 80% and 20% of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), respectively Although the majority of cSCCs are successfully eradicated by surgical excision, a subset of cSCC possesses features associated with a higher likelihood of recurrence, metastasis, and death.
