Lynch Syndrome Screening by IHC Leads to Mutation Studies
Lynch syndrome or hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer is an autosomal dominant genetic condition that is associated with a high risk of colon cancer, as well as other cancers including endometrial cancer, ovary, stomach, small intestine, hepatobiliary tract, upper urinary tract, brain, and skin.

Presepsin Concentrations Correlate with Kidney Function Decline
Sepsis is an important public health problem with more than 750,000 patients reported yearly in the USA with similar figures in Europe. Sepsis continues to be a challenge for practitioners, as sepsis mortality rates are still high despite new antimicrobial and resuscitation agents. More...24 Oct 2019

Methylation Signature Identified for Brain Metastases of Lung Cancer
When lung cancer metastasizes to the brain, it means the primary lung cancer has created a secondary cancer in the brain. About 20% to 40% of adults with non-small cell lung cancer go on to develop brain metastases at some point during their illness. More...17 Oct 2019

Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Classified from Whole-Genome Sequencing
A diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer means that the three most common types of receptors known to fuel most breast cancer growth–estrogen, progesterone and the HER-2/neu gene are not present in the cancer tumor. More...16 Oct 2019

Multigene Testing for Breast Cancer Patients Proves Cost-Effective
Health systems in the UK and USA could cost-effectively screen all women with breast cancer for risky germline changes in a handful of breast or ovarian cancer genes, according to a new economic modeling analysis, identifying at-risk individuals who could benefit from additional imaging tests and cancer-reducing interventions. More...16 Oct 2019

New Blood Test Capable of Detecting Multiple Cancer Types
A new blood test in development has shown ability to screen for numerous types of cancer with a high degree of accuracy, a trial of the test shows. In study, test proved able to detect and localize more than 20 types of cancer with a high degree of accuracy. More...16 Oct 2019
