Blood Test Detects Brain Damage Years before Symptoms
Alzheimer's disease is a major cause of dementia that destroys brain cells and tissue. As the brain damage spreads, it leads to symptoms such as confusion, memory loss, and diminishing capacity to function. Eventually, the person can no longer lead an independent life. More...07 Feb 2019

DNA Methylation Test Detects Early Aggressive Prostate Cancer
Liquid biopsies that noninvasively detect molecular correlates of aggressive prostate cancer (PCa) could be used to triage patients, reducing the burdens of unnecessary invasive prostate biopsy and enabling early detection of high-risk disease. More...06 Feb 2019

CSF Liquid Biopsy Sequencing Tracks Glioma Evolution
Genetic tumor profiling of gliomas is used to classify disease and guide therapy, but involves brain surgery for tissue collection; repeated tumor biopsies may be necessary for accurate genotyping over the course of the disease. More...06 Feb 2019


Simple Inexpensive Test Screens for Esophageal Cancer
Cancer of the esophagus claims more than 400,000 lives around the world each year. With no efficient, reliable method of screening for the disease, by the time symptoms become apparent, it's often too late to save the patient. More...05 Feb 2019
