Electronic Device May Help Diagnose Early Bladder Cancer

It is estimated that bladder cancer will affect 80,470 people in the USA this year, and about 17,670 deaths are likely to result from these cases. Doctors diagnose approximately half of all bladder cancers while the cancer is still in situ, while in about one-third the disease has already spread to other parts of the bladder. More...

Mutation Study Suggests Changes to Clinical Management

Lynch syndrome (LS) results from pathogenic variants in the mismatch repair (MMR) genes and is the most common hereditary cancer syndrome, affecting an estimated 1 in 300 individuals. More...

Molecular Test Accurately Distinguishes Breast Tumors

A new laboratory test has been developed to identify chemical changes to a group of cancer-related genes that can accurately detect which breast tumors are cancerous or benign, and do it in far less time than gold-standard tests on biopsied breast tissue. More...

Urine Test Used to Individualize Bladder Cancer Treatment

Bladder cancer is the most common urologic cancer in China and is in the top 10 most common cause of cancer death in the USA, leading to approximately 17,000 deaths in 2018. More...

Proteomics Approach Used for Analyses of Breast Cancer

Accurate classification of breast tumors is vital for patient management decisions and enables more precise cancer treatment. Despite the progress achieved in early cancer diagnosis and therapy, many patients develop the deadly disease. More...

Rare Inherited Enzyme Disorder Yields Insight into Fibrosis

Mammalian tissues and organs preserve their structural and functional homeostasis by means of their supportive connective tissue, a three-dimensional network of cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) with different topological characteristics depending on the organ/tissue in which it is embedded. More...

Test Improves Accuracy in Identifying Precancerous Pancreatic Cysts

Pancreatic cysts are common and often pose a management dilemma, because some cysts are precancerous, whereas others have little risk of developing into invasive cancers. Early, accurate detection of pancreatic cancer is a high priority. More...
