Prognostic Value of Specific Biomarker in Prostate Cancer Authenticated

Prostate cancer (PC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Canadian men. In men with high-risk PC, progression of the disease will lead to biochemical recurrence (BCR), distant metastases, and disease-specific mortality. More...

Pancreatic Cancer Risk Rises with Fasting Glucose

More than 56,000 Americans are expected to be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2019, which is more than 150 people diagnosed every day. Pancreatic cancer is the ninth most commonly diagnosed cancer in women and the 10th most commonly diagnosed in men in the USA. More...

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...
