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.

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...08 Aug 2019

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...31 Jul 2019

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.

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...30 Jul 2019
