Breast Cancer Recurrence Risk Predicted by Immune-Related Germline Variants
A single normal cell randomly acquires a series of mutations that allows it to proliferate and to be transformed into a cancer cell (i.e., founding clone), which initiates tumor progression and recurrence. More...25 Nov 2019


Aqueous Humor Is Superior to Blood to Diagnose Retinoblastoma
Retinoblastoma is a cancer that forms in the light-detecting cells in the back of the eye. It often appears in children under two years of age and can lead to blindness or eye removal. Most cancers are biopsied and studied so that medical scientists can design targeted treatments. More...25 Nov 2019

Automated Immunoassay Systems Evaluated for KL‐6 Antigen Quantification
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a group of diseases characterized by various forms of pulmonary interstitial inflammation and fibrosis, which are usually chronic, progressive, and fatal, causing death 2‐5 years after diagnosis in most patients. More...20 Nov 2019

High Levels Of Blood Hormones Raise Prostate Cancer Risk
Men with higher levels of 'free' testosterone and a growth hormone in their blood are more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Other factors such as older age, ethnicity and a family history of the disease are already known to increase a man's risk of developing prostate cancer. More...11 Nov 2019

Prostate Cancer Methylation Levels Linked to Epigenetic Profiles
Prostate cancer is cancer that occurs in the prostate, a small walnut-shaped gland in men that produces the seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperm. Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men. More...07 Nov 2019

Metastatic Tumor Profiles Lead to Potential Treatment Targets
Metastatic cancer is a major cause of death and is associated with poor treatment efficacy. A better understanding of the characteristics of late-stage cancer is required to help adapt personalized treatments, reduce overtreatment and improve outcomes. More...05 Nov 2019
