Genetic Test Identifies Risk of Anal Cancer
Anal cancer is mostly caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), which is the same virus that causes cervical cancer. Diagnosis presents many challenges as full biopsies are painful, and taking a small sample of cells for cytology is problematic because lesions can be hidden. More...14 Jun 2017
Immune System Changes Signal Early Brain Cancer
Glioma is a heterogeneous primary malignant brain tumor with a median survival time, for the most common adult subtype, glioblastoma, of only 14 months. Changes in immune activity appear to signal a growing brain tumor five years before symptoms arise. More...14 Jun 2017
Sequencing Approach to Detect Genomic Alterations
An early study evaluated a sophisticated new genomic-sequencing approach that analyzes cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the blood of people with advanced cancer and will help development of a future assay that could potentially detect cancer in its earliest stages. More...13 Jun 2017
Genetic Mutation Identified for Childhood Kidney Cancer
The underlying mechanism that causes aneuploidy might be important in understanding cancer risk and not solely having the wrong number of chromosomes in a cell. It is an important development that provides valuable information about the fundamental biology of cancer. More...13 Jun 2017
Intestinal Fungi Contribute to Alcoholic Liver Disease
Chronic liver disease with cirrhosis is the 12th leading cause of death in the USA, and alcoholic liver disease accounts for approximately half of all cirrhosis deaths. Chronic alcohol consumption is associated with intestinal bacterial dysbiosis, yet little is known about the contribution of intestinal fungi, or mycobiota, to alcoholic liver disease. More...08 Jun 2017
Heterogeneity Influences Cancer Immunohistochemistry Results
Many gastric cancer (GC) patients are with inoperable lesions and endoscopic biopsy becomes the only available approach to obtain tumor tissues for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) assessment. Unlike resected specimens, biopsy specimens are influenced by many factors and in turn more difficult to manipulate. More...06 Jun 2017
