CTC Blood Test Detects Early Stage Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is among the most preventable cancers when detected early. Yet, it is the second leading cancer killer in the USA. Traditional methods like colonoscopies and stool-based tests are invasive or inconvenient and compliance with colorectal cancer screening remains low, leading to most colorectal cancers being detected in late stages, when survival rates are poor.

Glycan-Attaching Enzyme Defines Colon Cancer
An enzyme that is absent in healthy colon tissue but abundant in colon cancer cells and this enzyme appears to drive the conversion of normal colon tissue into cancer by attaching sugar molecules, or glycans, to certain proteins in the cell. More...08 Feb 2018
Genetic Biomarkers Determine Risk of Developing Endometriosis
Endometriosis is one of the most common women's health disorders, causing up to 10% of reproductive-age women to experience painful periods and potential infertility. Diagnosis can elude patients for decades, in part because exploratory surgery is considered the ultimate diagnostic method. More...07 Feb 2018
Analysis Offers Treatment Options for Olfactory Neuroblastoma
Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare, locally aggressive, malignant neoplasm originating in the olfactory epithelium in the nasal vault. The recurrence rate of ONB remains high and there are no specific treatment guidelines for recurrent/metastatic ONBs. More...01 Feb 2018
Polygenic Score Predicts Prostate Cancer Development
Currently, detection of prostate cancer relies primarily upon the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening blood test, but PSA testing is not very good as a screening tool. While it reduces deaths from prostate cancer, indiscriminate PSA screening also produces false positive results and encourages over-detection of non-aggressive, slow-growing tumors.
