Novel RNA Blood Test Launched for Fibromyalgia
It is estimated that about five million Americans suffer from fibromyalgia, a poorly understood disorder characterized by deep tissue pain, fatigue, headaches, mood swings and insomnia. It often takes years for a patient to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia and some doctors still refuse to recognize it as a disease. More...10 Apr 2018
Liquid Biopsy Can Rule Out Early-Stage Lung Cancer
Lung nodules are a diagnostic challenge with an estimated yearly incidence of 1.6 million in the USA. The majority of these patients have benign lung nodules; however, there are significant costs, morbidity and mortality associated with the invasive biopsies needed to determine which nodules are cancerous. More...05 Apr 2018
Urinary Gene-Based Test Detects Bladder Cancer
Predominantly of urothelial histology, invasive bladder cancer (BC) arises from non-invasive papillary or flat precursors, and many BC patients suffer multiple relapses prior to progression, providing ample lead-time for early detection and treatment prior to metastasis. More...03 Apr 2018
Cervical Fluid Test Developed for Gynecological Cancers
Together, endometrial and ovarian cancers account for about 25,000 deaths each year and are the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women in the USA. Most of these deaths are caused by high-grade tumor subtypes, which tend to metastasize before the onset of symptoms. More...03 Apr 2018
Chromosome Interaction Profiling Reveals Cancer Risk Genes
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with two main subtypes defined by the presence (ER+) or absence (ER−) of the estrogen receptor. Approximately 80% of newly diagnosed breast cancers are ER+ although this proportion varies with age at diagnosis and ethnicity. More...29 Mar 2018
Cutting Edge Technology Used to Grade Cancer Tumors
Biopsy specimens are processed into formalin-fixed-paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks and currently, hematoxylin and eosin (H + E) stained sections are widely used for the histopathological diagnosis of cancer and other pathologies. More...28 Mar 2018
