HPV DNA Test Monitors Remission in Oral Cancer

A blood-based method has been developed to test patients with human papillomavirus-associated oral cancers for signs of remission or recurrence. This approach would potentially allow doctors to more accurately and more easily identify which patients are free from cancer after radiation treatment, and which might be poised to recur. More...

Resistance of Tumor Cells to Cancer Drugs Detected

Acquired resistance is developing during treatment of cancer patients who were initially responding to the therapy. Drug resistance is mediated by mutations acquired during therapy, in addition to other adaptive responses. More...

Dormant Disseminated Tumor Cells Stratified in Breast Cancer Patients

Breast cancer patients may experience relapse and subsequent death from the disease many years after primary treatment. This indicates an ability of occult cancer cells to survive in a non- or slow-proliferating state, retaining a potential for progression and proliferation at a later time point. More...

Fatal Prostate Cancer Differentiated from Manageable Cancer

Human prostate cancers display numerous DNA methylation changes compared to normal tissue samples. However, definitive identification of features related to the cells’ malignant status has been compromised by the predominance of cells with luminal features in prostate cancers. More...

High-Risk HPV Evaluated for Invasive Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in women worldwide and the role of high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) in the development of invasive cervical cancer (ICC) is well established. More...

Prognostic Value of Blood Cell Counts Investigated

The prognosis and treatment of gastric cancer patients after radical gastrectomy mainly depends on classification of malignant tumors (TNM) stage system. However, the prognosis of gastric cancer patients could be various even with the same tumor stage. More...

CD MicroRNA Marks Subtypes with Differing Outcomes

Crohn’s disease (CD), one of the primary inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract resulting from an aberrant immune response to the enteric microbiota in a genetically susceptible host. More...
