Simple Inexpensive Test Screens for Esophageal Cancer
Cancer of the esophagus claims more than 400,000 lives around the world each year. With no efficient, reliable method of screening for the disease, by the time symptoms become apparent, it's often too late to save the patient. More...05 Feb 2019

Tumor Mutational Load Predicts Survival Post-Immunotherapy
A survey of thousands of advanced cancers suggests a way to identify those most likely to respond to groundbreaking therapies that unleash an immune response against tumors, but the results highlight how difficult it will be to translate such an approach into a reliable clinical test.

Retina Protein Antibodies Used As Kidney Cancer Marker
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the second-most common uronephrological cancer. In the absence of specific symptoms, early diagnosis of RCC is challenging. Monitoring of the aberrant expression of tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) and related autoantibody response is considered as a novel approach of RCC diagnostics. More...28 Jan 2019

Molecular Prognostic Biomarker Found for CNS Lymphoma
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), a rare subgroup of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) arising in the central nervous system (CNS), is an aggressive malignant variant of nodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). PCNSLs account for 3% of all primary CNS tumors and 1% of NHLs in adults. More...24 Jan 2019
