Thyroid Cancer Genetics Study Finds New Mutations
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a form of thyroid cancer, which has a very poor prognosis due to its aggressive behavior and resistance to cancer treatments. Its anaplastic cells have poor differentiation, including dedifferentiation. More...08 May 2018
Breath and Urine Tests Detect Early Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy among females and the leading cause of death around the world. In 2016, breast cancer accounted for 29% of all new cancers identified in the USA and was responsible for 14% all cancer-related deaths. More...08 May 2018

Biomarkers Identified for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
The causes of gastrointestinal complaints in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) remain poorly understood. Altered nerve function has emerged as an important pathogenic factor as IBS mucosal biopsy supernatants consistently activate enteric and sensory neurons. More...02 May 2018
Cancer Blood Test Engineered to Detect Tumors Early
A new innovative microfluidic device has been developed that uses magnetic particles and wavy-herringbone design to capture and release circulating tumor cells (CTC) with a high capture efficiency rate at different tumor cell concentrations. More...02 May 2018

Streamlined Approach Discovered for Treating Bowel Cancer
More than 4,000 Australians die from bowel cancer each year, and more than 17,000 new cases of this cancer will be diagnosed in 2018. Scientists are working to understand the genetic drivers of bowel cancer, with a special interest in those cancers which are the hardest to treat, and which have the poorest prognosis. More...02 May 2018

Molecular Technology Identifies Potential Biomarker for Cancer
For patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the only recommended treatment option is surgery. After complete resection patients with disease at the same stage experience different outcomes, and within five years a third of patients relapse. More...26 Apr 2018
